I didn't get the impression that it's political suicide. Saving taxpayers tons of money in bad loans, protecting parents from having their kids being victimized, protecting young voters from being victimized by bad education and horrible debt. These are all political wins. The problems enter because politicians are under…
if you want anything more than a high school education in the US you have to pay for it.....and after fees and other bullshit even the public schools are far from free
Well her skill and personal sense of responsibility aside, the point is the last part of your argument. She shouldn't have been getting A's at all. She realizes it (when that came to be is up for debate), but the school didn't. And that was there job. To slap her down if she's making crap, and then guide her in the right…
A diploma doesn't guarantee a job 0_0' why the hell have ive been doing nothing all these years and thinking i would get joboffers from everywhere when i graduate :( on the serious side, why the hell does education have to cost so much in the US
Glad i didn't go Uni. :) I'm self taught and while I've yet to get my first job on site at a studio, i don't regret it for a second. I'd probably just be in the same position with a massive debt. I remember a tutor at the college i attended, who was really interested in my work. He said to me once that education just…
Nicely put Dan. But I think she probably doesn't have it in her to finish the 9,900hrs she has left to go. I haven't watched it yet, but are they saying that the federal government won't crack down because of a bubble or because its political suicide to be a politician seen as redirecting huge quantities of educational…
This isn't to excuse what she's doing now, but I don't think it's fair to be quite so critical of her because, she (and anyone in similar circumstances) shouldn't really have been in this situation in the first place. Her work is okay, it's just not higher education/University level material and that *should* have been…
This discussion is a great read for me since I am interested in going to study for a Degree next year. While I understand that there are multiple schools of thought here on the usefulness of tertiary education in this field, I'm not so interested in the actual piece of paper itself, but that hopefully I will have some…
If the problem was some flaw in her personality, then aren't we all guilty of having some flaw or personal shortcoming that we haven't dealt with(or don't realize). Or is everyone here going to claim that they have perfect personalities. If I had joined PC a year earlier then I did, then I might be getting the same…
I don't know the specifics of this girl's situation, but in general I don't think that's a fair expectation to put on someone. Like most college-bound kids in America, I applied for and was accepted to my university during the first half of my senior year in high school. I was 17 years old when I made that decision. I…
