So, a state school then huh?
I’m finding it increasingly incredible that Trubie hasn’t been Pitted yet. Though, at the rate he/she keeps going, I have a feeling it’s not too far off.
Is this a request? Lazy.
I’m sorry, Trubie. I read this three times, and it’s just flat-out incoherent. Would you mind putting that “real” college education of yours to work and writing understandably?
What I said in my example was that I was taught by a full professor in a class of 30 in a community college, and my friend at Stanford was taught by a grad student in a class of 300. I got the better education in that case, regardless of the money. He got the prestige. That’s true. But it also loaded him with student loan debt and didn’t get him a better job.

Please remember that you’re in IMHO and not the Pit. Direct personal insults and name-calling are not allowed. Attack the argument, not the person who made it.

Presumably, you won’t be teaching English.
This explains so very much. Right after college you have a lot of your identity tied up in your schooling. Eventually you’ll realize it’s really not so important - it’s just a choice you make with your life, and it’s not intrinsically better than other choices.
Now, I do judge people who are seemingly entirely anti-education (and there are a few on this board who seem to think any investment into schooling is a total waste). But not everyone needs to, wants to, or can devote large parts of their time and finances to higher education.
And I say all this as someone who went to a very well respected 4-year university on a full tuition scholarship and is now back at school, at another major university, doing graduate work (also on a full tuition + living expenses scholarship).
I HAVE ANOTHER PREJUDICE
I am prejudiced against people who like Primer.
I missed this irrational prejudice. Traditional theater is all sorts of awesome but I would give at least one limb to see a Grotowski production at the Polish Laboratory Theater. Damn you, Time!
Ever think he likes it tossed in the ol’ shitcan?

You just don’t like what I have to say. So, you don’t answer when I respond. I SAID for the price you paid, because community college is dirt cheap, you would have gotten your money’s worth if they sat a monkey in front of you.
I also said, community college is cheap because they can’t ask for more. If they could charge more, i.e. if they were WORTH more, they could. I would ask you if you agree, but you’ll pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about. I suppose that junior college degree was in communications. Although, it seems like it was in passive agressiveness.
I saw a shitload of this in Florida. They don’t want to share the road with bicycles and one of these fuckers in a purple FORD Escort kept beeping at me because i wasn’t about to turn in front of oncoming traffic, led by a 30,000 pound trash truck that could crush me like a bug.
Or because they’re usually in locations with lower property taxes, little to no dormitories or residence halls, and smaller administration and overhead, they can charge less while reaping equitable profits compared to four year universities.
Economics wasn’t part of your curriculum, I take it.
You forgot to add they also don’t hire qualified professors. 
By your logic, the most expensive colleges would be the best. That’s not true though.
According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the most expensive schools in the US are:
Sarah Lawrence College……………..$57,384
Landmark College……………………..$56,500
Columbia U. School of Gen. Studies……$54,782
Wesleyan University…………………………$53,976
Columbia University…………………………$53,874
Johns Hopkins University…………………..$53,690
Georgetown University……………………..$53,591
New York University…………………………$53,589
Harvey Mudd College……………………….$53,588
Barnard College………………………………$53,496
Compare that to the top ranking US universities:
- Harvard
- Princeton
- Yale
- Columbia
- Standford, UPenn
- Cal Tech, MIT
- Dartmough, Duke
- UChicago
Not a request at all. Just an observation.
I’m prejudiced against people who jump to conclusions, with no evidence to support their allegations.
I’m prejudiced against people who are all talk. If you have a problem with me go ahead and make a thread about me there.
Can post their cost, too?
Wrong. Even if I were to accept your supposition that only a PhD is an acceptable teaching degree, then the community college I attended for PSEO still beats out my university. Every class I had at the CC was taught by a PhD while at my university, several of my classes are taught by people with MFAs. A terminal degree, true but not a doctorate.
This is the exception and not the rule. Most community colleges don’t require more than an MA and experience. Look at ads for positions in community colleges and look at the requirements.
You’re actually not worth the effort it would take to get riled up about you. All I said was that I’m surprised that you hadn’t been Pitted, not that I had the desire to see it done. I don’t have a dog in the fight, so to speak, about the educational bias you have
You’d figure someone who thinks as highly of themself as you seem to would have better reading comprehension skills.
I don’t know what this means.
