Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[oceanbreeze77]

Some of the wealthiest and most successful people don't have a piece of paper. There is nothing wrong with having a unique skill set or being an entrepreneur.

a large percentage of that population also had mommy and daddy's wallet behind them.

that's 180K-270K additional deaths by February.

Can’t believe we’re debating whether education makes a person smarter, but here we are.

My favorite post maybe ever. Game. Set. Match.

Does having a degree make you arrogant? Sorry couldn't resist.

Probably...but “patronizing” is something I’ve managed to cure.

And I’ll bring this up again: I am not defending the college system or claiming it is a necessity or total predictor of results. Read the posts.

Ridiculous...time to float over to some threads asking about when parades/fireworks will be back...to get “grounded”

And often one of those bills is a large college loan. This is the biggest reason I've never told my kids they HAVE to attend college to be successful (as was assumed by/taught to my generation), only that they cannot stop learning after high school - trade school, internships, anything else. The amount of debt these students finish their degrees with is often staggering and disturbing.

I have a career that requires a degree at least an associates, but now they want a bachelors. It is much more skill based. On the job training experience, and critical thinking is everything. Nurses are starting their career 80k plus in debt most of which has nothing to do with the job. I just think there has to be a better way.

There is....free education for all.

But I dont think this a discussion for here so we won't get into it.

The deadliest hurricane of the modern era that primarily affected the US was Katrina with about 1,200 deaths (I'm excluding Maria because most of the deaths were not in the US).

3,055 people died of COVID-19 just yesterday.

Last I checked Puerto Rico is a part of the US. Almost the same number died in PR alone during the hurricane Maria as did from Covid in one day. Both should be seen as catastrophes

That is a matter of opinion. It's not that valuable if it doesn't pay the bills.

I don’t agree with that at all. An education has value apart from helping someone get a good job.

I don’t think getting a job is the only reason to become well-educated. My father in law had a college degree and made a great living running a business involving labor that did not require a college degree. He never considered his education a waste of time or effort. It was part of what made him the person he was.

 

[Chi84]

You’re shocking me here...seriously. Never would have guessed you’d say that.



Does that LA education include reading comprehension?? Because I’ve had to clarify things I didn’t say or even hint to support at least a few teams from other already...and the night is so young.

Wait, you’re complaining that people don’t understand your posts?

You don't need college to educate yourself. It's such liberal snobbery to assume otherwise.

In my professional opinion you have not cured it.

Had to check the thread title again to make sure I was in the right one. When’s recess?

Patronizing?? I’m on step 10...at least...

I never would...as long as it’s not grandma asking the questions

I’m not sure if I’m happy or scared to agree with you so much in this thread!

I haven’t seen anyone assume otherwise. My mother needed to educate herself because she had to leave school and work to help her family - she didn’t even go to high school. Yet she was very well-read and could hold her own in just about any discussion - especially about politics.

I’m not sure why you think valuing a college education is wrong or some kind of snobbery. There are a lot of people who go to college and value the education they receive. People are different; one person's experiences don't necessarily lessen or cheapen someone else's.

The thing about social media forums is that you may agree with someone on some issues and disagree with them on others. It's no different then in real life.

So... Pfizer, Moderna. Right? How about j&j for the rest of us.
April 1, parks back to normal.

This is my highly educated contribution

I don't think valuing a college education is wrong, but if your going to go into debt for it it should be worth it.

You are good long as you were educated outside of a college campus...otherwise you are apparently a liberal snob

April fools day return to normal would be pretty darn good news . I have high hope for the JnJ vaccine still. It won’t come as soon as Pfizer and Moderna, but we should have some idea where that one stands in January. If the news is good it could be a game changer since it only requires 1 shot and no need for special freezers. For the US we have enough vaccine purchased from Moderna and Pfizer to vaccinate 100M people from our initial order so adding JnJ to the mix gets us up to 200M and we still have AstraZeneca results coming probably also in January and Novavax probably February. The more that work out, the better and if all the others fail we have options to buy more Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
