[quote=jpinpb]How about exorbitant salaries. New Chancellor of UCSD is,looking at almost 400k a year. UCSD Chancellor[/quote]
I don’t disagree with that. How about protesting against that instead of wall street.
But if that shocks you, how about talking about the salaries of a lot of non-profits???
For example YMCA CEO salary is around $400k, excluding additional comps which brings it closer to $1million… I won’t even go into talking about United Way…And that is fundamentally why I won’t donate to a big organization. So folks, while it’s pretty reprehensible that some bank CEO’s that couldn’t even turn a profit got nice parachutes, it’s not a wall street problem..
It’s a more general America Morale/Ethics corruption problem…And same could be said for the pensions and unions.
[quote=The-Shoveler]Tuition Free Universities in Germany/ Norway.
If I was of college age I would try to emigrate to Norway or Germany..
Universities there are supposed to be “Tuition Free ” by law.
Don’t know if they have student loans for the living expenses like Beer,
oh maybe someplace to sleep as well.[/quote]
Not a bad idea. I know some people who chose Germany over USA because of free tuition even for foreign students.
For an American student, it would be a great experience in Europe. Maybe do undergrad in Europe and grad school stateside. Outlook on life would change and broaden. Might even become bi-lingual.
