Think College Costs Are Too High and Government Should Help Students?

[Weatherman2020]

How about forcing colleges to layoff Directors of Lesbian and Queer Diversity making 6 figures? Most colleges have that crazy staff on payroll.

What should be done is make college education available to all online CHEAPLY. One professor could teach thousands of students, rather than a bunch of asshole profs making huge salaries and teaching as it it were 1950. This would eliminate the need for huge campuses full of the buildings that cost outrageous sums of money to build and maintain. No need for traveling to campus or paying for room and board on campus.

It is far past the time to eliminate the old ways of obtaining a college degree.

But if it is online, how can we justify Directors of Lesbian and Queer Diversity and insist there is a rape problem on all college campuses?

Total waste of money for most of the students. Get them to become skilled tradespersons. Electricians, Welders, Carpenters, Truck Drivers, Plumbers etc.

But this is where the big GOVT homo's can corral them to be brain-washed.

When my son was at UM in Ann Arbor, he lived in the dorm his first year. They had a large bulletin board at the entrance. It was full of leftism 101. Rape was a big thing. Male dominance too. Racism too. It told students how to report any violation they witnessed, including anyone who said anti-left things. Big brother big time. Very anti anything that was against the state. It made me want to vomit.

However when I asked my son about it, he said he nor any of his friends paid any attention to that leftist bull shit.

Just what we need....millions of Electricians, Welders, Carpenters, Truck Drivers, Plumbers flooding the employment market

Yeah...we need millions of college educated people who can't find a job. That is far better right?

It’s expensive because the federal government has increased the demand for it by loaning money to 18 year old kids to spend at college (read predatory lending). Now anybody capable of signing their name can go to college. Unfortunately many of these kids get degrees that will not produce an income to justify the cost of the loan. But our government doesn’t care because they believe they will make a tidy profit from these loans. The reality is they are hamstringing young Americans with debt that will take decades for them to payoff, cost tax payers billions, and keep the young from participating in the appreciation of Home ownership. But other than that, it’s all good.

Mike Rowe just did a segment on a guy who started his own septic pumping company. Guy is a multi-millionaire now.

Or you can go get a Masters in something and slave away making someone else rich while you take home $34,000 a year.

Construction industry is filled with older people who will soon be retiring. 20 years from now no one will be building homes because no one has the skills.

We need more than we have now, and there are more trades than just the basics. HVAC, and telecommunications for example.

We also need to incentivise going into STEM disciplines, mostly Engineering, so we don't need to import more at the rate we currently do.

But Engineering classes are "hard" while for most of the current "studies" curriculums can be passed by just parroting the crap the teacher spews out.

Or if you go to college get a degree in something practical.

I started at $40k in 1999 with a ChemE degree and work in Environmental Engineering and now make $126k.

I probably could be making more if I jumped around from company to company, but I didn't

The government should provide FREE online college level classes that should be accepted at every university

 

[ScienceRocks]

I think government should provide free or regulate how much state colleges can charge.

There is a reason why these online university degrees get no respect in the academic world. No one learns or retains a damn thing from computer based instruction. My daughter went the online route to stay home and take care of my granddaughter. She got a degree in criminal justice. When she applied to jobs requiring that degree, she never got a response. The general consensus was that no one in the right mind would hire someone with an online degree because they had no practical experience. On other words, they laugh at those degrees!

Another example is teachers who get their master's in educational leadership online in order to become administrators. If you find yourself working for an asshole or dumb ass, it is always easy to trace to the fact they have a degree they received online. I worked for one vice principal and with another assistant principal who qualified on both counts. They were complete wastes of good oxygen and sterling examples of the Peter Principle.

That is true only if you are a teacher or social worker. Everybody else gets the big bucks!

States already determine how much state colleges can charge! DUH!
