Any questioning of the gubamint be RAAAAAAAACist!
Regarding the difficulty of obtaining a degree as an adult -
I can help you and any others obtain a Real BSBA degree from a fully accredited regional college, ie: Charter Oak State College in CT.
From personal experience it is possible to earn a BSBA from scratch (0 credits) and earn 120 credits in less than 12 months, part time, while working full time.
I did it while working full time a few years ago.
It cost less than $9,000 and you study using used textbooks and then sit for a survey summary subject CLEP & Dantes DSST exams at a college testing center near you.
Completely legit.
The COSC degree led me into an MBA program at an out of state University, which I completed partially online in 18 months, for $17,000.
Once you successfully complete a few course exams, you will be hooked!
CLEP / DSST computer based 90 minute exams cost about $100, and typically award 3 to 6 credits if you successfully pass 50+ questions out of up to 108 questions.
DSST exams were originally developed for active duty military students.
I recommend using CLEP, and DSST exam study guides, along with purchasing recommended used College text books, and viewing the Standard Deviants college subject videos.
Spark notes & Spark charts are helpful, too.
Note: this type of learning is expedient, and works well for a soft skill, non-technical business degree.
STEM degrees require considerably more time and skill that may not be possible for the self directed DIY learner.
If anyone has further interest in this, please let me know via FRmail.
25% or higher.
If it was 5.6%, there would be little problem; because that’s nearer to ideal. Of course, our government is totally lying about that. Any good business knows they would be doing good if that was the true percentage. I bet it’s more like 25% or a lot more.
25-30% Unemployed of the total potential workforce.
This is Depression era numbers— we are not now nor ever have been in a recovery of labor or capital.
Thanks obamaumao!
All the job recovery has been in Texas.
I run some very simple numbers...
5.4% Official unemployment; only includes those that are taking unemployment “benefits”
40% of real unemployed are not looking and not taking unemployment “benefits”; from official numbers here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3292018/posts
(this is why the government says that when we get an uptick in unemployment, it is good because those that are not considered the unemployed are coming back to look for work and are now to be considered unemployed - this is the official message)
9% of official unemployment plus those that unemployed and not working
And this doesn’t include the underemployed, which has been estimated at twice the above 9%
18% unemployed is a quick number that I can come up with very easily for a comparison with depression unemployment
But the people in the old bread lines were skinny.
Remember, leaving the workforce and having ‘free’ healthcare is the new way to ‘find yourself’ ‘write poetry’ ‘explore.’ Obambi, his minions, and handlers despise all that is good, graceful, and great in this world. One of Saul Alinsky’s main targets is the middle class. Obambi has mastered the Alinsky Marxist way of speaking; rhetoric that purports to support the middle class, while instituting policies and programs that destroy that same middle class.
obamadepression. the numbers resemble hoover’s. Yet the MSM ignore that factoid.
Hey, I just now caught your reply here. Thank you!!
