All the more reason for the lower class scum to aspire to do something with their lives instead of feasting off of the taxes paid by the people who actually cared enough to PAY FOR THEIR OWN SCHOOLING and get a degree to better themselves. It is far too easy for these people to get student loans for schooling, full student loans. There is no excuse. I've had people tell me, "I didint getted duh oppuhtoonitee you gots!" That is complete Horse Dung as I've stated it's alot easier for one of them to get a loan than me! I worked through school to pay for it and it was tough. I didn't give up and blame "the man" for not giving me free breakfast after the free bus ride to school which is provided free through highschool. It all goes back to the individuals wanting to better their peeps, which in my experience (take the scum from N.O. after Katrina for instance) they don't give a crap about. They just want to suckle off the teet of the american tax payer and get a free ride. I was a Teamster throughout college (because that was the only way to work in the moving business) but I hated every minuted of it. It HAD it's place in the making of the equal opportunity laws that are in place now, they aren't worth a crap to society anymore. The people who support unions are the same scum that suckle the teet. |

1 edit | my field of study is computer science YOU try keeping up with out a PC and net
also i dont own a TV or any game systems this PC came from my tax refunds
and i DONT take handouts i could get food stamps if i wanted but i dont
what do you think i should do live in the dark with no contact with the out side world
i dont like people i dont go out i dont like movies
i use my PC to teach my self things about PCs
i have the qualifications for much better work but were i live there isnt much
and the stupid personalty tests that bestbuy and other big chains use are bullshit
i know more then most people with a BS in CompSci
i just dont have the nice piece of paper
and i pay more a month for gas then i do for my net which isnt that much like 40 bucks a month my roommate pays for the TV side of the bill since i never watch much and they dont use the net much
but if you want give me a nice real job ill take it
i dont thing you have any right to say any thing sure maybe you worked your way though school but when was that 1970? 1980? things were a lot cheaper then and cost of living was lower
look what happened here when min wage whent up every one raised prices so much for that
lets say i didnt even have net
ok that gives me 40 bucks more a month school here for my track would run me at lest 400 bucks in books another 200 for lab time and then classes alone would be 500 a semester
i make maybe 1000 a month (FUCK YOU crappy job)
my rent is 400 a month + power water and food
and i would need net any way to do school work and im not sure about you but good luck with tele-courses on dial up
so yea school cost a lot and thats not counting gas and car insurance gas here for the cheap stuff is 2.60/gal as of yesterday
and befor you say work more hours lets SAY i could even have time for school + work 40 hours a week
they wont give me more then 30 that would make me full time and they cant have that OH NO cant let them have benefits of working full time that would cost to much were i work the only ones working full time are managers and there was one guy that got promoted thinking he would make more so he could go to school guess what
he had to stop going to school becouse of his work shifts how AWESOME IS THAT! |

3 edits | elios, keisur is a simpleton that probably hasn't work for a thing in his life. People like him have been handed everything and have never experienced true hardship. You owe that piece of shit nothing, let alone an explanation. One can only hope that he suffers some extreme calamity that puts him into a position that requires he live the life that he criticizes.
BTW, gotta love his racist attempt at "ghetto" talk as well.... "peeps"... what are you implying by this comment Keisur? I believe the image of you sitting in front of your computer with your white hood on isn't a stretch. |

LOL, You don't seem to realize that at your income level you would be able to get about every grant there is (which would cover room/board/books). You don't have to pay grants back. Then you'd only need a small portion of the actual repayable student loan to suppliment. A student loan is what I was talking about. take some initiative if life is such crap for you, hell, with the experience and knowledge you claim to have in IT, I could get you a job at my company making 80k+/year, no papers needed. |

Keiser is oblivious to the fact that grants are not handed out like water. Grants are competitive since they do not have to be paid back. In the real world, not keiser's fantasy one, many people compete for that one source of money. Your odds of getting even a little chunk of it are pretty slim. Hence, most people are left to borrow and be in debt. Your average college grad probably leaves with 60-100,000 for four years of study. That's a nice long while of paying + interest to 0 it out. Hell, they wanted 7.5 percent on my student loan of 11-12,000. That would have turned it in to 20 grand if I followed their scale. Imagine what those above figures would be? Hence, keseir, unions are needed to ensure your hard work DOES PAY OFF. How would you like to study for 4-6 years, and be offered jobs that paid like crap? You might respond, well then you look for others. Easier said than done of course, with a lackluster job market and the promise that most jobs in a profession pay pretty standard. Hence, without those unions, you could give the guarantee of a decent wage goodbye since most jobs have the upper hand. Work for us and take what you get, or find something better. We'll fill this slot either way. That is the mentality of the world today, and unions (while imperfect) at least tone down this mentality. |

1 edit | You have to try at least, which obviously you don't have the ambition to do. Secondly, I was able to secure a Pell Grant all four years of my schooling even though my parents claimed me on there taxes and made decent salaries, they just wouldn't pay for college. What jc100 is oblivious to is that there are different kinds of grants, ones that are close to impossible to obtain and ones that are given to the ones that need them. in this guys case, making only $250/week or whatever it was would not have a problem at all getting some of these grants. like I said, which lazy people such as yourself cannot seem to grasp onto, is that it takes some work and ambition but it IS doable if the person actually wants it and doesn't want to ride on the coat tails of the tax payers. |
