Re: Adulting is Hard

[(Anonymous)]

DON'T DO IT. If you're in America. Speaking from recent experience.

(1) It's all about those sweet tuition dollars, and they love nontraditional students because the programs set adults up to fail, but not before they get their $20K+. And they will absolutely string you along and make you think there's a chance, while 2 years turns into 3 and then they change the curriculum and it becomes 4... or 5.

(2) This is a deliberate business strategy to keep them afloat because they're all facing a demographic cliff and fighting for traditional freshmen. Yes, the state-supported schools, too.

(3) You will be in classes with 19yos who don't know how to take notes, have almost nonexistent reading comprehension skills, and use ChatGPT for everything. If you spend time to submit original work, you'll be in the lower percentile because you're competing with cheaters.

(4) College is no longer lecture/tests/paper/final. You will be buried in busy work, I'm talking 3+ assignments per class per week. You will be expected to "turn and talk to a neighbor" about whatever dumb shit in every single class session. Your grade will be partially dependent on group work, and deadlines mean nothing. NOTHING. To the young adults in college right now. They're negotiable suggestions at best and, at worst, a cattle prod 5 minutes before grades are due for the semester.

It really does depend on the school.

Yeah, I was going to say, I went back to school to take some classes a few years ago and that was not my experience at all.

Ayrt - the origrams I was looking at are more solo focused aimed at working adults, so definitely not a traditional going to class with teens type of thing.

The only reason I was looking into it was to try amd get out of the US. I work in education but have hit a wall because I have no degree. With a degree not inly wipp my current job grow, it will open the door for overseas teqching positions as well as a few other opportunities outsode of my field I've been looking at that just require you have a degree, subject doesn't matter.

But I probably won't because money and time amd stress. It just sucks that theres no way to make more money or get a position with insurance or retirement without one.

Hey. If you want to and can, go for it. There are good programs out there. there are those that take advantage, yes. But that isn't everything. Sadly yes, school in the US is expensive. But if you find something that works for you, you should go for it.

If you work in education, maybe your employer has a program for people looking to go back to school. I used to work in education and my employer had a grant program for people who wanted to get a teaching credential or another certification.

Unfortunately not. Our state doesn't have anything either. So frustrating to search and see all these other employers and states that offer programs like free tuition amd I'm stuck here. I am looking at moving or changing jobs but it is expensive. Working on it though.
