Originally I wasn’t attempting to infer anything more than my distaste for being told what I want. And, made note, that I do know people who aren’t about money. And, as noted, I understand the reasoning behind the line of print, however distasteful I felt it.

Generally speaking, yes, students think they’re going to make more by going to college and getting a “higher education.” You addressed that fallacy in articles over the last two semesters … too bad most people can’t see the forest from the trees and smell their own ???? on their knees. There’s a saying I like in this context, but it never fully awakens the enlightened side (self realization) of things in people: Ignorance is bliss until your pissed on.

I’ll make this my last for this article.

It doesn’t say that college kids are in it for the money as you seem to infer, even though that’s generally true.

In general, students — our audience and our readers — want money, even if a capitalist economy makes them sick to their stomachs and even if they fight the power by only paying a portion of their taxes.

Students want money not because they’re greedy, as I infer is your interpretation, but because they need to pay the bills.

It’s a pragmatic decision.

True point, now unshrouded: The lede is fine.

Oh, and by the way — thanks for reading and respecting. ‘Preciate it.

As for $$$, Ben, you have 0 (zero, nil, nothing) to say about this, all things considered, some of your publishings on education over the last 2 semesters (which I respect). Otherwise, point number 1 was moot as soon as you wasted time typing it.

Ben, though your true point is shrouded (come clean buddy) … I get it …

Megan,
Apologies. I was being a bit “obtuse” myself in posting some of my thoughts last night (not just yours, but others as well).

Cheers, All.

Two rules of thumb:

1. Cog. Sci. majors could never be about the money. They also aren’t representative of the college population.

2. Never trust people with garish Web sites.

Sorry. I was trying for a more creative approach than the standard “Hey, here’s some events going on.” You’re right, a college paper is to hone skills, and sometimes in trying to experiment with something different, it doesn’t work well. But sometimes I don’t know until I try. Thanks for the feedback, and I’ll pay attention to this in the future.

That’s okay … we all know that the reason behind a College newspaper is to hone skills for the real world. Some have it naturally, and some have to try hard.

Just my $0.02, aside from the fact that this is the first full sentence I read in today’s Collegian – kinda ticked me off.

My first thought:
Could someone in news, professional, or pre-professional really be that obtuse to phrase something that way. Wrong way to start off an article. I’m not about money. I know other people who aren’t about money, but more for substance (though this is a dying breed).

No kudos for you. Try again some other time.
