Umm... you're in North Dakota?
So you're getting less snow than expected for this time of year?
Fair point.
The funny thing is the last time I moved it was in the middle of a blizzard too. I'm starting to think I should just move south next time.

Going back to China for a second:
I'm currently working on my Master's in IT Risk Management and Security. This semester, I'm taking two business classes that are required for it.
My class last night was on global business - global management practices, specifically. (The other class is in linear programming, which I will never ever ever use, but alas)
The makeup of that class is 25 students from mainland China here on visas, a student from some Balkan country (I forget which), and myself and another American guy.
The NBA thing was brought up by my professor, and the Chinese students were basically split between "Who cares?" and "If you like making money, don't criticize China." They all said that it's absurd that this is happening, but "that's the government over there."
(The Balkan girl doesn't follow basketball and was confused by the whole situation. I glanced over and the other American guy was doing crossword puzzles. I was on HF reading the GDT.)

Re: options with China. The above is really staggering. A few weeks ago I read one nuclear option available to Trump would be to ban Chinese students from attending college in America on human rights grounds. Apparently there are some experts that think this could hurt the Chinese almost as much as economic tactics.
It would hurt a lot of our universities too. Without Chinese students paying full freight, state schools can’t subsidize the local students as much, and a lot of programs would be basically empty.
2/3 of the students in my Masters of Business Analytics program were from India or China. If the Chinese students suddenly disappeared, they wouldn’t replace them with locals. The program would shrink or become even more Indian dominated.
Like it or not, with our economies so tightly bound together, everything we do to hurt China rebounds against us too. Unwinding the economies from each other may not be a bad idea (we’re seeing the censorious effects of being beholden to China right now), but this isn’t the way to do it.

Culture, art, and entertainment are important.
I'll take, "THINGS THAT DONT REQUIRE A COLLEGE DEGREE" for $800, Alex.
So, Ive been looking to make my workouts more efficient. Time is not a luxury for me anymore.
Can anyone suggest some low impact exercises, Ive got bad knees, that work multiple muscle groups? I went from doing a sitting freeweight shoulder press to a standing press. Holy moly, what a difference. That works more muscle groups than I imagined.
Waaaayyyyyyy off the mark here dude. Unless you're a prodigy, you need vigorous, formal training and guidance to be among the best in your field - that's what these art degrees are. The amount of work these kids go through is grueling. I've been close friends with people in these programs, and they're closer to full-time jobs than classes. Maybe it's different in smaller schools, but it is a ton of work. I could never do it.
I work at a university known for its arts school. Best believe that every time the Emmys, Tonys, etc. happen, we get an email reminding us which winners and nominees went here. It's not a short list.
Another thing about that - when alumni do make it big, they donate back to the school. A lot of the arts programs here are self-sustaining for that reason alone. My friend works for the photo department at our art school, and he's told me all about it. We're talking eight figures in donations per year.
are you just trying to do cardio? is swimming an option?

I mean I literally majored in what I do (business/info systems) and I still feel like I didn't learn anything in college that I apply *directly* to my work. I'd say what I actually do was largely self-taught outside of the classroom ****ing around with computers.
Doesn't change that I *needed* my degree to get my position, and now I'm taking my employer to the cleaners with tuition reimbursement for a master's.
The above helps prove my point better than anything I could write. This should not be.
Ahhhh, yes, the oft spoke of, "magical scrap of paper" - is this what "higher education" has really become in America? Again, this furthers my point.
And if this is generally the case for a given basket of majors, then just go to an affordable community college for 2 years, then to the cheapest, crappiest state school you can find (if that's an option) for 2 years. It would help thousands of kids avoid (or at least mitigate) some serious student debt.

But yes the student loan crisis exists in a vacuum and all art majors are dumb.
The major problem I have with colleges is many professors stayed in academia their whole lives and never worked in the outside world. They dont have any real world experience to use in their teaching. The best college classes I ever had were taught by adjuncts with real world experience.
All valid points, but you realize how your prior posts could be interpreted as blaming/shaming the actual students more than the institutions?
