[QUOTE="Pstmstr, post: 3237082, member: 51164"] I don’t have a chip on my shoulder but I, like many, think that colleges and local public schools have too many highly paid Professors and Administrators in positions that could be and should be consolidated. I also think it’s stupid to loan thousands of dollars, sometimes hundreds of thousands, to kids that have no clue what they want to be when they grow up. When and if they do graduate they have huge loans to repay and in many cases, the education they received is worth no where near the cost they paid. I’m sure there are a lot of hard working people in these schools as well and a lot of students that apply themselves in classes that will enable them to get a good job when they graduate. The system is in dire need of revamping. Whether that will ever happen or not remains to be seen. I don’t have the apparent vast knowledge of the system you claim to have acquired. I went to 1 semester at UCO back in the day where I majored in cutting my English class to go play golf. I joined USMC after that semester, served 4 years, then worked at USPS for 35 years where I worked my way up from carrier to District Operations Manager. I did take several college classes along the way which required me to attend class and write a paper once in a while. I supervised a lot of college graduates over the years that decided the pay and benefits beat what they could get with their degrees. I’m retired now with a pension of just under 3 figures that will last until I die. I spend most of my time playing golf and voicing my opinion on some forums, Twitter etc. I had you on my ignored list but you bring up some good points. I’m sure glad we have you to enlighten us. Just curious, what do you do for a living now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro [/QUOTE]
