Kids are ditching traditional college for career tech programs. Parents are concerned.
  • But if people are choosing to go into a trade, are they choosing IT as that trade?

    When I hear people talking about going to trade school over college, I expect them to go into technical fields where their trade certifications are enough to get by on.

  • Kids are ditching traditional college for career tech programs. Parents are concerned.
  • I can see that having a college degree may be a benefit at getting a job at your company, but would you recommend that people go to college to work at your company? Based on your numbers, a college degree only turns a 1 out of 4 chance to a 1 out of 3 chance of getting a job.

  • Just let Dexter die already. He's not Jason Voorhees. He doesn't have the immoral certainly of Jason. He's wishy-washy. Let him die.
  • Yeah, but it is different acknowledging being on the same level as other serial killers and becoming a source of harm to a loved one.

    Have him start to go through the motions, hit a moment of clarity where he realizes what a danger he is to his loved ones, then instead of killing her he kills himself.

  • The value of a degree doesn't drop because more people get one,

    It absolutely does. Part of the reason lawyer pay collapsed was because of the proliferation of law colleges that increased lawyer supply.

    It happened to be that there was an increase in demand for college degrees in the later 20th century which countered supply, but the labor premium of having a college degree over a trade certification has dropped significantly over the past generation.

    A lot of millennials went to college and chose specific degrees due to the promise of a higher wage. That wage difference isn't there anymore.

  • Ableism towards cluster B personality disorders is far too normalised.
  • If you look at autism and ADD, it has taken over a decade of communication about what it is and how to interact with people with those conditions. Even then, there is still some ableism regarding those conditions.

    I haven't seen anywhere near that level of communication for what to do with people with those conditions.

  • Can be
  • Yeah, but I've had problems where I ask a question to get to the point and get hold "hold on, I'll get there". It is frustrating to have people waste my time when they don't give me context when I ask for it because they internally rehearsed the wrong way to present something.

  • Of Course The Founding Fathers Would Have Hated Trump
  • It depends on how you look at the Articles of Confederation, another American basic law which was replaced by the Constitution.

    Also, it isn't me saying that the Constitution wasn't a big deal. It is just me pushing against the deification of the document.

  • I'm good at a large part of my job because I played boardgames a lot.

    It is amazing how little some people think through what the strategy is of doing anything. It isn't a technical skill; it is just knowing what sequence to do things so I can put in the least amount of effort.

    I'm not even that great at board games.

    What are aspects to your world that would affect how your species approaches spaceflight?

    For instance, a species with little to no navigable oceans or a fully aquatic species may find it difficult to develop the cultural skills necessary to run a ship because there isn't a tradition of operating a ship the same way there is for humans.

    What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country?

    I had someone apply for a job through a recruiter at my company and passed the interview with flying colors. However, it has come across after the interview that they may not have the legal ability to work. The company I work for is audited regularly, so I can't have hiring them swept under the rug.

    How do I deal with this without jepordizing the applicant?
