Huh? Lots of people go to school for just that. To make more money. To retire early. etc etc
Unless this is a semantics thing, where I would just say that no one does anything for purely monetary reasons. The money gives them the ability to do other things, whether it's to go on vacations, buy expensive things, have a better life after 50-55 etc

How the hell are you supposed to pay those fat ass student loan bills you have no problem with if you don't have a good job?Originally Posted by Fe 26
Learning for learning's sake is great, I love doing it, but there comes a time when food has to be put on the table. You're still in school, correct? You'll see soon enough.
That is all fine and good but that still doesn't mean that college should be treated as a competition just because you compete for jobs when you graduate.

How can you say this, when the best students get the best jobs? There's a direct correlation here.
If this is your perspective, then at what point is the playing field equal? At what point do people prepare for the competition? If it isn't college, then were?
1. My bigotry over typing English trumps most others.
2. Affirmative action is discrimination. Disliking it could not be any further from bigotry.
When there are limited resources, how the fuck do you decide who gets them if there is no competition? A fucking lottery? That's a good way to take our society further down the shit hole.
It is only discrimination to those that have their own heads so far up their own ass that they do not realize that some people have been set back by the actions of our ancestors and our government.
We as a culture, as a nation, and a country full of people, have destroyed people's lives. Not the lives of people that live in far away places. But the lives of people that live among us.
Affirmative action is admitting this has happened and saying "you know what, I'm sorry that your grandpa got dicked over. Lets make one or two things easier for you so maybe things will even out a little."
BTW, get over it. If you can't get a good job because poor black guys are getting everything you apply for, maybe you need to go back to school.
That all sounded great thirty years ago. Exactly how long to we have to pretend that two wrongs make a right?
It's never going to affect me personally, but that doesn't mean it isn't bullshit.
Where? What state is turning away good students because resources are so limited?
