[kitchencabinetforum] THE NAKED TRUTH ABOUT COLLEGES

The naked truth about colleges is that a college degree is not worth the price of the sheepskin on which it's printed! College education is waste of time and money. The college bubble will burst soon, tearing down all ivory towers. The college degree payback is very long, an expensive education is not a guarantee to higher real wages, and it is not worth going to debt to finance it. http://venitism.blogspot.com

A widespread public skepticism is fueled by poor job prospects. Real wages, that is, what you earned after you subtracted inflation and taxes, entered a freefall in the past two decades. Rather than be out of work, most citizens quietly settled for lower real wages.

When Obama became president, he set a stupid goal, calling for USA to regain its status as having the world's highest number of youth with college degrees. His latent goal though was to improve the unemployment figures by concentrating unemployeed youth and the drones of society to campuses!

A college education has a value relative to future earnings, vocational success,
and its ability to lift you above the economic burdens of underemployment and
stagnant earnings. Right now, that equation just doesn't measure up. The reward
to risk ratio of college education is the lowest of all possible investments. http://venitism.blogspot.com

In his stupid 2009 American Graduation Initiative, Obama outlined his support of community colleges and his plan to have five million more community college graduates by 2020. With students graduating from college with on average $25,000 in debt, Obama has taken aim at bringing down the skyrocketing costs.

Hey! I wish to deliver the keynote speech at your conference. My speeches leave the audience thinking something new or resolved to act, stir the emotions as well as appealing to reason, and show a sense of occasion. I get away with elevated language because my liberty cause is a noble one. I practice a colorful rhetoric enriched with alliterations, metaphors, heightened imagery, emotional effect, and sound bites. Basil Venitis, venitis@gmail.com

Peter Thiel, the superstar Silicon Valley investor, has famously dismissed college as a waste of time and money, and even offered students cash to drop out. Thiel has argued that the brightest young minds should strike out on their own and start companies rather than take on crushing debt to pursue a college degree.

The number of recipients of federal Pell Grants has grown from 6 million in 2008 to 9.8 million, and Obama will increase the amount of the award by $900 this fall. It will also continue to ease access to federal student aid, and work to increase tax credits for higher education, promote and strengthen the income-based loan repayment program passed by Congress in 2010, and support public-service loan forgiveness. But colleges have to figure out ways to constrain costs. There must be a shared responsibility.

Colleges are frauds. Many administrators rob the funds, many professors trade grades for kickbacks and sex, and most students dumb down! Anyone who wants to learn anything can do it much better on the Internet, without retreating to fraudulent concentration camps, called campuses. Allons enfants de la Patrie!

Completion by Design involves community colleges that are attempting to overhaul their students' experience. From the outset, the project insisted on the participation of representatives from state governments, in an effort to understand the policy barriers that make it difficult for organizations to effectively serve their student populations.

Hail! A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation of your organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, venitis@gmail.com

Colleges have little value, and their graduates cannot find jobs. They are an
embarrassment to education. Sending a child to a university is irresponsible.
Total college education, direct and indirect, including bygone salaries, costs
around 200,000 euros. That money would bring higher reward-to-risk ratio in any
other investment. College years are lost years.

Greece has the worst higher education system in Fourth Reich. The Greek Ministry of Education, George Orwell's Ministry of Truth or Minitrue in Newspeak, harasses all private colleges and their professors. Professors of private colleges are required to submit myriad papers certified by lawyers and pay heavy fees. Visiting Minitrue is a very humiliating experience as the building is open for the public only from 12 to 1:30pm, with infinite queues and wild goose chase from room to room. After a professor submits an application to Minitrue, he might have to wait up to fifty days for an answer!

Fourth Reich(EU) has penalized Greece many times for harassing its private colleges, but Orwellian Greece continues the harassment, because it's a matter of its damned socialistic principles. Minitrue has created a special abusive office, the Bureau of Post-Lyceum Education, whose only function is to harass private colleges! Even though the Greek private colleges are much better than the public colleges, the Grand Brothel on Syntagma Square, passed a law that graduates of public colleges should get higher salaries than the graduates of private colleges!

Greek public colleges are covered with communist graffiti, stray dogs and
communists run through buildings, professors pollute minds with socialist
propaganda, and students dream of immigrating to Anglosphere. Colleges have been
battered by kleptocracy and the cancer of socialism. Buildings aren't heated,
schools nest sinecures, and professors hate teaching and cannot publish. It's
hard to be hopeful with youth unemployment surpassing 50 percent, communists
seizing buildings, and professors spreading socialist nonsense.

Wow! Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of organizational climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation. I would like very much to speak at your conference in order to explain critical points much further. Basil Venitis, venitis@gmail.com
