I did the same, but I owe 10k. Now, I'm trying to get a grant for community college. Never will I take out a loan again.
What state do you live in? Try to find a cheap school, I know HBCUs are close to community college prices.

The school i transferred to is 14k a year for tuition alone. I commuted from home so i didn't pay for food and a room.

I'm going back to my community college for a two year, then transferring. Thanks for the heads up and I'll keep that in mind.

P.S. I live in Virginia.

No, I'm saying in America they will be...
Also don't confuse
devalued with valueless.
Oh okay. I do agree that our public educational system is in a crises. Especially, k-12 public school. The curriculum has a lot of flaws and doesn't prepare these kids for the real world and college.

Yep and try and major in something where you actually learn something and develop some sort of skill.

Because I got my associates in business administration and I learned almost nothing. It was 99% memorize and regurgitate.. or information I already knew.

Too much focus is put on education in the first place. Opening it up to everyone will uplift and further other demographics without really providing much advancement for blacks according to most studies.
We shouldn't champion this...
At least not till our community changes its outlook on education.
In my opinion of course.:manny:


Education Is Not Great Equalizer for Black Americans
Racial Wealth Gap Persists Despite Degree, Study Says
Study: Even for college-educated blacks, road to full-time work is rocky

Personally, I plan to major in Human Services, so I can do community outreach/organizing. I'll probably venture into the political field later on. I do want a skillset in physical-fitness/personal training though.

Wait....white of the whitest people hate on each other there for...religion? How do you know who is a Catholic or Protestant and be white at the same time?

Seriously how does that work?
Ethnic divisions as well.
The UK waged war on Northern Ireland for a while, a lot of death and destruction.

Yeah, peace was only very recently achieved in 1998 with the GFA. And some paramilitary groups are still active, though on a much smaller scale.

This is why I'm so happy I live in Scotland, not only do I get free tuition but since I'm responsible for a child I get housing benefit from the college to help me pay the bills.


The fact that a wee country like us can manage this but people think America can't is fukking retarded.

There's more people aye but the USA also has way more resources to put into it. It's the richest country in the world and should be able to provide higher education to people who want to pursue it.

The U.S.'s only goal is extreme capitalism and implementing oligarchy.

Look at literacy rates. High school completion rates. Then tell me that this would be a good idea...

Not happening. They want soldiers.

Americans could fund socialized healthcare and stronger public education


IF they abandoned their imperial designs on the world
