I see another loser just got the IGNORE button. In case you're wondering, it was the HORRIBLE/BIDET voter that repeated a fake media lie.
For the record, I dont think you are the suckers and losers the president thinks you are.
On the high end.. there are schools charging $70-$75K per year for just tuition alone Univ of Chicago around $75K..
A lot of people who do a degree in the hard sciences i.e. chemistry, physics, biology etc... do it because they want to get into med. or pharmacy school. If you are just looking to get just a BA you are better off doing engineering, accounting, etc... if you are into the sciences or into math. Having a BA in the sciences or math will not be all that conducive to finding a job. The sad part is that in North America a lot of people end up doing a BA so they can get into med., law, pharmacy school etc... while in Europe and i believe in Quebec you can get right into these schools or fields right after high school and it is also a lot less competitive. So they maybe solid students but now when they cannot reach the extremely high standards for most of these professional schools they are left with a degree that is not particularly useful when it comes to unemployment and the debt that comes with it.Seems to me that there are two reasons for college with regard to employment. A BA in science/math/finance can lead to employment in the field. The other route is to take "easy to get an A" courses with the goal of getting into a graduate school, which is another way of saying a trade school that teaches medicine, law or advanced studies. The catch with the second option is the exam for entrance (LSAT,MED,etc) where if the student didn't get a good knowledge base in the chosen field he/she will get a low score and have a humanities BA that goes well for sidewalk cafe chats but not much else.
HVAC, blacksmithing and culinary arts come to mind. They worked for me.Some trades are still well paying but a lot of that work has been taken by computers, automation, AI and outsourced to low wage countries. If one picks a trade today, it had better be one that's immune to those factors.
Fact check as you libtards like to say....27 witness say he never said it--it doesn't fit the narrative of a president who has helped the military so much. ACTUALLY, IF YOU WANTED TO REMEMBER DISRESPECT FOR THE MILITARY, HEARKEN BACK TO OBAMA THE CHOSEN ONE'S WORDS ABOUT WOUNDED VETS: "THEY CHOSE IT" AS WARRIORS, not to mention not saluting or returning salutes to soldiers as he got off planes and helicopters.Happy Veterans Day. For the record, I dont think you are the suckers and losers the president thinks you are.
that started with Bill Clinton giving China our stealth submarine technology for nothing (maybe it was for nothing, even though he accepted a $600k contribution from Indonesia for accepting their super clean coal while locking up our super clean coal in a "new" fed park in Utah. He had not learned to deal in the huge financial amounts he would later learn to do)Speaking of TDS, I saw yesterday that some pundit is afraid Trump will give up our vital secrets. If so, I hope he does it in the approved manner by keeping them on an unsecured server in his house.
Why is it that the rise in educational costs compared to everything, including medical expenses NEVER GETS INVESTIGATED?It really depends on the school and the state it is located in...
On the low end, there are schools with annual tuition rates around $7K.. generally speaking you can double that number once you factor in housing, books, meal plans, parking, and all of the other stuff they hit you up for.. so think in terms of $12-$15K annual..
On the high end.. there are schools that no shit are charging $70-$75K per year for just tuition alone (Harvey Mudd, Univ of Chicago, and Columbia are all around $75K.. Most of the Ivy League and a handful of other schools are north of the $70K per year mark (Northwestern, Sara Lawrence, SMU, USC, etc)..
That said.. many states now have state level, statewide scholarship programs for students that graduate high school with reasonable GPA's that can offset these costs quite a bit.. and the schools themselves have fairly robust departments that specialize in getting students grants and other forms of financial aid..
For example.. Harvey Mudd.. one of, if not the most expensive schools in the US... annual tuition is more than $75K.. but the average student pays about $33K a year after grants, scholarships, and other aid is provided...
Still an insane amount of money when you figure the cost of an undergrad degree from Oxford or Cambridge in the UK is about $12K a year (two of the finest universities in the world)..
But that is the difference in the US university system and the systems you find in other countries..
Elsewhere the priority is education.. in the US the priority is "experience"... Experiences cost money... and now that universities cant provide those experiences.. they cant compete... and kids are dropping out like flies and pursuing other options..
Because the administrators are smarter than the politicians that funnel them money.Why is it that the rise in educational costs compared to everything, including medical expenses NEVER GETS INVESTIGATED?
