Searching for colleges for my son...

[B_B_C]

By utilitarian and functional criteria  Higher and further education is just just an extra option
It is possible to be the most educated fool in the neighbourhood.
It gives choices though oddly enough many people seem to let them selves be restricted by thinking and acting as though the chosen study area is the only  area they can work in where as if you train to be a dentist you can still be a labourer or a burger flipper when wallets and jaws clam up.

Coach,

Taylor (TBombz) was mentioning a very good university not too long ago that offers online courses and allows for students to finish at their own pace.  TBombz will be attending that university this coming semester, if I'm not mistaken.

He didn't go into specifics regarding tuition costs, but he did stress that it was accredited by the same bodies which provide accreditation for some of the best institutions in the country.

Ever consider enrolling your son in that university?

If he is gonna play football, he better play in the SEC which is the only conference where real football is played.  I don't know what the fuck those other pussy conferences like the Big 12 or Little 10 does, but they're a joke. 

[Coach is Back!]

Dude, don't take it personal.

It is just a joke about you regretting not finishing college.

It was supposed to be an homage to when Homer Simpson is talking about college and Bart says:  "Clown College?"

D'oh!!!!

Man, that went right over my head. I haven't seen the Simpson's in years.

You won't be saying that after SC wins the National Title next year

If high education equals money how come the professors with all their degrees and knowledge are not the richest men on the planet.

And who said just because someone has a degree automatically make them rich? What kind of reasoning is that?

The reasoning of someone who does not enjoy the benefits of a classical education.

    "Coach's son, the first mentally handicapped Harvard College undergraduate student, after the government ruled that it is unfair that the mentally handicapped cannot attend Ivy League universities and set quotas for them. Coach's son, seen here in this picture, was the first recipient of this priviledge and made history."

If after being led to the trough of knowledge and the pupil drinks,...he will be in a better position to prosper.

though coach and his son certainly care more about a good social experience and access to a D1 training facility more than they care about cost of tuition, quality of education, and speed of completion.  

cant blame them though. i would have went to a university as such if i wasnt such a fuck up in high school.

in response to the sarcastic tone of your comment that i can only assume is present.. i am friends with students and alumni from several top state colleges and very prestigous private universities. looking through their course work I am astonished at how easy it is. The classes i was taking at my junior college were just as demanding and rigorous as those found at the expensive and "prestigious" colleges that have very competitive entrance.  that being said, the quality of educators at those schools does seem to be higher. and for alot of people being led by the hand through the learning process is a necessity.. so one wouldnt learn nearly as much at a junior college or online university without one on one guidance from a good teacher along the way.. meaning they would be better off at such a university.   but for those who do not need authority directing them in order to thrive, quality education can be found elsewhere.

Bombz, what are your expectations for a starting salary out of college for yourself?

[tbombz]

dont know

going to get an MBA through wgu

i might use that to transfer and get another MBA through a better known college

people who graduate from ivey league schools with an MBA usually start out at about 100k and gain expect to earn AT LEAST 200-300k within 10-15 years.

but with an MBA from wgu id probably have to start at somethign like 50-60k and work my way up from there.

but 4-5k per month is more than enough to make me happy so long as im in a contemplative(white collar) rather than an active(blue collar) position.

At least your expectations are higher than SMM's.

He's still a freshman so no hurry, just looking to budget. But as of now he's a 3.8.

A little late on the budgeting there.
