Why?
(are you and bb starting something with this thread)?
Nice one LAst-12….FREE is Barry's American middle name.. Must have thought of this brilliant plan on the Golf course over the holidays in Hawaii chopping away. Can you believe with all the Golf this phony plays that he sucks at golf??? I mean if you and I are going to pay for all these rounds of golf and all the costs involved when Barry and the Boys want to tee it up, he should at least be a respectable Golfer….but no…he is a total hack!!! Freaking embarrassing for any American Golfer. I would have to give him 16 strokes him being a 26 handicapper…
There is enough lottery revenue to provide this service. That way, if I choose to support it, I can by buying a lottery ticket. It's absurd for me to pay more taxes so that people that wouldn't go to college anyway decide that their 650 SAT brains can clog up the classrooms simply because they aren't paying for it.
I will concede that I have not researched any of this other than what was on that vine video. But I have a feeling I won't support this after reading the details.
And no, bb and I did not discuss this prior to him posting this thread.
That lottery explanation makes sense now. Pretty good idea actually.
Where I come from lottery winnings aren't taxed.
I would hope that this program persuades people to go to college. From what I gather this idea is not mandatory.
In other words, let's have more of this :bz /:) *-:)
not %-( :-?? X_X
And so the fuck what, he sucks at golf. Big fucken deal. You think Georgie pourgie can play par? You think Georgie never took vacations? Man, how old are you Dan? Were you even old enough to know what was going on in the early 2000's when our great wise president was running around the world like a madman? I'm not saying 44 is the best but god damn, how in the world can anyone FORGET 2000-2008? Are we that fucken gullible?
How about 2 years of trade schools? Then you can actually develop a skill that can put food on the table. About 99.99% of Americans have no idea how to change brake pads or hang a door.
No employer gives two shits if you have 2 years of community college on your resume. Not even Taco Bell.
I agree! At least with a trade skill option there's some hope at a future??? I did all my community credits in the last year of high school completed, AND I graduated two years early, through the GED.. Got the highest score of the year too! Do it's not exactly a necessary field into college or university. I went straight from HS, to UC Davis!
So..,, I totally agree, that we shouldn't waste our "free" ( BS word by the way, nothing is FREE) education on the piddly let's pay thousands of dollars to 'finish' HS crap, and instead put it towards something where these kids are LEARNING SOMETHING USEFUL!
I saw that a fairly low GPA is required (among other requisites). Isn't 2.0/2.5 considered C...as in mediocre?
Great idea, Jason! Two years of trade school would help a heck of a lot of young people move toward finding good jobs.
But I disagree about the two years of community college being worthless. For a number of years, I worked as program assistant in Human Services at our local community college. Students who completed the two year course received a Human Services Certificate and an Associated Arts degree, both of which open many doors for jobs in agencies like rehab centers, child protective services, elder care, our local Women's Center, Senior Daycare, and other social services jobs. I often run into some of these students in the bookstore and and great to see them doing well and working in jobs that help others- all because of there efforts to work through a two your community college program.
I saw similar things happen when I worked at De Anza College Bookstore several years ago. That school has, among several other choices, a two year nursing program that has put a lot of people in a position to do great work.
Just to be clear I really can't stand all politicians, been around them my whole carrer. That's why I poke fun at them cause I think most are no good liars.
Teaching the willing a trade/ skill is a much better idea than a 2 year community college degree...what does that get you???
And by the way GW would absolutely smoke Barry and on course...he should just stick w/ basketball which by the way be sux at too. Was assigned to his security detail a few times over the years when he gets the b-ball playing brilliant political minds of Chicago togther for some "pick up" basketball. Or I should say, let Obama score games..I felt like I was watching a Dad teaching his young son the game and he lets his son Win. Anyhow, I will have some better material if Hilliary gets anointed..
I support this measure, but only in absence of something better. Student loan reform and reigning in the ridiculous cost of university education are what we really need.
dude yeah please stick to being a cop you have no future in comedy .....
I don't want to pay for it. That's what's wrong with it.
HOUSTON—Justin Friend’s parents have doctoral degrees and have worked as university lecturers and researchers. So Mr. Friend might have been expected to head for a university after graduating from high school in Bryan, Texas, five years ago.
Instead, he attended Texas State Technical College in Waco, and received a two-year degree in welding. In 2013, his first full year as a welder, his income was about $130,000, more than triple the average annual wages for welders in the U.S. In 2014, Mr. Friend’s income rose to about $140,000.
That has allowed the 24-year-old to buy a $53,000 Ford F-250 pickup truck, invest in mutual funds and dabble in his hobbies, such as making jet engines, including one he attached to a golf cart.
“Not everybody needs a four-year college degree,” said Kathryn Vaughan, his mother, a retired biology lecturer who spent part of her career at Texas A&M University.
The risks of a mismatch between costly university degrees and job opportunities have become clearer in recent years. Anthony Carnevale, director of the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University, said nearly a third of people aged 22 through 26 with a Bachelor of Arts degree either don’t have a job or are working at one that doesn’t require a university degree. The numbers are similar for young people with vocational degrees, but those lower-cost degrees don’t typically lead to heavy debts.
Eric Kayne for The Wall Street Journal Justin Friend usually is working about 72 hours per week, making $25 in regular wages and significant overtime pay for nights and weekends.
Student loan debt outstanding in the U.S. totaled $1.13 trillion as of Sept. 30, up by $100 billion from a year earlier, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. (Mr. Friend has no debts.)
