I think you should fix your user information when it comes to degrees first. I highly doubt you are currently pursuing a Political Science+Economics degree, a masters in History and a PhD in Physics.
If you want a PhD in physics than get a physics undergraduate degree first.
And if you can't...
Alright you got me, I made the mistake to generalize (assuming that 1 for profit university= others).
Regardless, you can't deny that there is an increasing number of folks with undergraduate degrees working in a job that offers a lower salary than expected.
I could see it work for students. You can marry your college sweetheart and by the time the marriage ends no one is going to call you a fornicator (not that people use this word often in the western world)
I did not claim that unis are for profit. I said their goal was to get as many students as they can, in order to cover their own expenses.
I can find a source, but after many journalistic investigations, universities have changed their websites. What I claimed is what I have read back when I...
I think that's why kids are not doing so well in Math and Physics. It's because they've had a weak foundation. I still remember when I used to get hit by my parents for not doing well in math. Then I got the highest marks in math in HS. Not that I condone violence, it's just that everyone needs...
Most university websites. Most speeches by university recruiters.

That's just 1 example.
I don't have any problem with capitalism. I believe the economic system should be a mixture of capitalism and socialism. Some things people need should be covered by the government if and only if the economy is strong (done by capitalism). These things should be certain areas of education...
Why is tution skyrocketing ? Too many people.
When I was a first year engineering student, the tuition was around 9k. I saw way too many people getting into engineering without knowing what they wanted to do. They just wanted the prestige and the money but they didn't even know if they had the...
We don't need theoretical physicists, we need more soldiers, more politicians, more lobbyists, more scammers and anyone who should be on this list. (Sarcasm)
Complete the above list if you feel like it.
I did a mistake by assuming that the cost of a physics degree would be somewhat around the same as an EE degree.
However, I still think that a physics degree should be free when it comes to tuition. I am sick and tired of universities lying to prospective students in order to sucking every...
Actually, this is just practiced in Shia Islam. The majority of Muslims (sunni) stay away from that. It is legal prostitution because the man has to give dowry. What some men do is "marry" the bride for an hour, pay the dowry and consume the marriage, then they move on with their lives. It is...
I can understand the path to a PhD. You need proof of an academic education before entering graduate school.
I was referring to getting an undergraduate degree just to get "knowledge" without a PhD as a goal.
Trust me, there is way too many people that get an undergraduate degree and end up...
Why would you have to pay in order to get "knowledge"?
I would rather get a degree that would guarantee a miserable but financially rewarding job rather than get a degree and get a miserable job that doesn't pay the bills.
