Good question, and adding to NLWC is an interesting idea.
Opprobrious. Now that is a word you rarely if ever see anymore. It is interesting how words come into and out of fashion or their original meaning gets replaced to where using the word in its original meaning is almost impossible. I was recently reading an older book on an archaeological excavation at Masada where they used the then current word for a bundle of sticks. That word meaning has sure changed!
I got confused by the title of this board. Football ...
The generation now and before got feed that line of BS ( you need a degree), now we have 2 generations of people with degrees that don’t apply to what a lot are doing and being hand feed on the job for multiple yrs just to do their job on a basic level. I would guess half the kids 🧒 n college now do not get into a job that directly correlates to their degree.

Well, this is the wrestling forum and we mostly talk about bike racing. it's easy to get confused.
You only qualify for SOL, not NIL
Psalm 1 - I know someone who got his degree at UCSD which is a good school. After graduating, he decided to go into plumbing and is doing very well for a guy his age. I’m not sure what prompted him to go that route rather than choosing a career path that requires a college degree, but overall, I think he made a smart choice. He likes the work and he’s able to take good care of his family.https://www.cbsnews.com/moneywatch?ftag=CNM-16-10abg0d
More than half of college graduates are working in jobs that don't require degrees
Data show that many college grads are underemployed, spending years in jobs that don't utilize their education.www.cbsnews.com
"More than half of Americans who earned college diplomas find themselves working in jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree or utilize the skills acquired in obtaining one. What's worse, they can get stuck there for the entirety of their careers."

I have an engineering degree and an MBA. (Yep, not evidenced by most of my posts

Mike Rowe has been beating this drum for years now. For those with a good work ethic there are well paying blue collar jobs out there. UCSD is a highly rated school, but it does sound like your friend made a good decision for himself. I know you have to be bright to get accepted into UCSD, but my police interactions with some of those students made me question their common sense!
This is good advice.I have an engineering degree and an MBA. (Yep, not evidenced by most of my posts
I work in high tech and have had my job under constant threat of workforce reduction for the past 20 years. The work is high pace, high demand, and high stress. Of the 10 guys in my work Fantasy Football league from the 2000 era, I am the sole survivor still at the company, nearly all left involuntarily.
When I hired we had profit sharing, 2 shares for 1 employee stock purchase, a retirement plan, generous stock grants and options, bonus, retiree medical, and the list goes on... Today, I have my 401k and that is it for retirement. I haven't had a raise in 3 years, but we still can earn bonus and some limited grants. Cascading CEOs eliminated virtually every really nice perk. Retirement is 67 or later for me.
1-2 days a month during the summer I take a weekday off to golfing. The courses are chock full of state workers, cops, firemen all retired at 50 with 80-90% pay. Some on their second career laughing all the way to the bank. Almost all retired cops are on stress related disability tax free retirement. I see a fair amount of tradesmen - electricians, plumbers, ... One thing they all seen to have in common? They are happy and have virtually no real stress.
My advice for kids today. Seriously consider not going to college if you have a vision for your future in one of the trades or entrepreneurship, and if you do go, take your time and work while going, and avoid accumulating any debt. Student loans are for suckers and the impatient, and a poor ROI especially in the arts and humanities.
Had I the option to do it all over again, knowing what I know now. Pass on the MBA, and get a public sector job with a retirement plan (that isn't going bankrupt
@Pitchfork Rebel Do you happen to work for the company that bought that division? In the WB area? I ask because I have a friend that made the change. I could be more specific but wanted to leave it to your discretion.
Ditto - same deal with a family member. Works from home for about 2-3 hours and works his farm all afternoon. He’s bad 3 bosses in the last 2 years and has never met is current boss in person. On the other hand, he claims his performance appraisal rates him as excellent. Of course there are many hard working federal ee’s, but, there’s a lot of hanky banky too.
That's fair, I knew a lot of kids, mostly from wealthy families, that were pretty much only at college for the experience. I washed dishes all through college, which wasn't anywhere close to enough to make a dent on my school expenses mostly just spending money for while I lived there, and took out loans for the rest. But, I got an Enigneering degree, have a pretty comfortable salary in my early 30s especially for where I live, and get probably 10+ cold calls/emails from recruiters a week. So if I had the choice I would definitely do it over again. I book a lot of tradesmen at my job and while yeah they definitely get paid well, a lot of that can be physically demanding work. I don't want to be in my 50s sweating my ass of outside rebuilding a 400 ton chiller in July. Pretty much 100% of them complain about back problems, knee replacements, etc. It's good pay with a low cost to entry, but the wear and tear those jobs put on your body can't be ignored.
PSU will increase scholarships when more scholarships are endowed.
it would have costed 2 billion or more for a new stadium. spending 700 to make it more functional is okay
Redshirt = rostered. That doesn't provide relief from the cap.
Seems like this shifting landscape will just further consolidate elite recruitment in the PSUs, Iowas, and Okie States of the world given their superior staying power.
Correct they (D3) do not give Athletic scholarships. They do give academic scholarships which are often adjusted if the student plays a sport.
