![]() ![]() Anyway, you said that college isn't for everyone...well, neither is the military. Besides, how large of a military do you all want to have? I'm not sure of the numbers but I'd imagine that if just a small percentage of welfare rats joined the military it would double. |

Dude, tuition has gone up way more than salaries have, over the last couple decades. Plus baby boomers' retirement funds have taken some big hits in the last 10 years. So yeah, you dont see them paying their kids' tuition as much as they did in the 80s and 90s.
Yeah I went to college, but I just didn't understand how you feel the military is some sort of last resort for a ghetto resident. Like as if they have so many better options. Like what exactly? 0.001% might be good enough at sports to get their ticket paid, or 0.00000001% might be a good enough rapper to make bank............What are the other options? OK let's take studying hard......0.00001% might get a full scholarship somewhere........So where does that leave the other 99%? Should they become a manager at the TJ Maxx in their hood? ![]() ![]() And for those that get loans for college, why is that "better" than serving first? Especially when half of college students never graduate, mostly because they didn't know themselves well enough to pick a realistic major/career field (almost happened to me)..............and even those that do graduate don't always end up getting a job earning what the media claims college graduates make. I just want to know what these "superior choices" are. ![]() Last edited by Homeslice; 12-24-2010 at 06:06 PM.. |

That's not saying anything negative about the military. All he's saying is that it sucks that options are limited for some. |
