so I'm not sure why it's a talking point
and again this is for 2017 but
right down the road from Evergreen state
My wife was working at a local college last year. They were forcing their employees to do mandatory social justice workshops off the clock. Most of the employees were also students, so they were young and didn’t know any better. My wife was a different story, she was working HR for a large corporation before going back to school full time . She confronted them on this issue, and they dropped it being mandatory. However the vindictive retaliation was so bad she had to quit. She wanted to be a university teacher, but this event soured her to it. The SJW rot runs deep in academia, and the quality of the people they employ is questionable.
You mean choosing to employing people solely because of their gender & skin color & not based on their ability to do the job ends up with bad results? Who could have predicted that?
Yeah. It’s almost like you reap what you sow.
Huh, part of the decline looks to be just fewer people of that age group https://www.childstats.gov/americaschildren/tables/pop1.asp
The next generation will see a massive backlash against colleges
There are a lot of students from this generation who can safely say that college wasnt worth it for them
It was not worth it for me.
Are the STEM colleges still good in america?
places like MIT?
Yes but they are slipping. Suffering the same grade inflation that the humanities have.
i didint even go to college
@Blackhawk342 I've already advise any people younger than me to look at trade schools or take time and learn shit yourself before even looking at college. I say it's not worth it for most things and that was before the SJW rot really set it.
It also depends upon what your definition of worth it is
This is amazing.
Can’t dab on Gab
Well kinda wish I took carpentry or something.
I know that my family didnt have to worry about paying for college because they started saving for it 30 years ago
If you can put away 4k per year for 30 years you can easily afford 4-5 years at most colleges
Realistically thats not an option for most people who have to pay off student loans
Theyll probably spend 10-20 years paying it off
Compared to trade school which costs a fraction of college and provides you with a job/work expirence as you go through it
Shit, well I have no debt, realized I dont have the heart for programming and decided to just make pickeled veges for sale.
I remember an argument I had with someone online. We both agreed that the whole value of a degree of essentially just the resume marker; it didn't really mark education that well. The argument was if the cost to have a marker was worth it if we have embedded paths for minorities to obtain said marker.
Or if that there was even less of a gurantee that the holder was qualified?
What was his arguments for it?
Essentially that it offered a recognizable reference on a resume for people from different backgrounds. It's harder to get jobs if recruiters have to frame of reference for the value of any of the things on the resume
Oh I meant the minority part of it
Oh, since the degree doesn't really show any mastery to begin with, it's more that the person is willing to get it despite the costs because of the opportunities it provides
But wouldnt that devalue it more the easier they make it for said minorities
We never came to an agreement
Eh I kinda see a contradiction.
Make it easier for minorities since qualification isnt the skill but the passion for it.
Making it easier means the effort or passion needed isnt as high. Degree value goes down since its so easy to get in.
Part of it is assumed that the normal financial cost is harder to meet for the minority, so it'd be greater time effort to pay off
At the cost of everyone else minority or no that is not under any financial harship having their degrees devalued.
