Seeing as how the majority of the population of this server tends to lean more towards the adult age, the expectation of the intended definition of the words used would also lean towards these shared experiences. That's a pretty reasonable assumption and the amount of trolling in this rants and flames thread is subpar.
Negative.

They must not teach math as well in schools anymore:

7.25(current US Fed min wage)*2 = 14.5

10 is not almost 14.5.
And you sir, can't read. He did say almost minimum wage.

IMO
Schools for losers who think money will make them happy.
It's all about robbing people and getting shot.

Just thought I'd chime in with my own false claims of success and boast about my $25,000.00 college degree that I'll be paying for literally and emotionally for the rest of my life. I'm right there with all you other liars. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In a lot of fields it is easier to get an entry level position, especially in today's economy, without having a graduate degree. BA starting salary is lower then a MA or equivalent, which makes it easier to employ you.

I interview and recommend candidates for my school district, and currently am under instructions to only seriously consider those with a BA/BS.

There are many industries that are similar.

Obviously, if you want to pursue a career in law/medicine/etc. you need to get an advanced degree even to qualify for the minimum entry positions in that field.

Another thing to consider is that many top graduate schools in most programs (including MBA, MD, JD, etc.) give great consideration to older candidates who have work experience in a related field. If you have such experience your chances of getting into a top program are far greater than most 22 year olds coming straight from undergraduate programs.

It all really depends on what you plan to do, and what your options are. For many undergrads it is advantageous to go into the work force and gain experience rather than proceed directly to graduate work.

Also, when I was an undergrad I always took summer classes...I never once referred to it as "summer school"---though I guess it is. The term "summer school" is permanently associated with remedial forced classes for failure during the regular term in American English. I always took "summer semester courses."
