I really wish they wouldn't use the word conspiracy when the word stupidity would suffice.

So what else is new...the man should have said: "you study hard and parrot what the teachers want to hear and you get good grades..." It's always been that way; unfortunately nearly everywhere to even get a cheap PHD...Estimated projected costs for colleges will soon be 32,000 dollars a year, while in Europe, under a democratically elected free-enterprise/ socialist system that always form a viable coalition, college and university costs are free. Go figure.rolling on the floor laughing

My youngest son has just been informed his fee per year at Loughborough University will be £9000 plus books, food and accommodation, which is a further 2-3 thousand, and he is doing a fairly basic degree course to become a PE teacher.

£12000 is almost $20,000 usd Just crazy

My tuition is costing me $14,333 per year so far. I have applied for grants, scholarships and have 2 subsidized loans taken out just to give myself this gift.

No guarantees it will give me the job I want but damn sometimes, I actually learn some things....grin

Personally I love debt. You can't take it with you and they can't take it from you when you're gone so rack up those bills I say!!!


You don't even need an education for that. laugh
