What’s The Opposite Of Diversity?

1. Save yourself $200 k by visiting a public library.

   Read books in the evening, instead of watching YouTube or TikTok, and you can get a better education than four years of university.

   1. The College of Trades of Ontario doesn’t care about that. They want to see my trade school diploma to give me a license.

   2. oddly enough when l had a job interview for mainframe operator 1970 l mentioned l would ‘read up’ on the popular IT periodicals at the local library to ‘get a sense of’ what things were like.
      just one thing l added to show l had the proper attitude of learning the job.
      l got the call a month later.
      l had to sell a set of Cdn centennial coins with the $20 gold coin to afford a pair of dress pants.
      one of the 1st things l did was hit the coin shop and buy it back !!!

   3. I took a pass on post secondary education and was able to pass on those savings to my customers.
      I have many friends who had the standard Bb arts degree … in history or English or Psychology or even the oh so boring, Sociology …. My less educated, but skilled and/or entrepreneurial friends seemed smarter, happier and more likeable …. Just sayin’

2. Oh no. Anyway….

3. New Rules for Student Loans – Reforms Long Overdue in One Big Beautiful Bill.

   Starting July 1, 2026, federal borrowing limits for student loans will be reduced, particularly affecting graduate students, who will face new annual and lifetime caps. This change is part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) reforms aimed at reshaping student lending.

   Starting July 1, 2026, significant changes will be implemented in the federal student loan orogram

   Borrowing Limits
   The new federal borrowing limits will specifically impact graduate students, introducing annual and lifetime caps.

   Program Type Annual Limit Lifetime Limit
   Non-professional graduate programs $20,500 $100,000
   Professional degree programs (e.g., medicine, law) $50,000 $200,000
   Additionally, there will be an overall lifetime federal loan cap of $257,500, which includes both undergraduate and graduate borrowing.

   Repayment Options
   New repayment plans will also be introduced for loans disbursed after July 1, 2026:

   Standard Repayment Plan: Fixed monthly payments over 10 to 25 years.
   Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP): An income-driven plan where payments are set at 1% to 10% of adjusted gross income, with potential forgiveness after 30 years.

4. Borrowing $200K and blowing it on a four-year drinking spree is not a good investment—for you.

   It’s a great investment for enemies of the people in need of recruits for terror cells, though.

   1. you have hit upon something there DS. l have long, not necessarily strongly suspected, but that *possibly* when these budding marxists REALIZE all those late night cram sessions, 1,000s hours researching papers, 100s hours in boring lectures . . . . . . . . . a complete dead end.
      and theyre mad. mad at the lies and wasted life ahead of them. and as each generation does, they rebel. and where is the current popular ‘default’ rebellion?
      they remember covering marxism in class and remember how POPULAR it still is. ergo bandwagon time!!!
      they found their calling !!!! marxism, socialism, screw you mumsy wumsy and daddykins lm free now !!!!

5. The really sobering (but not surprising) part of this story is that these parents, who continue to piss away their savings on valueless parchments, are the same people who determine our election outcomes.

6. Obama caused this mess too. By making the Federal Government … the taxpayers in perpetuity … the BANK of record, the LENDER of record for student college loans. And according to Obama’s standards … the dumber and poorer you are … the more $$$ you will get from the taxpayer. The higher your ‘forever indebtedness’ will rise.

   Yes, this entire program is another layer of a generous welfare system that has been defrauded just as much as the Learing Centers at the other end of the government education gravy train.

   It’s all Obama’s fault.

   1. Obammy just added more shit to feed the microbes that were already in the petri dishes. US universities and colleges – like their copycat Canadian counterparts – have been churning out valueless degrees in pretend studies for thirty years.

7. some observations.
   my BSc computer science was actually of limited mkt value. the programming assignments? Pascal.
   NOT a easily marketable programming language.
   the one l did use for < 2years at 2 employers Paradox was vaguely similar so l got a running start.
   the other bachelor degree, my BA poli sci had utterly NO BEARING on my career, just personal interest.
   also it involved only 5 addition credits on top of the electives constituting by BSc. so it only took 2 more years.
   what lm saying is it was mounds of practical experience plus innate skills that got me jobs.
   AND l did not amass debt because most of the tuition was an employee benefit at my full time job.
   kcuf traditional post secondary ie unibershitty degrees.
   even STEM stuff aint no paved superhighway anymore

   1. If your CS degree had limited market value, your granting institution was subpar. The point of Pascal was not to provide you with a readily marketable skill (unless you went to university in the 1970s, when Pascal was absolutely commercially viable) but to teach you how to program.

8. “even STEM stuff aint no paved superhighway anymore”

   Kids are putting out -hundreds- of responses to get one engineering interview these days. Ten to twenty first interviews to get an actual job. It’s nuts. And that’s the kids with the Golden Ticket computer engineering degrees.

   1. That’s because they’re getting screwed over by the government who wants to replace them.

9. Kids today have to compete with scammers that have fake Jeet degrees and companies that use DEI hiring to diversify their work force. On top of that, you have woke biz that won’t hire white men. It really doesn’t help when you have a degree in Stupid Shit. I feel bad for white male kids trying to make it today. My son went into trades, has a nice job now. Most of the students in his class were Chinese (that was about 5 years ago) so that helped when he looked for a job, he knew what the hell he was talking about and able to converse in English. He occasionally interviews applicants, and just shakes his head at how fake some of the “newcomers” degree are and how little they actually know.
