A bit tangential but allow me to share an interesting anecdote. My MSc dissertation was on accounting for aeroplane fuel emission... during research I discovered an interesting fact; because of how the EU ETS (airline emissions regulations)

from what I've heard, the problem with moving sodium from lab to manufacturing is that all the industrial processes and machinery have been setup for lithium and the factories are reluctant to invest in entire new sodium setup for not

> No, the purpose of a college loan is to enable a student to pay for college with future earnings. Aren't you and I saying essentially the same thing? If you are taking a loan, there better be a job that helps pay for it.

Again, maybe I could have phrased things better, but I feel you are digging to deep into the analogy rather than seeing the broader picture that I was attempting to present. The point was that certifying/licensing exams have a more dir

I'm Pakistani, and I'm just stating the facts as I see them. Many countries have free college education, but at the end of the day some one has to pay for it, and those are the tax-payers. And frankly, if your country's tax p

I do too, but you need buy-in from your fellow tax-payers/voters if they are willing to fund it also. I live in a 3rd world country, and due to the limitation of our weak taxpayer base, we can afford to fund only limited number of seat

As in, you and the college can decide privately if they want to teach you XYZ in return for money from you. Getting tax payers to chip in brings in a 3rd party and then they have right to decide whether you get to learn or not.

Perhaps I should have written it a bit more clearer, but in my mind I was comparing degrees with certifications. I feel studies/degrees that have an associated certification (possibly legally mandated) linked to it should have a differ

The purpose of a college degree is NOT a job... but the purpose of a college LOAN is 100% a job, and it's very important to differentiate between the two. The whole point of the loan is to buy time; you don't want to wait for wh
