Actually no. Because he never gave me his phone number and he says he's going to meet me in Boston tonight for the Triptykon concert.

What's so funny about being gainfully employed in a somewhat skilled job? It's better than being on welfare or flipping burgers.
What's your job again?

learning at A REAL UNIVERSITY, oh ya...and getting about 4k or so in grants every semester....which in 3 years has amounted to 20k...maybe more, I've lost count.
Funny? what the hell makes you think I'm laughing? what's so funny about bad business practices from for profit companies disguising themselves as real universities? Epecially in these though economic times, people are being taken advantage of.

If you have trouble getting a job after graduation, all those vocational school graduates who work as nursing assistants etc will have the last laugh.

I'm going to graduate school afterward...so....ya....graduate school > vocational tech for any employer who isn't an idiot.
I'm guessing you don't have these type of "schools" in your country so intead of telling you to shut the like most people do I'd rather give you an example that will.
Before going to school I was going to become a ******** technician. All I needed was to study a $75 book, which is really basic material, and take a test that cost about $150. A total expense of about $325! For a job with a starting pay of about $10 an hour. If you look at one of these for profit schools for ******** technician, like Kaplan,....the costs is about 12k. ya.....what are you gonna post now? huh? probably insult me because you have nothing better to post....well I'm ready ;P
******** = p harmacy

You're right in that Japan doesn't have the "paper mill" e-degree thing like the U.S. does, but that's because Japanese people are terrified of computers.
I'm an American with a REAL DEGREE from REAL UNIVERSITY too (should I say it again just to prove I'm better than people with online degrees?). Have fun in school, good times!

Woman! I'm not discrediting anyone for pursing anything, whether it be nursing assistant online or a doctorates in theology! I'm appalled by not only these paper mills, but these for profit companies that over-price their tution exponentially compared to a local community college or university that is non-profit and actually cares for the education taught to their alumni.
edit ^ just making a point to a sensitive subject for me.

How is charging $50,000 a year for a diploma "non-profit?" Education is money in the US. If you can get suckers to pay for it, go wild.
As a reference point, my school's landscaping budget was $1 million per year.

Difference between a non-profit vs. a non-profit university of college.
While I'm already going on my 3rd year, I have not paid a cent in tuition or anything! Everything has been handed down to me from the government and other smaller establishments of the university and/or local organizations related to academia. These are NOT loans. But I digress! Here's some simplicity of the difference
- for profit schools run like a business aimed at only making money, whereas non-profit schools, although also a business and also aimed at making money, are also focused on other projects including research, community and/or city wide functions, and various other projects. They also do not soley get their money from student tuition.
- for profit schools, as stated, are exeptionally high. For instance, my cousin decided to go back to school and chose an online degree from Ashford University based in Iowa. He asked me to help him with his studies because he hasn't been in school in over 15 years and really is the "party" type of person that negelcts his and has neglected his studies. No matter how hard I tried he, sadly, failed. But, once again, I digress! My point here is that one day I was looking over his account informaton and was shocked at his expenses to the school. More specifcally, he had only taken 3 classes online which are only 5 weeks long each! Each class cost him around 1,100 dollars! In the end, even though he dropped-out, he owed, and probably still does, this company about 4,400 thousand dollars! Compared to my schooling which is around 350-600 a class and an entire semester full time (5-6 classes) cost me about 2.5-3k! And the classes are months, not weeks, long.
- the instructors at a for-profit school have no to very little tenure in the world of academia. More specifcally, whereas at a real college/university, for-profit professors are generally poor quality, not invovled in research, and these for-porfit schools have very loose qualifications for professor employment.
- Lastly, there is more but it is getting late, advertisement for a non-profit school vs. a for-profit school is obviously different. For instance, in the pat 3-4 months I've only seen one, MAYBE two, commercials for my University which is right down the street from where I live. Devy University called me for months, even during the summer, heckling me to join their alumni until I finally answered the phone telling them I'm already applied to somehwhere else. How did they get my number? I've NEVER applied for any other school or ANYTHING....once again...HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET MY NUMBER?
In conclusion, an article for your reading pleaure;

Just went to the beach for the first time since the end of winter. Beautifully clear 26 C day, no breeze at all. My dogs had a blast.

It was a bloody nice day today in Perth, it wasn't excessively hot which is always a good thing because I hate extremely hot weather. Unfortunately, I was cooped up in class all day.

Welcome back my friends
In Omaha, RN starts at 50000/year. It's almost 70000/year in Minnesota. It does depend on the state you're in. I know because I'm going through Nursing school and I've researched all that crap and asked nurses during my clinicals. I'm going into med/surg nursing but that won't make a difference on the starting wage.
