Tuition for a Nevada resident taking the 51 credit-hour MBA Program is approximately $10,302. Textbooks and fees are approximately $3,254. The total estimated cost for the UNR MBA is $13,556.

Tuition and Fees | College of Business MBA | University of Nevada, Reno

Undergrad classes are less, so your opinion that college is a scam seems to be based on a falsehood.

You should really wait until evening to start drinking. And, to answer your last question, most liberal states pay far more in federal taxes than they are given in return, while most conservative states receive far more in federal handouts than they pay. So, perhaps it would do well to educate yourself and not follow the political propaganda machines.



To close out the off-topic issue about the Big Bang theory, the latest thinking of string theory involves multiple parallel universes operating on multiple dimensions.

So, if you've got issues already, hold on tight; your beliefs are about to get really shaken.

The reason libs love government handouts and big government bureaucracy is because the more a person is dependent on the government, the more the government is in control.

Also, as far as the biblical "7 days," it is very possible that the days being referred to may be longer than a "day" as we know it. I'm of the opinion that not all of the Bible should be taken 100% literally, but that some of it is to be taken metaphorically and some of it has to be looked at in the context of the time it was written.

How could time be divided into "days" if they didn't exist until God separated the light from the darkness?

Also, could God have created a bunch of stuff in one "day" and gone on vacation for a couple of billion years before He came back to see what He got and putter around with it for another "day"?

Just wondering...

I understand that one of the main characteristics of such a brain was their total inability to comprehend or utilize "spell check".

Did Olbermann's guest mention that at all?

Unless you have a masters or doctorate, you're better off working right out of high school, unless you're on a scholly.
You seem to think that college is a kind of leverage or advantage you can buy that helps you wangle a high paying job.

Anyway, here's an interesting read, regarding college and successful CEO's:

Lacking a college degree does not mean one should be proud to be ignorant.

With public libraries available in almost every community in the U.S. there is simply no excuse for an American to be uneducated. There may be a reason they do not have a degree but there is no reason that they should be uneducated.

Sonrise: Erm, Bill Gates *did* attend university. He dropped out as his company began.

I don't think snobbery against people who did not attend university is exclusive to "leftlist"s, Sonrise. If possible request to have the thread title edited to say "To all you people who feel snobbery towards people who did not go to college" or something like that.
