in an age where it takes an AS degree to clean the restroom, a BS to jerk coffee, and a masters to run a coffee shop

What caring parent would want to send their children to an indoctrination camp.

Unbelievable...Harvard, Yale, Princeton...in the past a parent could only DREAM of sending their children to those Universities.

NOW, a parent would be a fool to even try to have their kids attend these Cesspools.

And here’s the best part...the tuition INCREASES. iMAGINE
how stupid a parent would have to be to send their precious child into that Snake Pits.

GREAT NEWS! Hang these pinkos out to dry!

Yeah, I guess being eighty grand in the hole with a masters degree in Interpretive Afro/Haitian Dance isn’t going to get you $400,000 a year and the corner office.

Be smarter. Learn plumbing.

So going 120k in debt for a Trans studies degree with a minor in fisting is a bad idea?

in the ‘80’s, i had one class left to satisfy the curriculum credits necessary for a BS in Avionics Technology. well, o and behold, during tje summer break the leadership decided to make that degree a FIVE YEAR curriculum.. at that point, all my CCAF, victor valley ccollege, san bbernardino comm ollege, and now dowling college work meant crap. i could not afford it anymore, either. i was not going to go into debt for that last year of school. they may just do it again next year!! so, i just said PHOOEY, and i haven’t regretted it.

Very uncool. They should have made the fifth year a requirement for all NEW students. The ones in the program already, should have had the same deal they signed up for.

Only kids from the top half of the high school class should be going for 4-year degrees.

Otherwise, it is just putting lipstick on a pig.

By GPA, I was in the bottom 5% of my high school class. My feelings at the time were that a D meant you didn’t have to take the class again. My test scores were high enough to get a number of colleges to accept me.

Aw Geez, that is the post of the day! Award winning and true.

All those idiots get government jobs, teaching jobs or, shudder, HR jobs.

[Terry L Smith]

well, duh, that’s what they did, george, that’s what they dd!

however, unlike some folks, i already had 3 years USAF- in avionics, 5 years as a microwave technician, so i had some ecperience in the field, too.

Occasionally there will be a “late bloomer” who wakes up after sleeping through high school.

There is also the high school star who flames out in college.

But that’s not the odds.

The world needs ditchdiggers too.
