'14 JUCO DT Davonte Lambert (Auburn Commit 12/18/13)

[jave36]

Thanks for the article. I would like to point out to take it with a grain of salt. The "network engineer" they interviewed actually makes less than some csci majors coming out of school. I think they cherry picked a particular profession that happens to be in high demand in the Nashville area to make their biased point. I do agree that it does make a lot of fiscal sense to look at CC. I would also recommend that people choose a degree that hopefully will be in demand in their lifetime. (Philosophy really??) :crazy:

Ya that article is bogus. They obviously didn't major in stats at any college, because the sample size for such a huge claim is awfully small.

and on average 2 year college grads make more than 4 year grads

Community college grads out-earn bachelor's degree holders - Feb. 26, 2013

Talk about a completely misleading article.

. . . and on the other hand, people saying JUCO classes are easy A's have no clue.

That is a fluff piece on CC.

The only legitimate statistic is the "30% of CC grads make more than the average bachelor degree holder," and even that if incorrectly stated.

The rest of the numbers in that article aren't associated with any study and are based on erroneous numbers from CareerBuilder.com.

In my experience, college grads that go back and take C.C. classes find them mind-numbingly slow and incredibly easy.

People who have not gone to a traditional college fill in the gamut from in over their head to mind-numbingly slow and incredibly easy.

theres no way that someone with an associates makes more than a bachelors.

There are several with high school diplomas that make more. That apple guy...that burger guy with the little girl with red pigtails....that guy down the street that owns a small co....just saying. Paper degrees mean absolutely zero for lifetime earnings.

Agreed. The college degree is a door opener. Doesn't necessarily mean bigger paycheck.

I don't buy that at all. There are always cases where people do OK despite their education and where a degree gets somebody nowhere. But on average, the more education one has, the more income they are going to generate.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

I don't buy that at all.

Not in todays economic environment.

Over the course of 40-50 years, there's no way it doesn't matter. And, in fact, in a tight labor market like we've got now, education might actually be MORE important.

 

[OrangeDog]

I don't even believe his name is Davonte Lambert to be honest with you. The cat is probably lying about that. His name is probably David Keith, and he is a punter from Idaho.

& now we hear that he is actually a CAT?

That does explain why he couldn't pass.

"Although these figures vary widely by profession, associate's degree recipients, on average, end up making about $500,000 more over their careers than people with only high school diplomas, but $500,000 less than people with bachelor's degrees, the Georgetown center calculates."

I would like to see what Georgetown Community College calculates.

I do feel that Athletes that graduate from a 4 year school (i.e. Peyton Manning) make about $500,000 more per work week than the average Associate's Degree recipient.

That article said 30% of associate degree graduates make more than 4 year bachelor graduates. So, on average, 2 year college grads make less than 4 year grads.

I think it is clear that the article was posted here by a CC graduate..................

 

[SigNu_VolFan]

I think the entire point here has been, regardless of how easy or difficult a community college can be, that a 4 year university will be to some degree more difficult. There's a reason that universities sign and place their strong, academically inferior athletes in Junior Colleges, and the reason is not for them to obtain a high quality education. They enter an institution with lower standards, fluff up their grades, and move to an institution with higher standards.

It's not like today's economic conditions never happened before. A useful bachelor's degree is worth more than any AA. The problem people have is they get a useless degree in sociology, history, psychology, and won't be able to get a job.

Eh, not necessarily factual. There is some strong evidence that every year of higher education someone completes, the average lifetime earnings increase.

Nailed it.

No lie. I cringe every time I see one of those majors and just hope they're planning on grad school.

It's done. Let's move on.

GO VOLS!!!

How hard a JC class is depends on the teacher. I am in a JC because I can't afford university education yet. I've had some really hard classes, and some really easy ones. JC is the minor leagues for universities though.

I agree with you. My major is actually economics, and I want grad school. It's not university's fault. It's the fault of the idiot who chose their major.
