Posted by oldtanker on October 08, 2017 at 08:19:43 from (66.228.255.59):

Read an article this morning. People complaining about rules being rolled back concerning "for profit post secondary school". The rules would require these institutions to publish average student loan debt for each course offered, % of students who actually got employed in that field of study/training. Average pay in whatever field. Average time to complete, drop out rates and so on.

Now I understand that schools pump stuff into students from a young age telling them they can be whatever they want to be. That's a lie, a kid, who is 5'3" fully grown is never going to be a star basketball player. Nor is a kid with an average IQ going to be a rocket scientist. And they also tell kids to follow their dreams. Well if JR wants to be a rock star and can't play an instrument or sing? Or their dream is something there is no calling for in the job market? A woman mentioned in the article racked up 60K in student debt getting a masters degree in music, vocals.

IMO today, with everyone in the US having access to the internet, at home, local school, library or on their smart phone, they should be researching what they want. They should be responsible for finding out what kind of money they can expect to make in which ever career they are looking at. What their student debt is going to look like. Even if they can find a job in that field.

Guys if you have kids at home, grand kids, maybe you should talk to them. Get them thinking about what their prospects are. Make sure they know that a job makes a living. The money you make allows them to have a life!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
