You can parse this argument forever on what 'college' means vs trade school etc. But rather than be caught up with semantics,-- higher education, whatever and however you define or categorize it, is always the investment with the highest ROR.

It depends on the degree but you are more likely to get a good job if you have one.

Steven Puderbaugh

The country will always need educated people: writers, scientists, mathematicians, musicians that no vocational school can educate.

Patricia Bond

It provides professional training that will last a lifetime. I completed my Bachelor's degree and Master's Degree and has served me well throughout my life in employed and personal growth.

Teresa Parsons

Worthless us you become a Dr.

Fred Colbern

I have NO respect for the "technical" people that come from college engineering schools. They are nothing but a bunch of overeducated techno-computer nerds who think they are better than the rest of us.

Renee Xoxx

The only reason your Master's Degree serves you well is because society only "counts" formal education. Case in point with yes #1. I understand the need to ascertain that person can perform the duties of his or her chosen profession, but another demonstration could as easily suffice.

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

k san

No, that's too big a generalization. However, those owners should never let their pet off-leash in those areas.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?

Switched to YouTube from Cable like it so much better because of what we normally watch is programmed for us.

Adam Nixon

I'd say it's like 60/40 in favor of things like user generated content, but it has more to do with time than anything else. Due to things like work and chores, I just don't have time during the day for movies/TV. But for a few hours in the evening, I tend to watch more movies/TV, which I prefer.

Andrew Cozzini

This is one of those where I'm voting the honest truth, even though I'd prefer it be the other (while still making time for Geekvolution, of course). I think it's because of how casually I can spend hours on YouTube, as opposed to being intentional about catching up on content I intend to consume.
