I found that kinda funny today when I saw your post JAGS. The guy had 3 posts and joined in 2012.
I know I'm new on here but wtf? How do these people find this forum just for the free shit?
I am apparently mismanaging my life.......

All you need to do is follow on FB, etc. I get wanting to enter the contest. But more times than not, it's these same guys who talk shit elsewhere and later become trolls. I hope someone wins who actually gives a shit about this place.
Man that is the truth. With near 12 year old twins, I'd be the first to "want" free education. Only that I don't. I think higher education is not a right, but something earned. Be that through scholarship, grants, loans or the old fashioned....paying for it. Free college will turn all universities into overcrowded, half attended extensions of high school for jokesters.
Do something about the insane loan rates or the ability to get loans for students of parents that actually work hard themselves and make a living. That might be some shit I could support. I may regret this in about 6 years, but I work hard now so my kids can get a higher education and thus do the same one day for their family and kids.

Man, I hope that isn't the full case. I know JCs are still really tough right now (from my brother in law). Again, I "hope" upper division university courses are still meaningful.

As a current college student, I can tell you from experience, JC and university classes are pretty much the same quality these days, the teachers, or teachers aides is where the difference now lies. I have attended 2 universities and 2 junior colleges (for technical degrees unavailable at universities nearby, not because I'm a dummy that can't handle university classes) and I feel like I received much more attention from the JC teachers than I did the university teachers. One of the big dangers for students, when it comes to a successful university education, is that many of the teachers at the big and/or popular universities are there with their own agenda. A surprising amount of the teachers are there for research purposes, and happen to also be required to teach a class or 2 as part of their contracts. Those teachers typically couldn't give less of a shit about your success or failure in their classes, and many give half-assed presentations or seem like teaching the class is as painful for them as having teeth pulled out. Another issue I encountered at the 2 universities was that classes were being taught by teachers aides, and the assignments were being graded by teachers aides, while the actual teacher is never introduced to the class and is probably too busy with the aforementioned research projects. After spending many thousands of dollars in tuition, how awesome! :shakinghead:
Considering where my buddies that stuck with their university degrees are now, and how much they paid for their education, I feel my associates degree in product development and manufacturing from one of my local junior colleges will probably pan out about as well for me as their university degrees will for them, and for literally 1/5th the cost. Times have changed. My old man used to be the kind that insisted I go to a university, but when he saw what I was having to deal with, and that half of my classes weren't even being taught by a real teacher, he said forget it, if junior college is what you want, have at it. I took a chance, and so far I am loving the teachers at my current JC. They are highly intelligent and super helpful individuals. Also, they actually give a fuck if we succeed or not. Surprise surprise!

I would have to say that here it seems like Junior College is not close to the level of universities in California. It may be that it is because their are two prestigious universities around me, UCLA Cal and USC, but I am currently a community college student and the level of education is far below that of a university. There are so many people that tell me that when they transferred to a university it took them a while and was very hard to adjust to literally not being able to miss one day of studying or they would be behind. Probably 2/3 of the teachers I have had were horrible. I have had a few teachers that taught at JC on their freetime who were UCLA professors that were amazing. They were helpful and really wanted to prepare students to transfer. Thats just my experience

Well, that was just my experience with colleges and universities in Arizona and Colorado. :idontknow:
Something else to consider is that the California State university system is considered one of the top tier systems in the USA, at least for public state universities. California is a bit of an outlier compared to most other public state universities in the USA. My sister goes to Scripps in California and I know she is loving it and is doing well there, but its also a private liberal arts school with a small number of students compared to most universities. Isn't USC a private school? If so, that would help explain a bit about the quality of education and the teachers at the school. I'd also like to add, I did have a few teachers that were fantastic and did care, but many more did not, and I found it surprising.
