sometimes you can be a real idiot Joe…..
Wow this takes me back! I am a 40 something from the UK, and I lived in the USA 15 years ago. This was due to meeting an ex ex… in Australasia, and subsequently I became a US resident. I had been working in low paid Design jobs for 5 years after graduating in the early 2000's. I went for an interview in New York for a design job at an agency. I was cut down like an old oak tree, big time reality check. They said smugly, ''Your university ripped you off buddy.'' Remember, this was the tri -state, I said, ''how much was your university loans out of curiosity'' (out of state they had come from). They replied, ''130,000 dollars from Sally Mae'' – APR (9.3%). I'll never forget what I said next/finally and how proud I was. ''My University was local to my home in north England – it cost me 20,000 bucks (GB Pound equivalent). I chose there because even at 19 years old, I was perceptive enough to know that most of my career will be self teaching – I just need that BA Hons certificate done. I will pay mine off by age 35, you won't pay yours off till 50 minimum'' – (I paid all mine off at 36). Their face was an absolute picture. Nothing I said was incorrect – I achieved the BA Hons, however, 20 plus years of my career has been self taught – from a Junior Graphic/Digital Designer to a Lead Product Designer/Researcher earning 100,000 plus for many years now. Morale to the story, be perceptive, be more like Seb … kidding. real talk – always do instate Uni as cheap as possible to acquire the certification, the rest you learn on the job and save tens of thousands. Mwah.
Small conversation. Items missing. Penn is interesting with a lot of ideas, but it was restricted.
Kids in public schools these days can retake tests up to THREE TIMES if they fail them. These are the SAME TESTS so all they have to do is memorize the answers and retake until they get a passing grade. The only schools that take the grade you give are private schools now using university models because life ISN'T A TRIPLE REDO UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT! Kids are they paying to go to college not knowing how to study or be held accountable for their grades and want professors to give them a break so we have adults graduating with a degree, no work experience and no concept of ownership of their own work.
I'm 54 & a disabled veteran & STILL had student loans & just couldn't get them paid. I am indebted to Mr. trump. 🙏 Also Our youngest son is going to Curry College in Milton Mass. $68,000 a year. I'm a veteran so we're able to get education assistance from the VA and that's $1200 a month, then financial aid, Pell grants, he has a scholarship but after everything's applied we still have a large payment every month of at least $1,000. We've done our very best to make sure his student loans did not get out of control and we're trying to keep it below $50,000 so he's not stuck for the rest of his life trying to pay them off. Thank goodness he's a senior.
