WTF are you talking about? The topic of THIS THREAD is the requirement of a college degree.
Yet, here you ago, another Tepublican Gynecologist, spouting off about spreading my legs.
I probably make more than you ~ you freak.
And my reply was to another poster who said only the wealthy can afford college. My reply stands pat: Can't afford em? Don't have em. Dont like what I say? Don't read it and do you really think I care how much you make? And before you spout of certain claims, you better make damn sure you do.
Great article from the New York Times. Even a $10/hour job as a document runner for this law firm requires a college degree now. All of this thanks to degree inflation, or shall I call it degree water down. All because liberals think everyone has the right to go to college. If one tries to even insinuate that maybe college might not be right for everyone. they throw a hissy fit.
The reason that this would be happening is because the job providers are requiring it.
So if you blame liberals, then I guess you have just stated in a roundabout way that liberals are the primary job creators in this country.
Nope. Not at all. I'm not wealthy, yet I've sent 2 of my 3 children to college and paid for it myself. No loans, grants, etc. All out of my own pocket and you want to know how? Wait for it...I planned for it. Wow, novel concept huh? I didn't ask one single tax payer in this country, to pay more money in taxes, to send my children to school. Not one. And before all you limp wristed liberals start: Nope. They went to private schools their entire lives; no public schools.
I bet you even built your own roads to get your kids to their private schools too, didn't you.
It's interesting that universities are never held accountable for their expensive and rising tuition costs, the way other industries are vilified. Why should a higher education cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars that the student (if they graduate and even manage to find a job in their field) spends decades paying off?
Shouldn't education be affordable for the average person without relying on scholarships, government grants and loans? Why do these bastions of Liberalism look like monuments to greed and unrestrained Capitalism?
Oh yes, they are.
Don't get an education, no one else cares.
But stop blaming others for your failures.

I know. It's the employer's choice.
I use degrees to weed out applicants.
I get dozens of applicants for each vacant position I plan to fill.
I want someone who can complete something on their own - a degree is one of those screeners.
Don't want to make the cut, that's on you.

No, but I am willing to bet that he paid taxes that helped to pay for the roads he uses. The government has never built a road and has never paid for a road. The government has NO money of its own. They are simply a middleman that distributes funding that originates from taxpayers. So while he may not have built the road he drove his kids to school on, he did pay someone else to build them for him. The government is just an inefficient middleman that runs up the costs of building infrastructure.

So you know that his road usage equals exactly the amount of money he paid in taxes toward that usage?
I bet you believe that the amount in tuition he paid was also equal to the actual cost of educating his kids too, right?
Oh yes, I know. I'm sure he paid more than his fair share on both counts.

Oh yes you are a special little snowflake... No, directly he probably didn't pay enough in taxes to pay for the roads he drives on, but I am relatively sure that he made purchases at businesses which in turn had to pay taxes on the profits from that transaction and in turn also contributed.. Is there an exact measurement of what we actually contribute on a day to day basis? No, but we all make a contribution. None the less, the government still has never built or paid for anything. The government has no money of its own. The cost of education? No of coarse not. With the highly overpaid and undereducated professors in colleges today it would be impossible for each individual to pay for the expense of college, but like the road, it gets paid by all of our contributions, not by the government.

Exactly. Some of us just don't feel the need to climb up on a cross to whine about it.

Guess you don't have any real knowledge of universities work. The bloat is with administration, not with those who actually teach and do research.

Where exactly did I argue that the government has money of its own to pay for all the services that we enjoy in this country? Stop making up strawman arguments, you special little snowflake.
