Top Producers of African American Baccalaureate Degree Recipients 2015

[.༼-◕_◕-༽.]

The top two are due to people being misdirected.
They'd be much better off at their local community colleges.

If you search my post history, you'll see that I'm a huge advocate for community college then transfer to state school. I think paying for private school (especially for profit) is a waste of money. In this case the road to hell is paved with good intentions. While the degree maybe useless from a for-profit school, the work and focus that the people used to earn a degree are still worthy of some recognition.

I'm simply acknowledging the work and the fact that they finished.

If a person isn't getting free ride, they should choose the least expensive higher education option possible. Graduating with massive debt nearly eliminates any advantage of attending a private school.

If I'm hiring I'm not going to dismiss a University of Phoenix graduate because at least they did finish. Done is better than perfect and most people are pretty intelligent. The school that a person graduates from has absolutely nothing to do with their capabilities or intelligence.

The big lie about higher education in this country is that certain people are far more intelligent than others. I believe that there are lots of extremely intelligent people all over the place doing all kinds of different things. We are trained and taught to compete to be the "best" but there are very few people who are actually exponentially smarter or more intelligent than their peers.
Most of the differences that we see are due to people's work ethic. The hard-working student will usually prevail amongst their cohort.

I don't believe that there are very many special snowflakes...

I knew white people attended. I was talking in percentage terms. Do they attend as frequently? That was what I was getting at. I'm not a fan of online colleges, especially after reading some articles.

This is pure bullshyt. Why do for-profit schools make up the majority of schools that black Americans choose to attend? There are numerous accredited state universities that educated black could go to, but they choose to go to for-profit schools, where the degree basically means nothing to any private/state universities nor reputable employers. Every last one of those people got scammed; overpriced shyt degrees that won't even get you a job. There's a reason why every major for-profit college had or has faced a major lawsuit before. Don't even try to tell me otherwise.

How the hell do we not know about shyt like this already? We're literally giving our money away. Pisses me the fuk off.

Online classes do nothing for you especially if you'really taking a science class. Science classes do not really count unless you take a lab with the course.

I always wondered how online colleges teaches the lab sciences ( Biology,Chemistry,Physics)?

The list is factual bruh. Now if you're saying its bullshyt people are getting these degrees then yeah you're correct, and I agree with your statement. It's also like this for Masters degree students as well. I think the top two are University of Phoenix and American Intercontinental university.

You wouldn't believe the number of people that go to a online college.

I would never waste my money going to a degree mill. They only want the money.

A lot of jobs don't want to hire a person because of the fact that they were basically "self taught."

Instead of wasting money going to Everest or UOP, I would just pay the money to go to technical school.

Check out PD Soros recipients.
There are a lot of special snowflakes, and none of them go to for-profit schools.
