Education & Reference - 6 October 2007

I'm going to college in the fall of 2008 for Architecture, and its required that I need a laptop. That not a problem. I know that college loans pay for laptops if you need one. But the thing I was wondering is. I have a computer now, and when I get my student loans I'm going to go by a mac book pro. The thing is I go on vacation to the Caribbean in January of 2008, and I want to take a laptop with me. Can I get a apple visa card and then when I get my student loans, pay it off? Can it work like that?

The average teacher salary in Michigan, for 2005-2006 was $56,973, only California, Conneticut, and DC were higher. A 10% cut would make it $51,275, which would make them the thirteenth highest paid. Would this help Michigan's financial problems?

If they go on strike, fire them. There are 37 states with teacher salaries lower than the new, reduced Michigan salaries, and teachers in those states would be happy to go to Michigan for a pay raise.

states are required to pay for public schools..economically it just makes sense you make more money with an education, also the state benefits from this, along with your community.

statistics show that with a highschool education you make about 4 times more money than without, and with a college education you make 3 times more money than a highschool education, so like 12 times more than no edcation.
If states pay for school up to highschool, why not pay for college? The only thing i can think of is that a state educated person might leave to another state but from a national perspective barely anyone educated in the united states leaves.
Why waste money on sports stadiums and other investments when you can diretly help a states citizens... also what business investment can pay back for itself 4 times over in about 2 decades almost guranteed?
college costs 20k min 40k max highschool salery 45k college salary 90k through income taxes alone it would pay back for itself in abou 6y?

In the dining room Mrs Campbell asks about the menu. She is told, “We don’t give them any choice – they’re so confused everything tastes the same. Some of the vegetarians eat minced beef without knowing it as they think it is Soya mince”
