Who cares about our kids, and the debt they have to pay back... or worse, pass on to their own kids. Why a nation going bankrupt (like Greece) should NEVER be a concern/sarcasm
It used to be that it was "glory" of working on a great project. Now with the number of people working on a project, there is no "rock star" status available. The need to perform all the extra OT that is now almost "required", makes the job no longer "fun".
The industry collapse will come when nobody is willing to work for the breadcrumbs being offered for work that is unfulfilling. The companies that adapt will survive.
Great, then if you want to be educated but not in anything useful, then pay your own damn bills. The moment you take a loan to get educated, it becomes about becoming employable, so that you can pay back your bills. The disconnect between who pays for something, and the benefit to those paying for it that you have is astonishing.
If you have a degree in anything, and the only thing you are qualified to do, is flipping burgers (soon to be replaced by robots), then you have wasted your education. I hope having a useless* and meaningless** degree makes you feel important.
*Useless as a life skill. ** Meaningless, well not quite "meaningless" to the person who got it, but meaningless to just about everyone else looking for skilled employees. All that "knowledge and education" is not useful (see first *)
The purpose of "higher education" is two fold. It is to get you a prescribed training to get you a specific skill set to perform job duties as required. The second part, is to get you a piece of paper, proving you've completed said prescribed training.
From your example, getting a degree in Women's Studies might not be great for finding a job alone, but if you're interested in understanding the context that women live in, then it's invaluable and you can't put a price on it.
A person can do all such things without going to college. Education doesn't always require a degree from a 4 or 8 year college program. The two part answer I gave above is relevant here. A degree in Women's Studies simply means you've completed the prescribed course. It doesn't mean you understand women. I am not even sure that is possible (JK)
You're just now burdened only by doing the work and not figuring out how to pay for the privilege of working your brains out to get a mastery of that subject matter.
Why? Why should I pay for some idiot to get a degree in Woman's Studies? One that you have already admitted being economically worthless? Government paid education sounds great, until you factor in economic viability of those degrees. Government sucks at economics.
Here is the test. If a person (or business) fails, that person pays for it. If Government fails, everyone pays more. There is no incentive to prevent government failures, just raise taxes (all taxes are regressive)
stuff they knew in in antiquity was far more advanced than we've given them credit for.
The real issue for me is that this is not just the RCC that does this, evolution theory also does this. The idea that we are SO MUCH SMARTER than people a couple thousand years ago is one that I find hilariously short sighted. We aren't much smarter, we cannot be. What we are is more knowledgeable about things, but that is not the same thing as intelligence.
Something is of value, only if it is difficult. If it becomes easy (like many college degrees), it isn't valuable almost by definition. YES getting an education is valuable, but you don't have to have a degree to be educated. In today's world, you can be an expert (literally) on your own in many areas, without ever touching a college campus.
A college degree should get you in the first door, after that, it is up to you. A degree in Woman's Studies isn't going to get you into many doors, and that is a disservice to every school offering it.
1) Forcing people to take courses they don't want is to get you a "well rounded education" (ostensibly). The problem is (IMHO), that it is so one sided (Arts, Humanities, Social) that we have a huge group of people talking "Liberal Arts" style majors who don't have to take but the basics in Math and Science, and no business, that you end up with a whole bunch of people who are not well rounded. I know plenty of people who are Liberal Arts that cannot do basic math, let alone have any knowledge of science. It is the overemphasis away from STEM in college that has harmed college graduates.
2) Things that are easy (college degrees) are never valuable. It is the difficulty that makes something valuable. Something that no woman's study major would ever understand.
Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for courses for your enlightenment.
I would be open to have a much higher standard of STEM requirements for the "soft sciences" like Liberal Studies requirements within STEM Studies. Problem is, there wouldn't be any Liberal studies if they had tougher STEM requirements because those that take Liberal Studies can't get a STEM degree, or even Business.
Sanders is irrelevant, unless you believe government is the solution to every socio-economic problem it has ever created. Nothing like voting for more of the same expecting different results.
How do you fund your liberal college degrees such as "Woman's Studies" and "Ethnic whatever" if you don't have college loans to hype to those who want to get a dead end degree? And the Business degree types telling people to get STEM degrees because there is a shortage of qualified candidates, only to only hire H1B immigrants because... well they are cheaper than American STEM degree holders.
College and big business is such a lie these days that your best bet is to go out, make your way in the world, and get educated outside the mainstream model. But then again, that might constitute a threat to the establishment and get you on some sort of government watch list, having the NSA and FBI watching your every move.
Having pre run Conduit, with plenty of room for whatever wiring you want, to every room is indispensable. I've found that running multiple locations in the larger rooms is also very helpful. Make sure to leave Pull rope inside as well.
I don't think you understand what Broadcast is, at least in the context that I describe.
Broadcast is One point serving all others the same content, simultaneous . While certainly possible via TCP/IP, that protocol is typically used in P2P, which is not a broadcast of any sort.
You are under the impression that people tell the truth. Very rarely do people tell the truth. The whole Political Correctness gig is simply a "how to avoid telling the truth". We are lied to daily, by almost everyone that has media outreach, from broadcasters to politicians to advertisements to government officials to business leaders.
The fact that most Americans still "trust" anyone at this point is a testament that lying still works. AND If you say it convincingly enough (wagging finger... "I did not have sexual relations, with that woman, Ms Lewinsky") it actually works!
The best liars are the ones that you thank after they've lied to you. "Thank you sir, may I have another?"
I was gonna post exactly this. Download used to be usable (a very long time ago). Now when I end up there looking for software I simply say "No. NO! HELL NO!" and leave. But hey, they all have to pay the bills and what better way than to install crapware that is nothing short of evil?
Triple Play = How to charge people $49.95 a month for low volume "VOICE" service, padding the profit margins. We cut everything but INTERNET. Comcast will be internet only here shortly, or it will die trying to stay the same as it is now.
The days of BROADCAST is over. That is the current model that is dying. The Cable Companies already know this (NetFlix duh), they are just trying to slow down their death.
As speed of the Internet increases, it further eliminates the need for broadcasting anything. It used to be, congestion was at the consumer end (Dialup days), and th back haul could over subscribe. Now, the congestion is at the junction points between Tier 1 and Tier 2 peers. Comcast vs Netflix was just the first of many such collisions.
In the end, you'll have cable or fiber, and pick the content/services you need/want at prices you're willing to pay, delivered exactly when you want.
I'll go one step further. Forget video except as a link to the YouTube source of the transcript. I don't need my screen filled with ugly people trying to be "relevant". I don't need a big part of my browser occupied by a video that I really don't want to watch. I really don't.
