Ohhhh.

I did not realize you did the CC route. I thought you did four years of that back and fourth from Illinois to Madison. That makes a ton more sense.
Yeah, I've mentioned it in the past. It took me 7 years to graduate from Harper with the AS - all night school/weekends.

This is why I'm so big on the community college route. You can get everything you need there, and I was accepted to continue at NU, UM and UW.

But, you can also get a 2 year AAS in things like Manufacturing, welding, construction technology, etc. and make well above a living wage. And, no debt!!

I don't know why I forgot the CC part. 

So seven years of working to finish an AS, then two at UW? All while working in either engineering or engineering-adjacent fields?

And yes, I agree community college needs to be a more-used resource. I think we made part of the on-campus experience a stage of life of sorts, which has a few pluses, but also strong minuses.

(I'm currently trying to decide between attempting to move to an adjacent field or maybe going back to school for something. Just need to figure out what)

Are CCs under used today begging for students?  I never got that impression, there was one near us in Cincy that seemed busy.

When I told the wife that all I wanted for my birthday was a good humping, I really should have made sure the puppy was out of earshot.

Cincinnati State drops all sports except soccer after cuts
August 19, 2017


CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati State Technical and Community College says it’s suspending all sports except women’s and men’s soccer due to budget cuts. 

The soccer teams will play for the fall season, but the basketball, volleyball and golf teams will not...

I think it depends. I heard somewhere the nursing programs were really full up. Not sure about the stuff that Badge is talking about. 

I'm fascinated by CCs in a certain way because I've long thought post-WWII, college became a place for people of certain means to bridge from 18 into adulthood. For young men for a long time, the military was crucial there, and in some ways probably still should be. 

It's interesting because CC requires in some sense a little more being on top of your stuff, but the kids more predisposed to be on top of their stuff end up more overwhelmingly in four-year schools. I hope things can shift more toward functional degrees without damaging whatever value the academy creates. Granted the balance is out of whack with more "academic" majors than are needed.

One thing interesting I learned about the Japanese system, and to some extent the European systems, and I've read about this as well as talked to folks, is that high school for them is tough if they are college bound.  Only about 37% of EU HS graduates attend college, the figure here is nearly 70%.  HS for them is tough, college by and large is not (it can be).  A chemistry major in Europe only takes chemistry classes, and maybe some math and physics and biology, he or she will take zero liberal arts classes.

Here we use college to "complete" a person's HS education in many ways.  Folks come out with a 4 year degree roughly on a par in each country because esp. in Japan, college is not very difficult.  (Maybe it isn't here now as much either.)

They also of course have no college sports other than perhaps rowing.  If you are a top flight soccer player, you play soccer, not in college.  In France, K-12 education is entirely Federalized, every school teaches the same program (excepting some teaching local languages which is allowed now), entirely funded by the Feds.  Part of that was intended to bind a somewhat disparate country into one whole, back in the day local languages were taught against.

If she's still under your roof you can tell her into any of them.
