Her present job has got her into the 12$ + range and she is spending thousands to enter a field that pays 14 starting. 10,000 in student debt for a 2 to4 $ pay differential isn't a good option to me but how do you tell a kid that?Gary in Bamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-58201723987316134722017-01-11T11:58:11.043-08:002017-01-11T11:58:11.043-08:00Oh, I am just constitutionally adverse to giving a...Oh, I am just constitutionally adverse to giving advice I know from my own experience is wrong. A student would come in all bright eyed and thinking he would be an easy hire for a good wage - Rather than tell them the problem they faced I pointed out they had 1 week of free/refundable tuition, and as part of their first days assignment had them look at the want ads, then calculate the starting wage that they would qualify for vs. the length of time it will take them to pay off their student loans. I got told that wasn't part of the syllabus, so I had to break it up over the first week. A few got the hint. A few more had the wherewithal to make it or sources of tuition other than loans. Most graduated with what I thought of as dismal prospects.

Then we will have (quite mechanically, indeed) the stupidest religions on a massive scale that will obliterate the capacity of the population to self-organize (let alone to think critically). Think India but much much worse.<br /><br />"Gatekeepers" are necessary if you want to have functioning sewers and electrical power. Without them copper wire will be stolen and clogged sewers lead to mass epidemics.<br /><br />Damn Elites, can't live with them and can't live without them.Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-18523548915689804542017-01-11T10:07:01.371-08:002017-01-11T10:07:01.371-08:00Unfortunately few have the will to pay the opportu...Unfortunately few have the will to pay the opportunity cost to save their soul.

Every time I opened my mouth to tell a student the honest truth of their situation I ran a massive risk of being fired. JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.com
