    You can do that in under 60 hours at community college. There's no way that's a core skill of being a business major at a 4-year university.

    Student Loans and the SAVE plan

    Performing arts programs are extremely expensive per-student due to the fixed costs and relatively low enrollment rates. But the flipside is that those facilities are generally used for other things that improve student life in general. But social sciences, communications, and similar degrees...

    Student Loans and the SAVE plan

    Again, it's old data from 2009. Ethnic, Cultural and Gender Studies professors are probably a lot more common, and therefore a lot cheaper, now. But top programming professors have gotten INSANELY expensive. There are a few colleges paying top ML professors over million a year, because they...

    Student Loans and the SAVE plan

    Not exactly current data, but the easiest graph to digest. Engineering and computer science have grown considerably more expensive since this was compiled, due to having to keep salaries competitive with extremely high demand in the private sector: TL;DR, programming teachers expensive...

    Student Loans and the SAVE plan

    Business students should be forced to work in an actual business fulltime for at least 3 years before going to business school. :) You'd get a lot less dumb ideas entering business, from either side. Plus, most of the real lessons of business school are likely lost on kids who haven't ever...

    Student Loans and the SAVE plan

    I'm just saying "if you do go to college, you should do it X way" I agree that way less people should go directly to a 4-year college today. In the current economy, more kids should get a job, move the fuck out, go to community college to learn the shit that high school failed to teach them...

    100% proponent of most kids going to community college first. I'd say for 75% of college students, community college + work experience is way better than what you're going to get out of going directly to college. But the very high performers in high school who know exactly what they want to do...

    Student Loans and the SAVE plan

    Evidence shows college students living with their parents perform the worst and have the highest drop-out rates. This is counterintuitive but supported by tons of evidence. If you're not living on or near campus, you're missing out massively on many of the benefits of college. That said...

    The flipside is that all those shitty degrees heavily subsidize the extremely expensive STEM programs. But the government could easily just subsidize them more directly. That said, everyone that says "the waste of time general education" is usually an idiot. Almost all of those are general...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    I'm level 19 with 19 hours in, and playing extremely unoptimal/wandering. I'm sure it's possible to hit 25 in under 20 hours played, but it's definitely not possible in "an evening" aka 6 hours. That's all I'm saying.

    Except you don't have to pay Social Security taxes on that money so you're already way better off than the people <150k. Your argument would only make sense if there was no SS cap. Anyway, not really the thread for this. @Blazin

    I think "Middle Class" means having churn roughly equal to burn. Living comfortably but still just treading slightly above paycheck to paycheck. Carrying only modest debts. "Upper Middle Class" would be the same as above, but after contributing near the maximum to their retirement with no...
