Lol nah I started playing WoW again a month or so back and there were people that it said hadn't been online for like 150 days - 2 years so I removed them. Guessing you had a high number.
The thing about college that bothers me the most I guess is that it is looked at a lot from a business standpoint. The more people you round up and get to believe college will solve all their problems then the more loans are taken out and the more money people can make from the students.
Debt has always been something that you incur rather early on in life but at some point the average goal switched from finish highschool settle down and buy a house and fall into debt, to finish high school go directly to college and into debt, then after years of paying that back attempt to get a house and get put into more debt.
It just seems like you're expected to be in some form of debt nearly every day of your life. Medical, housing, school, credit cards, there's always something.
Don't you guys know the more money you pay for that piece of paper, the more you know, and the more you will make?! It works exactly like that. No exceptions.
If only.
Tell that to the masses of people with college education who are out of work.
I also remember reading some interesting statistics about the average GPS shooting way up over the years. This wasn't the exact source but it looks about right compared to what I remember.
It was basically just illustrating the fact that the percentage is much much higher than in the past.
So then you have to ask yourself, are people REALLY getting that much smarter, or are the grades being inflated in order to draw in more "customers" basically.
Well the only value is calling in and hoping to make a few bucks here and there. I don't think it's worth the headache though if you're still living at home and it may end up costing quite a bit of gas money depending on where you're needed.
You can beLIEve me.
