OT America hits peak anti-intellectualism: Majority of Republicans now think college is bad

Some masters are a real waste of money. You can get a general MBA at mt hood community college through eastern oregon university for like 20k.

I have thought about doing it but i'll never see that money come back. CPA is more valuable in accounting imo.

 

His degree is sports physical therapy and science....it's about 200k to get the advanced degree on top of living expenses ...

 

Yeah dude...... the house was a way better investment. If he really wants to go back and get it some day, at least have him find an employer who will help pay some of it.

 

I had my best jobs in the teaching profession by creating a complete syllabus program and having a high student return rate...if you actually have a program that works, you have little competition because many teachers out there are lazy and mail in the generic programs....the degrees don't really matter, it's what you do with the knowledge...I taught 3 courses at a medical college for 6 years and it was my program that got the job...the return rate secured it.

 

Rent is a serious waste of young income

 

Indeed. Bought my first house as a foreclosure with a buddy. We fixed it up lived in it and rented our 2 other bedrooms to buddies so we didnt have to pay any of the mortgage.

 

I have such a mixed opinion on University vs. Community College. Did well here and there, but I had to work the entire time. If anything, the price of an undergrad degree is unreasonable if you have to pay your own way. I was lucky to have the help I did.

 

My son got an academic scholarship to OSU or he'd have gone to LCC for sure....we helped with rent and books and groceries but he worked nights too....it's not easy for young folks to take four years straight off and go to school full time....I got mine from military service mostly
