lostfan Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Don't you just hate it when you are out of work for longer than a couple of days, and you divide/delegate the things you are normally responsible for among your co-workers in a relatively simple way, and you come back and they either haven't bothered to do it or they've f***ed everything up?

Balta1701 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Who in the world would pay that much money for a crappy diploma from that school? A Purdue University diploma can be yours for $36,000 -- plus shipping and handling. But this bachelor's degree in psychology won't have your name inscribed on it. Instead, it will be Nick Enlow's. The 2008 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis graduate is trying to hawk his diploma on eBay this week in hopes of paying off a student loan debt -- and as a warning to would-be college students. "Going to college made my life worse," Enlow said Wednesday from near Jacksonville, Fla., where he lives. "That is something that I don't keep to myself. I tell everyone." His line of thinking isn't the kind that Purdue officials find amusing, nor are they too keen on the auction itself. But Enlow, 29, said he considers himself stuck in indentured servitude to Sallie Mae, his lender, because he is unable to get a decent-paying job with his current degrees to start paying a $470 monthly student loan bill. In addition to the Purdue diploma, he obtained a philosophy degree from IU through IUPUI. That one is not for sale. Dude, just for allowing me to read that last line I'll chip in $10. Take donations somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a Master's in most states. The degree opens a few business doors in sales and marketing, sometimes in HR. Not a lot of direct school to jobhs links.

Well, the San Bernadinos and the Sierra Nevada, but those systems are still dominated by the presence of the Pacific Ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
