The problem with High School kids is that they are just stupid. They have no concept of what the real world is like and make choices based on their limited High School experiences
A kid loves art or music so they become Art Majors or Music Majors. It will not make you an artist or a musician. Our greatest artists and our greatest musicians did not go to college for it. Best a college degree will do is allow you to teach art or music to others
Parents need to stop accommodating kids on their college choices. Kids get to pick any college they want or any major they want and parents just write the checks no questions asked
How many kids choose a college based on where their friends are going or because they have a winning football team or because they want to go to Florida or California? How many choose majors that do nothing to make them employable?
Parents need to learn to say no
Until when? When do these kids start taking responsibility for their own choices then? Oh I forgot, you're a liberal. The answer for your type is "never."
Ummmm...hey, genius. Technical schools teach technical subjects. Not culture, art, or debate.I studied in Japan for a year of my BA Degree. I had a friend who majored in Law and then got a job in Export Sales. Another was a Biology major who joined QC department of a company that produced stereo equipment. Still another was a History major.....he is now a Civil Engineer. They all received job related education and training after they were hired.
My point? The purpose of college is to learn how to learn. To refine the skills taught in public schools while developing independent thought and independence in general. You never know where life will take you.
HAHAHA What liberal crap. There is no thinking involved in "studying" history or political science. And if you want to learn easy mush like that, you can get a book at the library and do it on your own.
Only kind of intelligence is technical intelligence. THINK
If I want to make something, I'll draw a plan and make it. There's nothing wrong with practical things, but they certainly aren't the be-all, end-all of education.
Our technical schools are turning out non-thinking morons with no respect for culture, the arts, or any other thing they can't hit with a hammer. Most of them couldn't construct an argument if their lives depended on it.
If an 18 year old is earning all he [sic] money for his education, ...
So, when was the Engineer of Womyn's Studies program established?We call those people Democrats.
What degrees do you hold?
Only one. In engineering. From Roosevelt University in Chicago. GI bill and student loans and one grant for being of Italian descent. One only, I don't pretend to have more than I earned.

Maybe you should start saving up for your own education.
College major that makes you the most amount of precious money...
Or the life that is most fulfilling?
Have you been brainwashed enough?
No reason they can't be one and the same...plenty of money and a fulfilling life.
As a matter of fact, the one thing that is fucking up my life right now is lack of money. I don't even need to be rich. I just need ENOUGH money. And I don't have that right now.
Money is freedom, that's what it is. If I had it to do over I would have sought out a career I could enjoy that also paid a lot of money. The best of both worlds.
Not having money for the things you need can suck the joy right out of life.
I've found that no matter how much I earn, I spend it. And no matter how much I spend I can always find ways to spend more. I find I have more freedom when I have less things less money. Somehow the money and things just become anchors and time sucks.
Last year one of my fellow students was talking to our welding instructor, asking him about available jobs. The instructor called a former student of his who was at the time welding gas pipeline in Eastern KY. Guy said you can come out and use a company truck, draw per diem, lodging provided, and make 60 grand. If you owned your own truck, it was a hundred grand.The oil and gas industries need thousands more engineers. And the demand will only increase with time.
Every industry in this and other nations need more engineers. The world economy, on the whole, has not produced the people educated in the fields it takes to sustain our technology. On my level, we simply cannot get enough qualified millwrights and electricians, and on the level just above, getting engineers is equally difficult.
We've been lied to in this nation. We've been told that everyone needs a 4-year degree to be a success.
4-year degrees rarely produce the people who DO things in America. Technical educations, what used to be called vo-tech, DO produce the people who do things.
A lot of rep points rides on if you're referring to the military or not.Here, and everywhere else, the media, movies, tv, ect. simply portrays the people that do the everyday work that powers the world economy as klutzes, and glorifies the people with the guns and useless jobs, like athletes.

A kid out of HS who can get into an apprenticeship type of position has a leg up on many of his college bound buddies. First, he is earning good money right out of High School and second, he is not paying $25,000 a year or more to be educated
Maybe you should start saving up for your own education.
Paid it off 35 years ago....
You were swindled.
A kid that understand [sic] wealth and how money works is set for life.
He sounds a lot smarter than you do.
A kid that understand [sic] wealth and how money works is set for life.
How about a kid that understands how to communicate properly in English?

You, of all people, are hardly qualified to make such a judgment.

They dont [sic] need to know a bit of English to get wealthy. Wealth has no favorite language. it [sic] only requires you understand its principles.
A proud NY State public school education and State University Degree (Go UB)
Set me up for a 35 year career of Government service
Youre [sic] about a [sic] dumb as toe lint.

And here we see the laziness and avoidance of responsibility that so often results in wealth and success.
