How to Come up in a Recession #134: Sign up for Student Loans!


     Its amazing! I just got of the phone with my girl, who's a psychology major at a local community college, and she just starting talking to me about noticing how much more packed college classes are now opposed to 1 yr ago...which then led me to think about this older woman I work with who's 52, a single parent of one, and who's currently finishing up her bachelors program with UOP (University of Phoenix) and over hearing her one day talking about how from her bachelors program she's going to jump straight into a masters program and then dive right back in for her doctorate, to say the least, just to avoid paying back her student loans.

     Now at the time, my thought was "listen to this goofy ass ole lady and her washed up antics", and of coarse the fact that her daughter is almost 18 and the reality is beginning to set in that she wont be able to live off of her daughters child support anymore; none the less, I just began to witness how the cultural landscape of higher education right before my eyes was beginning to shift from excellence and professionalism in order to thrive in corporate america to a come up and supplemental income scheme. Essentially, people just staying in school just to use student loans to finance a way of living or people continuing education just to avoid the everyday realities of life - that's like staying employed w/ the cable company just to get free a cable (LOL).

President Obama announces the end to combat missions in Iraq


I know I'm a dollar short and a day late on this but I just had to post this even if only for the archives. Although a great deed has been done, inevitably it just means a redistribution of soldiers elsewhere. Many people may not know it but terrorism and extremism is popping up and taking form in many other 3rd world nations too due to corruption in politics and the ill-legitimacy of the people such as in the horn of Africa etc so trust me, these problems ain't going nowhere anytime soon.
