I still find it absolutely crazy.

There's also the fact that every moment of their lives is documented and has to be an occasion. Now, was that their choice or the choice of their parents? I will say I don't find that there's that much in the way of difference between generations. I had 2 gen Z aged summer clerks and they were both hardworking and engaged. I do think they face challenges that weren't there for me. The cost of education has just gone up way past the rate of inflation. It concerns me that a lot of people are saddled with debt that just didn't exist for previous generations getting degrees. I was a latchkey kid. There was no one to tell me to stay out but there wasn't a reason to stay in the house. Well maybe it has to do with the quality of the receivers. I believe the most active users of Facebook are millennials Instagram too Twitter Leading platforms for GenZ are Snapchat and Tik Tok. YouTube spreads pretty broadly but there are so many different focus areas there.

I Fing hate playing against Dave meggett on that game. He always burns me. I still play it too 😂 Bo Jackson from Tecmo Bowl is the most OP video game player ever! I hated playing the Raiders late in the season when the game got tougher.

The percentage of people going to college has only slightly increased. The real difference is the cost. I do think young people don't tend to think through the consequence of getting a significant student loan. There are plenty that make poor choices in careers and majors. I do think there are plenty of fields such as teaching, finance and engineering that you will not be able to get into without a degree. The real exception is for like a construction trade although there are more degrees designed to help people in that field. I don't think the education system is any worse. I think generally educational theory and curriculum has advanced. I think the blame is more complex. I do agree that a fundamental problem is that Universities have over spent on facilities. I also think the availability of money and the failure for kids to do a real cost benefit analysis is a problem. I mean a lot of kids would avoid problems if they stayed at home and went to community college. Unfortunately, they are lured by the idea of having a college experience. Speaking as a younger person (I’m 25), I’m really glad I never went to college. Senior year of high school I was turned down by the college I wanted to go to, that kind of turned me off from college in general. I’ve never been a career oriented person & didn’t see the point of spending all that money without any sort of plan. Many of my peers that went ended up dropping out, and still already have a ton of debt. The ones that finished are obviously way more in debt, most of those aren’t employed in field they studied or not employed in general. The ones that are employed in field they studied are usually making more money than me now, but we have similar quality of life because of how strapped down they are from student loans. The work I’ve been doing for past 6-7 years had so many college graduates doing same exact job earning the same money as me, that’s what opened my eyes that I made the right choice. You’re right though. Too many of them go after degrees that don’t lead to well paying jobs or very few jobs in general. It’s best to learn a trade, or go to community college, unless they’re lucky enough & their parents are paying for their college.

They had a fun team on that game with warren moon.

September 9, 20214 yr The running game is so important to the Ravens offense no way they go with the 2014 RBs. They will overpay for someone like Melvin Gordon, Fournette, etc
September 9, 20214 yr 32 minutes ago, NCiggles said: I think they believed he could replace Alshon. Then they signed Alshon to a dumb extension. I do think part of the failure of the pick goes beyond just scouting. I mean lack of player development under Pederson was an issue. It's also not like they were game planning mismatches well. Dickerson has to stay healthy enough to play. Let's hope he does. Yup. Howie just lined up dumb decision after dumb decision like dominoes... I agree on Dickerson. He could be a very good player, and has been... whenever he's been on the field. The issue is how infrequently he has been on the field. I just don't see how that changes as he moves to the NFL.

No idea how tradeable his contract is but they would be lucky to get out from under it.

September 9, 20214 yr 34 minutes ago, NCiggles said: ;Not just a running attack but one that also utilizes Hurts. No. Hurts needs to show he's a passer. Let him learn how to play QB and utilize the play action game. If he's running like he did last year, that's a concern. If he's running by design, that's a failure.

Many of College grads, dont see a ROI for their investment, because their earning potential doesn't match the cost of the degree. You can blame the Universities and the lending institutions for the rising cost, Blame the insitutions and society for lack of quality curriculum, blame society and bad parenting and horrible High School Career advisors on not explaning the value versus the cost equation. And lastly blame the students, for all along they made the final decisions even if they were given bad advice, they still made their own beds. Lastly - an education is only as good as what you are being taught. Elon Musk stated it best, if you want to learn something, you dont need college or a college education, the information is out there, available to all, mostly for free. And thats mostly true outside of a few professions, like needing a medical or Law degree. Maybe someone can explain why mega banks like Morgan Stanley and Bank of America can borrow money from the Federal Reserve at 0% interest and turn around and loan it at a much higher cost yet we loan money to college students at 6%. Makes no sense to me how we invest in our futures. Thank the gods Jamie Diamond can have his millions every year at our trough. Then Morgan Stanleys of the world hiding through PACs vilify those who want to turn the tables to favor the common man as socialists. The greatest thing you learn at a university is how to learn and utilize the skills associated with the application of what we learn. Hopefully in the process of getting a rounded education we broaden our perspective a bit.

College is the biggest money scam and the biggest problem is that it puts young people in debt before they even start. Having a skill or skills is much more profitable. Thank God my Dad realized this and opened up his own small business just out of high school grew it and today none of us work.
