    Do people really put that they have a highschool diploma or GED on a resume? If you have your college degree, I don't know why you would include it.

    I feel if you were to pass over all BS holders because they hold a GED would be an oversight. Especially if they completed their BS in a timley fashion.

    LOL @ you GED white knights. GEDs are another casualty in the degree inflation movement. You can't even join the military with a GED alone anymore. If someone has a GED and tries to enlist, they must complete 15 college credits before they are eligible.
    As a CIO, it was common practice not to hire ANYONE who had a GED regardless of post-GED credentials (BS, MBA, etc). When I saw an applicant had a GED, it told me that this person quits when they face adversity or their work performance would be substandard. Once you enter corporate America, you'll have a different perspective when your job rests in the hands of your GED employees, who have a DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF QUITTING.
    By the way, in the business world we call a GED employee "good enoughs".
    GED
    Good
    Enough
    Diploma

    I can tell you from personal experience that if you at least graduated high school, California will be able to pay a good chunk of your education expenses and allow you to loan the rest. If I hadn't received a scholarship for going the school I went to, the Californian Government would have paid for all my tuition, room and board through grants. The rest of the money I'd have to loan out + work for (other misc. living expenses). In exchange, I'm given a shot at obtaining a degree from a good institution which will place me in a fairly decent job after graduation. (I'm currently working full time in addition to taking out loans and getting scholarships + grants. I'll be in roughly 25k debt after graduation).
    I can guarantee you any other high schooler who put in as much effort and work as I did @ my high school would have been able to do the same. I went to a high school with a low graduation rate as well to put that into perspective. The system isn't completely broken, if one is willing to put in the blood and sweat they'll succeed.
    That's their own fault though. I'm still pretty appalled people would go to your university for Russian/Women's Studies ROFL.
    There is definitely a stacked deck when you take into considerations the circumstances of your birth and how you were brought up. Everyone's socioeconomic status is different and that strongly affects where you go and how far you get in life.
    IQ tests != the will or motivation to do something. You can be smart as fuck, good for you but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll do shit.
    I agree with dojima on this part. You can't completely disregard the relative wealth of a US Citizen to another US Citizen however. A family that lives paycheck to paycheck living in a one bedroom apartment in the ghetto of Los Angeles will have different goals for their kids then say a family that lives in a nice house in the nice suburbia of Los Angeles. This is just relatively comparing middle class to low class, not even considering high class. (pretty high right now, not sure if anything I said made any sense)

    Are you implying Person A who goes to an expensive private school gets the same education as Person B who goes to a public school in the suburbs or Person C who goes to a school in an urban setting? To continue do you believe they are afforded the same kinds of opportunities for post-secondary education and careers, and the same chances to make money and save money?
    Saying "as long as you work hard you will be fine" seems like a cop-out to me.

    You also have to look at how much that percent of the nation's wealth is... $54 trillion.
    So 1% of all Americans have a total net worth of... $21.6 trillion.
    Total US population is around 315 billion people.
    So 3.15 billion people have a total of $21.6 trillion dollars net worth between them.
    That amounts to roughly $6860 of net worth of one person out of every 100.
    Alternatively the bottom 80% only has 7% of the wealth or $3.78 trillion
    80% of 315 billion people is 252 billion people sharing $3.78 trillion of net worth.
    Which amounts to roughly $15 of net worth per eighty people out of 100.
    So about 60 billion of the other 19% of Americans share 53% of the wealth... which is $28.62 trillion
    Which means, $59.85 billion Americans share $28.62 trillion.
    So 19 out of 100 Americans have a net worth of roughly $420.
    Net worth being your asset value minus your liabilities. Or the value of everything you own minus the amount of items that you do not own but you are in possession of (like taking out a loan, the loan is your liability).

    Mitch reacted in North Korea threats: US to move missile defences to Guam   
    Uh what? China personally approved the latest round of even stricter UN Sanctions on NK after the last nuclear test and have gone so far as to place troops and armor near the border with North Korea. As we our their biggest trading partner China has absolutely no interest in getting into a conflict against us to support one of the most irrelevant regimes on the planet. And Iran isnt stupid enough to support North Korea either, even with the level of sanctions put on Iran they legitimately do have a desire to extend their nuclear infrastructure to become a self sufficient nation and diversify their economy from just oil and natural gas exports. Whether there is a second hidden agenda to weaponize is beyond me; clues point to "yes they do" , however, am I concerned about them having it as much as I am about North Korea shelling South Korea? No I am not.
    If anything Iran will just move to covertly fund more shiite based insurgency in the middle east to promote its own politics. Its already done it and losing North Korea as a possible ballistics missile and nuclear proliferation partner will just make them want to do it more. The political climate however in Iran is much more stable for normalization in the future than what people think. What really has to happen is to eliminate the religious ties to government and the revolutionary guard (or eliminate that entirely) and bring the government back into normalcy.
    Also Israel needs to calm the fuck down but that goes without saying.
