"Nor should any President deploy armed #drones over U.S. soil"

woops wrong thread

no I think this is the right thread

the war on millennials begins

feel like new jersey and rhode island are getting particularly ripped off there

I'd be interestd in the salary amounts for those top posts.

well, here are the coaches:
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/salaries/

and executive compensation:
http://chronicle.com/article/Executive-Compensation-at/139093/#id=table

Both pages have tabs for different categories.

I haven't found a listing of deans.

amazing that the vanderbilt a.d. makes $3.2m

Amazing that the Fresno State coach makes $650,000. It's fucking Fresno!

the entire fresno economy is based on him spending his salary

Fresno State is a pretty big program fwiw, despite Fresno's shitholeness.

coach from middle tennessee state makes just as much and I've never even heard of that school

located in beautiful murfreesboro tennessee

i'm told that the vanderbilt ad is also the vice chancellor, so i guess that makes a little more sense

point of the map is that we should all aspire to be coaches on the college level.

where is the fucking reality show for that?

lol Nevada

markers have you thought about going for a master's

when we meet irl, ask me again

the short answer is yes

From 2000 to 2012, the annual production of master’s degrees jumped 63 percent, federal data show, growing 18 percentage points more than the output of bachelor’s degrees. It is a sign of a quiet but profound transformation underway at many prominent universities, which are pouring more energy into job training than ever before.

interesting way to put it

GWU awarded about 3,900 master’s degrees in 2012, ranking 18th in the nation. Hopkins, with about 4,800, ranked ninth. Among others in the top 20 were New York (2nd), Columbia (3rd) and Harvard (15th) universities. The online unit of the for-profit University of Phoenix, which awarded about 18,600, ranked first.

there are people w/ uop degrees who do have jobs, it probably gets you disqualified from 'serious jobs' with serious HR people but a lot of times a college degree is just a checkbox someone needs to have checked and the skeezy programs fill that role.

i have a pdf i can send of the article if you can't otherwise access it xp

it appears 2b unlocked

i think this'll do the trick, thx mordy

Good article. Page 7 seems OTM to me, not that I actually have any experience with European countries that follow the model described.

thanks for the link to that article, good reading. i found it profoundly sad.

“College is the primary way in which people achieve ‘upward social mobility,’” Dr. Price read from the text. “Receiving a college degree helps ‘level the playing field’ for everyone. A college degree can minimize or eliminate differences due to background, race, ethnicity, family income level, national origin, immigration status, family lineage, and personal connections.

man somebody reading that at people in a u o p class is just so ...

Thank christ, imo. Though the chorus of people (at least in my industry) lamenting how we'll never get to work a 16 hour day for no pay again (which, of course we fucking will) is pretty nauseating.
