norwegianlolz (09/22/2015) [-] Only an American could have said those words
It's the Americans that are getting ****** for life,
You either go and be a student to get a good job, but then you have to pay for a loan for like 30 years.
Or you can skip it and get a bad job and just have less money for the rest of your life.
Either way, you are gonna be poor as ****

norwegianlolz (09/22/2015) [-] So free education = everything for free?
They are getting free education so they who want, and are smart enough, can get a really well paying job.
Why is it better to having kids take out a ******* of loans to pay for their own education?

thekieran ONLINE (09/22/2015) [-] Dude, I go to UCF in Florida. I work two part time jobs and am paying for my tuition outright for a film degree.
My dormmate is doing the same thing for an engineering degree.
Does it suck? Yes. Is it impossible? No.
Free education is something that could probably help a lot of people, but here in the states it'll end up that the state universities and the community colleges are looked upon differently in the hiring process (I mean, they already are, but it'll be the difference between a school in the downtown area, and a school in the styx.)
The big colleges will still offer paid, better programs, while the free colleges will offer inferior programs because the professors are being paid like **** . (because in the states we don't pay teachers very well for some reason.)
As it stands you can work two jobs and pay for tuition in the monthly fee program they all have. If I went to a community college I could probably pay for three people's tuition.
My whole point is; you don't have to take out a loan. I was suggesting a third option to your list above. You can take out a loan, get a **** job, or invent something that people want to buy.
The entitlement comes from living in a house where they are given everything, to living in a school where they are given everything, to living in the real world where they have to fight for their own. It's a cultureshock to a lot of people and spawns ridiculous movements like #occupywallstreet.

thekieran ONLINE (09/22/2015) [-] I literally just said my engineering major roommate does the same thing.
Further, I'm not saying I have to to as much work, but I do a substantial bit more field work studying film that an engineering major. I have to go out and shoot a skit every couple days. (so freaking time consuming) and I still find time to get to work, go to class, and do my school work.

norwegianlolz (09/22/2015) [-] I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm sayin it exist better ways.
By having education free, students could focus more on school and there own private lives, rather than using most of their free time working.
And It's not everywhere you can get a job either, it's less and less work to go around these days (leaving you with having to take the loan, unless your parents are rich)
Sure we have those expensive private schools too, but they are not guaranteed to be better.

I got all A and B's in High school. That meant that immediately I got a scholarship if i decided to go to university within my state- I did. All of my tuition was paid for (except for 1000 dollars +room/board+text books+ school supplies)
Then I also worked as a RA. (I worked for the school during the summer so they allow me to work as a freshman during the school year.)
This meant addition to the scholarship I got my own free dorm room and 600$ towards food for each semester. (You also get paid on top of that 8 dollars an hour.)
Then I also looked for several scholarship online. I applied to some writing ones from private donators. (There are some scholarships for all things. There are even some for tall people. seriously.)
studentaid.ed.gov/sa/types/grants-scholarships/finding-scholarships
I got a handful of small scholarships but it paid for my books and smaller school supplies.
I then wrote those places i got my scholarship from and thanked them in detail for the money they gave me. They gave me more because i wrote them such a nice letter. again. seriously. I used it to help purchase my new computer for school.
So, basically, everything was paid for except my 1000 a year tuition cost. (I used the money i earned from being an RA for more food and stuff. and again. if you write thank you notes- my family and friend's family sent me gift boxes all the time)
My parents paid half of the tuition cost (500) and I used my old saving form my swim teaching jobs to pay for the other half. (and during the next summers I was a waiter at a fancy place. Made 150 on the good nights)
So. You can do it. and you dont have to kill yourself.

That's pretty motivating, it really is. However, you said most of your college was paid from scholarships you earned back in high school. Thing is, what if someone who did badly in high school, but later in life wants to go to college? What if they just had a ****** home life during high school, and/or end up supporting themselves before they're even 20? Chances are they already have to work full time just to pay rent/food.
In this scenario, is it likely, even possible, for them to get a scholarship to cover so much of it? Yes a bunch of small scholarships exist but they are usually $500-1,000 each here, while the cheapest in state school is $10,000/year in tuition alone.
Also there's only a certain number of scholarships a school will give out, correct? Since at the end of a day schools are still businesses, and want to maximize profits.

People are giving you **** but you're right
But your overall social skill takes a lacking while attending private school
Private school:
Kids with parents who barely want to be a part of their life
Kid is more clever than those on regular schools
Lower cognitive abilities
Community School:
Kids have a higher cognitive ability
They aren't as clever as their peers from the private school
Parents seem to interact a lot more with the school/kids

I don't get what's the deal with my degree either.
I don't do a single thing, despite the homework I have to do to pass, and sometimes attend lectures, and end up passing with high grades.

epicalania ONLINE (09/22/2015) [-] If you could find a way to check your answer, you could theoretically.

It's usually harder to make an error check than it is to solve it normally

anon (09/22/2015) [-]
That is the exact opposite of true. Problems are always at least as easy to check as they are to solve. It's a core concept of advanced mathematics. The idea that a problem being easy to check also makes it easy to solve is actually one of those million dollar problems. We are pretty sure that it is not true, that a problem can be easily checkable but nearly impossible to actually solve. However, we have so far been unable to prove it.

carnivalistic (09/21/2015) [-] It sounds possible, but wouldn't it be much easier to do it normally? Trying to program a trial and error type program seems like you'd have to know the answer in the first place, and a bunch of those unsolved math problems have multiple answers (albeit wrong)
#25 to #24
-
carnivalistic (09/22/2015) [-] The sender in this scenario, I presume would be the person who created the trail and error program, so they'd have to be at least somewhat versed on maths as a whole.
Though, if you think about a longitudinal trail, then it may be somewhat probable? As in, you could try and make it so that the program would learn how to answer questions that already have an answer, or have a presumably large amount of math information as a source for the program to work with, it might be possible for it to cross-check?
Even still, I can't imagine that it would have a sole answer, but rather a list of concordant answers.

stifflimb (09/22/2015) [-] My galaxy s3 has a function where 3-4 min before the regular is going of it starts with some low slow music that slowly rises in volume, pretty much easing you to waking up, not perfect, but it helps.
Also try placing the phone a distance from you, if you have to move to get it you'll likely be wake for it.
