    BS. Trade skills are just as valuable. Esp. if you're going to "educate" anyone with ________ studies.

    Pretty much this. The quality of college education has dropped dramatically. Ensuring students getting a diploma (ie: staying in school to build up their studen loan debt) is more important than a quality education. Teachers (I can't call them professors) are handing out prewritten notes and allowing open book tests in core classes.

    At one time, going to community college was a great entry level way of getting a degree. Now one needs to get into top schools to get a good college education.

    That's a really broad accusation. I would say that the same paradigm of "if you choose a non technical major(engineering or other STEM majors) you better tread carefully" has always existed.

    You don't need to get into a top school if you choose the right field of study. A humanities degree from U of H has always been a degree that would be difficult to find a career that pertains to your field of study. That hasn't changed. Chemical engineering degree with a 3.3 GPA or higher? You ARE going to find a job that pertains to chemical engineering.

    To summarize: I would rather have a engineering degree from UofH than a humanities degree from my current school I attend even though my current school is more selective and ranked much higher. What your field of study is matters more than what school you attend to a certain extent. Ya, I would rather have a political science degree from Harvard than a engineering degree from UofH but that's a VERY high level of parity between schools.

    Here is a study that reaffirms my sentiments: http://www.the-american-interest.co...tem-it-doesnt-matter-where-you-go-to-college/

    School selectivity doesn't matter much with engineering degrees when it comes to employment and starting salary. You get a decent gpa graduating in engineering field and have one solid internship under your belt, you are going to get a job pertaining to your field of study.

    Cool story. There's the electoral college.... Where Trump will have an uphill battle. Not to mention independent voters are voting for Johnson over Stein, so that's more potential votes being lost by Republcians.

    Trump just said some undocumented immigrants will be allowed to stay if he's president.

    Matt Lauer is such a hack. Why do they have Hillary's best friend asking the questions?

    Only if they want to join the military, though. Mexican mercinaries FTW!

    Neither he nor his supporters can see how unqualified and ill equipped for the job he remains. He lacks such self-awareness and intellect that he he doesn't know what he doesn't know.

    SAD

    Evolution is a slow process sir. Just because the iPhone 7 came out today doesn't mean that the world is pristine. ;)

    He flat out lied at that Commander n Chief forum on NBC. No one would have told him what recommendations the President would have gotten. They guy is a FOOL.
