I don't have to have any intellectual capacity at all to compete with you.

Its not a competition, its a discussion. You are proving yet again that you have no idea what's going on. Sorry Bar. Some things are to complex for you're simple little mind.

One contention I've held for years (due to the shortage of doctors in rural areas because most of the doctors want to practice and live in the metropolitan areas) is a rule requiring new doctors to perform whereever they are needed for the first five years after obtaining their ticket. Hopefully in most cases they could be given two or three choices and possibly a "hardship allowance" if and where it's warranted.

Been tried. Unfortunately what happens is a young Dr. Gets thrown into a situation where he/she has no experience or guidance. Kind of like having a first year apprentice run a shop.

I can be persuaded to have free or close to free university for certain areas such as engineering and medicine. Liberal arts degrees, which are useless or any other with a limited job market are on their own.

What the hell does that even mean? It's beginning to sound as if you are a few units short, Angstrom.



Given the fact that countries with high numbers of graduates in tertiary study generally have stronger economies and provide higher levels of service to their citizens I would say that everyone benefits. Also highly trained citizens tend to pay higher taxes, eventually paying back the country that finances their studies. In which case it is the taxpayer who should pay as the taxpayer wins in the long run.

Yep all those liberal arts majors working at rotten Ronnie's and Starbucks are really paying back the taxpayer.

We need to change things here for sure it should be at no cost with some provisions
I really mean no cost up front. If a student is capable of maintaining a grade average
after the first term in year one, Lets face it the first semester is a party the rest of the
year and going forward is more serious. If students make the grades we invest in them
If they don't they pay themselves for the substandard year
whey they graduate they either work on some government programs for a period at a
reduced rate to pay back an agreed portion or they pay it in cash

Care to explain what is different between the first semester curriculum to the second semester curriculum?

I could see that at a Community College... but at a college like MIT??!?!

Possibly not at MIT but I know it happens at universities here. And probably at state universities in the US.

I have a shirttail relative that has a MBA from Harvard dam near ruined the business my uncle built over 30 years.

Those are international student tuitions. Domestically tuition is fairly reasonable. It's everything else, like books and accomodations, that make it expensive.

In that case you're going to have to learn to discuss, then aren't you? Discussion means an exchange of ideas free of mindless insults. Why don't you give it a try?

Right, I guess the thousands of students that come out of tech schools are all liberal arts students. And just in case you don't know it, most university students don't take liberal arts either. But just in case they do here are a few professions in their area.

You're not above handing out the odd insult yourself, B.S.! Let's not get too sanctimonious. :)

Read my posts. I only go after those who are foolish enough to think they can intimidate me with insults or who are unnecessarily rude to others. A polite comment earns a polite response, just like this one.
