    Age group of 18-21 is more accurate there. I know MANY people who were married with a kid by 25.

    I just heard this on the news. I wish they had this policy when I was going to school.

    I am sorry, but that is just so much bullshit! How in the hell are these kids supposed to function in the real world if they can't take getting a failing grade???? Will your boss just say, oh that's ok, I understand you are stressed so just relax and tell me how much money you think you earned this week and I will just cut you a check????????

    No. But at the same time, more and more in our corporate clients, I see a shift from "I am THE ELDER. Just OBEY and do it my way." to "OK. What is your idea on how to improve this process.".

    My University must be an exception. I sit on the admissions board, hold the Vice Chair of the department (FiL makes me so he does not have to deal with people) and the Disciplinary Board (part of which make us the people who review GPAs for who is in probation and who is being "dismissed"). I have not seen one of these students who can not handle it. I have dismissals who negotiate their way into one more semester. That is as close as it gets.

    I have sat on ROTC scholarship boards. Part of my job in determining who got the scholarship was, does that person really want to serve in the military or is he just looking for us to pay his way. I have various ways of asking that question and you would be surprised how many fall into the trap of indicating they only want us to pay their way. Sorry that doesn't cut it with me. We aren't here to be your rich uncle.

    Yea right.....That's really going to fly well in the real world. This ain't the Free Bernie Sanders University. You either do the work assigned or its out the door you go.

    You should have seen my university when I ask someone about how math classes were taught with a TA who could speak English worth a darn.....Answer was..."We aren't here to teach you math. We are here to weed out the engineers. You should have learned this at a community college before coming here." and this was for an introductory calculus course.

    I though at least a 4 year term was mandatory for accepting Uncle Sam's cash for that. Unless you get kicked out.

    You get kicked out you must pay it all back. Uncle is funny that way.

    No depending on the service there are 1,2, & 4 yr all inclusive scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate school with many variations of course on what your goals were and the needs of the services.

    That's impossible to say with all the variations in student aid these days. One thing for certain its not the local populations who lives there all the time.
