The USA needs to be more like Germany and treat degrees and trade school as the same. Giving differing attitudes obvs put us in our current situation

First, Evan Spiegel and Miranda Kerr's gift was fantastic ! All of the students are so lucky to have their college paid off ! Second, at least these students were INFORMED that they graduated ! I was NOT informed and I missed my SPRING 2021 graduation ! So, two more years have gone by with LOST wages ! There were so many crimes and abuses that transpired, it was insane at CCSU, in New Britain, CT ! I just found out about the graduation, less than a month ago, by just looking up my name on the internet, and I am infuriated ! Third, I have been paying for over 15+ years toward my undergraduate while getting horribly victimized in the process ! This is all true, and I am still waiting for justice and financial restitution ! Last, at least Evan Spiegel and Miranda Kerr give me hope that there are individuals in our society (within the US ) that actually have morals and a heart ❤️.

And these are the rich people we need in the world. They make it a better place. Let’s continue to give. Pay forward everyone. ❤

And they took the art degrees and got jobs at…Target 🇺🇸

I agree with Tony. College is not the only path you can pursue. Trades are dying and need an influx of new people.

[@daynaal-shammary5141]

That is what I wish everyone would do if they can. You don’t always have to pay it forward with cash. There are other things you can do. Sometimes just be nice to someone that needs a little cheering up. Help a neighbor with yard work if for some reason they can’t do it. Grow extra veggies I. Your garden a give to neighbors. Just small things sometimes are the biggest help to someone in need.

They paid for all those useless degrees

[@rageguy311]

Humanities isn't a strong suit for you

[@zero2007us]

Those "useless" degrees helped create everything you use daily, like the keyboard for your misguided comment. It's a shame you can't see the value in them, isn't it?

[@AF-wy8ib]

@zero2007us Pretty sure you don't need a degree in 17th century Roman history to create a keyboard lol but nice try

[@zero2007us]

Who majored in 17th-century Roman History in this video? If you didn't grasp the video, give it another watch. There are captions available if you need them.@@AF-wy8ib
