We applaud all of your hard work harry... I had a short, undistinguished career while I was getting my M.A., teaching college level English courses to freshmen. The job paid me enough to fill in the holes left by my grad fellowship and my savings. I was pleased to be able to get college degrees that were not trade or profession oriented. Some years later, much to my surprise, while I was working for a Detroit PR/Ad firm, one of my clients hired me part-time as a consultant to teach alphabetization to adjunct staff working on SuperNUCAL, a project that produced the world's largest, dullest book. It was a 29-volume set of the card catalogue of the Library of Congress, with annual supplements to be released. Heady stuff for an etymologist with only an M.A. |

I know, because I did it at Shick Razor in Milford, Connecticut, one college summer. |

You might start seeing "4 year" degrees in 2 or 3 years from those people.

That's the motivation. Give me a ****ing break. You clearly don't give a **** about anyone else's life experience. What about getting shot at in the inner city? I guess that doesn't count. I spent a lot more time in the inner city than you and I have been shot at twice. HOw the **** would you know that? Oh, I get it, you're the all knowing all seeing one eyed oracle. That is not what we were talking about tho is it? How many of those inner city kids have the grades to get in college in the first place? Graduation rates are in the mid 30% and most of them barely read at the 8th grade level. Yes, how many times? Do they have access to all the things that the privliged white kids have in the burbs? Doubtful, and they get to dodge bullets on the way home from school (the run down one on the corner where the roof leaks and the teachers don't get hazzard pay). Sounds like you're blaming the kids because they aren't in an envirnment that gives them the opportunity to learn how to read. If you do find a kid who can make it to college, I salute them. They will have the desire to succeed and they have a very good chance of actually getting something out of it. And, **** the rest. They dont deserve help. You're quite the humanitarian. |

Salute their parents, probably not on welfare, also. Salmonbait If you had no way to feed your kids or cloth them would you take welfare or let them starve to death? What a dumb ****ing question. Salmon**** would eat the kids. |
