Real question: If people are that good at grinding (it is a legit skill), why don't they go for something better, like a 4-year university degree in STEM or medicine? They can make much more money.
Also, how do they decide which students to pick? And I would love to know the gender ratio.
- meroes 6mo agoOne reason is rad tech and similar are all over Tik Tok. Another reason is these people know how to grind, but can’t afford a 4 year program.
- throwaway2037 6mo ago> but can’t afford a 4 year program I thought there has been a huge increase in need-based scholarships for US university fees in the last 15 years. More than just rich schools. Many state universities also offer quite good need-based scholarships based upon your own income + net worth and that of your parents.
- meroes 5mo agoYes state schools are. That’s why it’s so competitive as well. $4-$6k at the state school vs $50K+ at private. There’s one state school for my program within 100 miles of me (physical therapy assistant) And a four year program is still 2 extra years of tuition even at the subsidized amount, and most would work fewer hours if at all because they need high GPAs.
