Fail Quotes

[Ibrahim90]

This actually make me feel kinda glad that I am currently not  attending a university.

shit, I'm not attending either. graduated 11 months ago.

And just wait till you hear the best part: I'm unemployed. I can't find anyone who will just hire me already--not even to flip burgers. just last month I was told that I was to be hired as a mud-logger (great pay and benefits), only to have the process halted by the higher ups (this was after an interview and everything went perfectly), to be--get this--"resumed in May" (i.e., they're jerking me around). and payments are due may 12th. I have applied everywhere I could think of and find, and only 2 places called back. one to tell me he'd love to, and the other is what I mentioned above. bear in mind, I was at the top of my class, with a degree in Geology--which is one of the better places ATM.

I'd apply for deferment (again), but it'll just mean my interest will build up, and be added to the principle. and I can't get out with bankruptcy protection (thanks congress!). my life at this point is ruined--and there's nothing I can do about it, since no one will hire me, and I can't start a business in this place.

they give you loans (in my case, forced on me), and expect you to pay them back, knowing full well that is increasingly unlikely: why the student population hasn't risen up in revolt and brought back the severed heads of those dicks responsible is beyond me--because frankly, I want to do that myself. I'm already trying to get people to listen, but they're too fucking stupid.

when they say you need a fucking degree to get a job? they're lying. one is in this day and age little better off with a BS or BA--even in Engineering or medicine. at least those who never went, owe not a government sanctioned bloodsucker any money. Which is why you are lucky--and smart. if you want a degree, leave the country, go to a place where it's cheap (and there are places), and don't come back--at least till you have that BS or BA. you'll do yourself a favor.

I'm currently attending a community college. Prices are going up but I have to admit it is still a helluva lot cheaper and more affordable than a university, they're even cheaper than most my California State Universities.

Hearing your story I think I would be better off opening a hot dog cart business, that's if the the regulating bureaucratic shitheads didn't make it hard with all the licensing etc, and if/when I get over my fear of driving. Or going to a vocational/trade school to learn actual marketable skills.

BTW hearing your story and hearing a'lot of stories of students in debt I really wonder if college graduates making a million dollars more is true, or if it's skewed stat. Anyone knows?

I even heard of some students graduating with 50 to a 100 grand in debt (not including the interest).

Didn't watch the whole thing yet, but I'm pretty sure this is fail just from the title alone.

@ skm: the statistics do no IIRC consider unemployment, and are from before the recession (I remember hearing it before the recession started). As to the 50-100% debt: that is an understatement (and only for employed people). in my case, it's even greater, as I have no work.

a trade or vocational school sounds good. just be careful with prices: they're going up pretty sharply too. there's nothing wrong with it either. an associates from a community college is also good.

Oh look, they're blaming the sequester on something.

Connecticut schools having controversy due to a shirt, despite the fact that there was nothing in the school handbook saying that guns were not allowed on shirts.

Also, the comments section is loaded with fail on their Facebook page.

Had this cited as an argument for gun control.  Already I'm seeing it's pulling the same stunt of counting suicides which is grossly misleading.

[AnCap Dave]

You know, because drones are always precise and never kill innocent bystanders.

Pop Quiz Anarcho-Hotshots: Chechnyan Terrorists kill a 12 year old American girls entire family. Since you don't believe in a government, should she have to hire mercenaries privately, or should she be forced to go over to Chechnya to seek justice on her own?
