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 - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
