Imo, one solution would be for high schools to encourage students to work for 3 years doing unskilled labor until they make enough money to pay for 3 years of college. Then for the 4th year they can get a part time job in their field and maybe extend their degree one more year. In the end they will be entering the professional workforce a few years later, but that isn't so bad and may help them mature.
Yes, that works. (I can start using this more). As a suggestion maybe you should add the writing direction to the top options. I would not have thought to check the right click menu for anything other than cut/copy/paste, spell check and other less important things.
Any intentions on adding support for right to left languages? This is the only reason why I have a Windows 7 virtual machine with Office 13 installed. I am looking for alternatives.
I've been a bit busy but here it is. (BTW: is there a way to get HN to notify you when someone comments?) I will be talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8pjd1QEA0c Student Debt.
1:11 Student debt is bad because they will sue you in court. :
Well of course they will. Its not like they can take away your car if you stop paying your debt.
3:30 Why did student loans increase so much? States slashed funding for higher institutions causing colleges to increase tuition. :
Or maybe because more people are eligible for student loans. Having the government back student loans is linked to the increase in tuition according to this: https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/media/research/staff...
5:16 Students at for profit schools account for 31% of student loans having just 13% of the students. :
Does anyone expect a private company meant for people with few options to be cheeper than ivy league schools that offer on average $40,000 of aid per student? I don't have sources but I would imagine that the 13% most expensive car sales would account for around 31% of car sales.
9:00 Looks at one specific program at itt and says that it has an 8% employment rate and 25% didn't graduate:
There is / was (I don't know if it is over yet) a lawsuit against itt and the plaintiff claims that the employment rate was around 50% http://www.ajc.com/news/education/lawsuit-claims-itt-tech-ex... . Also, what do you expect from a college that excepts anyone who can pay? If they graduated everyone than their credibility would be worse than it already is. Any place that accepts anyone will have a low success rate (eg. Hollywood and start ups)
And the most annoying point about his videos is that he doesn't propose a solution. It feels like making a video about how chemo is so bad and painful but then doesn't mention any alternative. In this analogy John Oliver would like to ban or severely limit chemo.
What's so bad about this is it I'm using someone else's computer in a different country I can rarely stay on the English version. For example, in incognito, even after changing to the English Google, if I go to any other Google site (ex. trends) not only do I get the local language version, but on mobile there is no way to change the language.
Based on other comments in HN it appears that a large amount of key documents have been "lost". I've never checked the source, but many threads about the files mention that.
I like it that no matter where I live I can wake up at 6, stores open by 9, and lunch is at 12. Imagine every time traveling having to ask the locals what time things happen. Also, I don't think any politician will allow their state to be the state that doesn't have the same time as other countries in the same longitude
I don't remember any off hand but later I will rewatch an episode and list the problems. In the meantime you could search YouTube for "John Oliver rebuttal"
Thank you for the response. I was unaware of the firewall concept. That does make what Sinclair is doing hypocritical, assuming that they claim to have a firewall (which the media should strive for).
Sinclair owns those companies. How is that any different than, let's say cnn, telling it's reporters what they can report on? I think it's bad that 6 corporations own 90% of the media, but until this changes don't expect the owners of those corporations to not inject their (left or right) bias to those stations.
What is "Russian operatives"? When John Oliver says something against the current US president is that equivalent to saying that an "English operative" is "aimed at fostering division in United States"?
I don't mind that do much. What does really bother me is when I am on vacation and using incognito or another computer and all Google sites redirect me to the other countries one. Most of the time the only way to change to English is by logging in. Their capchas are even in the local language, making it really difficult for me to do what they want.
Some vacation companies advertise that people should take loans to go on vacation. Should they be held accountable when it turns out that adding that you went on a cruise to your resume is just as useful as adding that you got a useless degree? In fact some colleges advertise their college as you would advertise a vacation. They use terms like "college experience".
Seeing as Hillary calls half of all the Trump voters as alt-right, and half of the voters voted for Trump, that would make 1/4 of all the voters alt-right. I guess we can now divide the American voters into 4 equal sections. Alt-left, left, right and alt-right.
Just remember, advertisers and politician use words like alt, nano, micro, easy payments, etc. in ways that you may no be used to using them.
How could Steer Roast be cancelled? Based on my understanding of the article, Steer Roast is a 3 day party. Can't the students (18+ adults) just rent a campground nearby and have it there?
That's very generous of you. When my parents got married, my grandparents paid for their honeymoon. Had the resort where they were staying reported to their parents what they did there, they would have been outraged. Would something like this also be accepted in America?
