Nothing is ever "ensured" you hav e to do the work to get that job yourself.

You got warheads stacked in the kitchen
You treat distraction like it's a religion
With a rattlesnake step in your rhythm
We do the best with the souls we've been given

but yeah, there's lots of financial aid available.  and there's lots of rich parents.  and there's always the education itself to consider :P

This is why I'm transferring home, and spending the cash on graduate school.

I want yer bod.

Going to a community college would be hella cheaper, and you don't need a big name school for your first two years, that's for sure. But I think you just miss out on so much as far as the non-education-related stuff goes. Just my two cents.

Because it DOES guarantee you a job. A good job, at that.

In this day and age, a college degree does not guarantee employment, especially GOOD employment.

I am around college students every day, some graduating, and a common worry amongst them is not being able to find work after spending thousands upon thousands of dollars on their degrees.

Or frightened (Eeek!), or mad (Rats!)

It does in Louisiana. Without a college degree, an undergrad degree, you're fucked, pretty much. That's why they're pushing more and more for students to go to college, rather than go straight into some pathetic little job.

I know not one graduate in the past four years who has been either worried about finding a job in their degree plan, nor who hasn't found a job. Every degree I've ever been in, or known someone in, guarantees job placement. Graduate school is pretty much null/unecessary these days. You can graduate uni, and go straight into a 40-50K job, within a few months of graduation.

A degree is great. Get it if you want it. Some people love school and love accomplishments. But don't be so blind to think that only a piece of paper will have people running to hire you - it won't. Sure, having a degree may make getting jobs easier, but it still takes effort and work to find a decent job.

So what you said is pretty much null and void.

So, your way is the way to follow, then? I could say the same for your statements: "I don't care if you do know a single person out of work with a college degree, because I don't. So what you said is pretty much null and void."

Sure, having a degree may make getting jobs easier, but it still takes effort and work to find a decent job.

Of course it takes effort, but with a college degree, you're going to find a job, almost damned fucking guaranteed. Without a college degree, you're pretty much fucked, and stuck working fast food the rest of your life.

But don't be so blind to think that only a piece of paper will have people running to hire you - it won't.

Actually, in my case, in my state, it does.
