Agreed. It should also extend to voc-tech schools continuing ed programs. People who have gotten degrees sometimes find that career isn't working, or has dried up and need to switch gears. Older people looking for a job that will carry them through "retirement" could make themselves more attractive to potential employers by getting a second degree. A more fluid job market and better prepared workers could increase fair wages and better hiring practices.

That's unfortunate, but hopefully enrollment would shoot way up if it were free. For many people the cost, even though it's relatively inexpensive, is a lot of money to part with

They would probably need admission tests/requirements if the demand is high enough.
I support completely free state schools for students, but I think we need to limit what majors people can go for. Like I love history but it's not the most useful thing to have an abundance of.

They came to GCC and I met several of their animals, as I said. They were all happy and healthy and handled properly.

> because obviously class sizes are limited
Most community college are cancelling classes these days due to low enrollment. They might seat 20, for example, and have 14 in one and only three in another. So they cancel the second section and just move those students into the first if they can. Other times they'll cancel classes altogether.
When I teach adjunct it's about $2,500 for a semester to teach a full load (at least nine students). For every student less than that you get a pay cut, so most adjuncts won't teach for less than a full load. My class this coming spring only has five students, but I said I'd teach it anyway and it's only like $1,400 for approximately 16 weeks of work.

No, it increases costs for most users. The lowest cost methods would either be tuition free or no financial aid at all.

Casey would need to physically be halfway inside and halfway outside so he could claim he wasn't smoking inside.

Generally there are minimum requirements for the number of places that need to be inspected after the work is performed, but it's not 100%. Usually it's more like 50% of places where work has been done will be inspected to ensure the work conforms to applicable laws and regulations.

I always supported free Community College but it should be everyone 18 and up, with priority given to people without a college degree already (because obviously class sizes are limited).

Best answer! You sir, have done Reddit a huge service by assisting the OP in navigating the real world and using a telephone to discuss the issue directly with the other party involved.

I had the blown in insulation done. There are sometimes cavity's in the walls that they can't fill for some reason, the framing or pipes, openings at the bottom stuff like that.
When I had it done they had to do a report afterwards, they used the thermal camera to review the insulation, it had to cover a certain percentage of the house, then that had to put a report on the wall next to the electric panel that it had been certified.

Reply to Anyone here old enough to remember Mass having one area code? by Fisk75
617 and 413 are an interesting case, because early area codes had lower numbers in higher populated areas. (212 for NYC, 213 for LA and 312 for Chicago). So theoretically Eastern mass should have gotten 413 and 617 should have been reserved for Terre des Dragons
