Oubliette User ID: 32552748 United States 02/04/2013 12:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My child will be college age in another 5 years. I plan on letting him do dual enrollment in high school do he can get some free college credits before he graduates, but I don't know what to encourage him to do after that. I have long since lost faith in the American University system. Getting tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, in to debt doesn't seem like a smart way to start a young life. This is especially true when that debt doesn't do anything to guarantee a good job. My husband doesn't have a degree, but he makes a decent living, and he got there by working his butt off and working his way up in the company. This is an oubliette. The labyrinth is full of 'em. |

Why spend 100,000 to get a god dam peice a paper when you can do the same for 39.95. Plenty of smart people do that. Why rack up monthly payments. You'll never get a job that pays enough to pay those scam student loans. Just be what your god put you here for and live life with a smile and some money in your pocket. Listen, not everybody is made out to be a worker bee. That shits for the hybrids they are manufacturing now. People need to watch tv all day and become zombies for the meat grinder. |

Unless you are implying that they were conditioned to studied all their lives to get to the pinnacle of their specialisation, only to realize it was all a lie and that there is no hope for them because they are not from rich backgrounds that enable them top jobs and favors that ensure they stay on top?

godfathercr User ID: 33676613 Spain 02/04/2013 01:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Shelling out tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for higher education may no longer be the surefire path to a great career that it used to be. A recent report compiled by the education resource group OnlineColleges.net found that more than 300,000 Americans with either Master's degrees or Ph.D.s were receiving food stamps in 2010 -- and many more are likely on some form of government assistance today as economic conditions since that time have only continued to worsen. Quoting: Person445 To give a point of reference as to how bad the situation truly is, there were fewer than 100,000 Americans with Master's degrees or Ph.D.s on food stamps in 2007, which means the overall number of people with extensive college educations on government assistance more than tripled in just three years. And if this trend continued at the same rate between 2010 and 2013, the total number of college educated on government assistance today has easily eclipsed more than half a million, and with no end in sight. According to the latest government data, more than 5,000 people working right now as custodians have Ph.D.s they are not using, and another more than 100,000 people with at least a bachelor's degree currently work in some sort of custodial position. A whopping 80,000-or-so people with at least a bachelor's degree also currently work as attendants at amusement parks and other recreational facilities, while nearly 320,000 college graduates currently work as servers at restaurants and cafes. "According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, roughly one in three college graduates works in a job the Labor Department says requires less than a bachelor's degree," Learn more: [link to www.naturalnews.com] MURRICA MUH LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES |

People are still going about their business and doing things AS IF NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Everything has changed, our economy is not what it used to be so people need to change their ideas about higher education for higher educations sake, and learn a trade that can actually work in the kind of market we are dealing with.
