Reply to comment by zerobot in OA Evaluation Scores and interviews for a PA job application by lalalewhatever
Thanks for posting this. It’s been very frustrating scoring 100s as well and not even getting an interview. I’ve been doing the same position for years in the contractor sector and all I’m trying to do is get a stable job with benefits.

Heaven forbid we fund education and spreading knowledge instead of warfare and destruction. 🤔

You don’t understand curves or lack reading comprehension.

Funk that. Cut costs like the rest of the citizens that don't have access to tax dollars.

> transport in my car to a range
Just a friendly FYI so you don't accidentally run afoul of the law: in PA you cannot have a loaded handgun in a vehicle unless you have a carry permit. So be sure it's unloaded and secure while in transit. If you're looking at a rifle or shotgun, you cannot have it loaded while in a vehicle period, regardless of carry permit.

Ohio, Delaware, and NJ are flat as pancakes and don't have the road challenges we do with the geography and climate coming together into a perfect storm of road maintenance. Also they have fewer cars. (Well Ohio has slightly more registered vehicles, but fewer people, so fewer cars on the road at any given time)
NY has similar climate / geography / number of drivers but it gets to be subsidized by the largest and richest friggin city in the whole damn country.

And get rid of worthless degrees. Why do we need a degree in philosophy again? Come on it’s common sense. Communications? Unless there is a specific career path tied to a degree, I’m sorry, but these colleges have to cut the fat.
Keep the downvotes coming! Cmon people we can study philosophy and communication, but we do not need separate departments for both. I can’t believe this is even a serious discussion. I absolutely agree with cutting bloated administrative costs, but there has to be a better way to educate students, other than basically useless departments and majors.

As Dan Savage always says, if kids got raped by clowns as often as they get raped by preachers it would be illegal to take your kids to the circus.

We could reduce the size of our bloated legislature and reallocate those funds to higher education.

On average university admins are 4x larger than they were in the 1990s. That is literally where most of the increased cost of tuition goes.

Administrative bloat account for massive amount of (wasted) spending in education and healthcare settings.
Social programs account for a bigger percentage of the federal budget than the military does.

Why are we giving them any funding if they aren't even "state" schools?
Fucking what.
