It is money at every school. Professors used to live like clergy. Now they make Wall Street bucks and students borrow hundreds of thousands that they have little intention of repaying. And the government funds it all. One would think it was all some grand scheme. </s>
I note your sarcasm tag.
I completed 8th grade, then- dropped out of high school one month after school started due to personal (family) reasons, AND left home a year later at age 15.
At age 24, I studied and took a GED test before joining the military, scoring a B+ grade. This was a very hard test considering that I had not been engaged in formal educational testing/comprehension for the last 10 years.
I then went on to score 143 on my military ASVAB test in 1982, qualifying me for any of the 400 jobs (MOSs) available to recruits.
My point is that I have almost zero financial investment in my education, and I would go up against any of these GEN Z graduates who are staring down the barrel at $250,000 OR MORE in student debt upon graduation. I would also go up against their teachers and professors, who pull down $150,000 to $300,000, or even way more in annual salary (often funded by the taxpayer) in a head-to-head test of intelligence.
As a kid (boomer) we worked for the satisfaction of working (a job well done and sometimes for no pay). I would not want to grow up at any other time.
Once again pointing out the obvious, have you seen ANY Republicans advocating for reducing funds to these publically funded brainwashing/indoctrination centers that masquerade as institutes of higher learning?
Nor have they EVER defunded NPR.
GOP (spit)
