My daughter's tuition bill just arrived: $4,400 for the semester at UNC.

Last year, it was $44,000 at a different school.

Same kid. Same major. Ten times the price.

She started at a private college out of state. Great school. But the department she cared about wasn't especially strong. The flights were miserable. Every semester cost as much as a new car. And she was homesick.

This year she transferred to UNC, which she'd originally gotten into and turned down. (Because what 18-year-old picks the school Dad wants?)

In-state tuition at one of the best public universities in the country turns out to be less than a lot of families spend on summer camp.

A friend put it well: one of the best things about North Carolina is that there's a college for almost anyone willing to put in the work. From essentially open-enrollment schools to UNC and Duke, you can find it without leaving the state.

Like most parents, I figured the price tag said something about the quality.

Then I watched my own kid find an equal or better education for one-tenth the cost, 20 minutes from home.

If your governor can marry a teenage 3rd wife for a 64 year old man through a mass wedding subsidy then he can subsidize petrol for you.

Must be ‘ment’

[Big Dee @Nedumooree]

If you're a married man or you're planning to get married, and your mother or siblings need any help, especially money from you, always tell them to call your wife.

Let the money you want to send them pass through your wife's account so that they will think she's the one sending them the money.

That's the only way to keep them loving your wife without any atom of hate.

There is nothing your governor can't subsidize for you. For FX, your state can establish a BDC, buy FX at market rate and resell to citizens at a subsidized rate. The same applies to petrol. Even BBL for ladies...

@_jeddaah Honestly, it’s kinda very unfair on the lady in a sense too. She was likely just following the new organization culture she had just been taught. But I guess naija culture supersedes company’s 🙂

[ARL @Az33zlawal]

There’s a reason it’s not the norm to call your Professor by his or her first name in America sha. Even in the cultures we desperately want to be like so badly, first name basis is largely not universal.

[ARL @Az33zlawal]

@_jeddaah In all, I agree with you that it’s very unnecessary. Just stick to what you want and find acceptable. It is what is tho

[ARL @Az33zlawal]

@_jeddaah Tbh it’s mostly just a posture of progressiveness, especially when it’s never woven into the fabric of their businesses. To them, having those policy statements make them look ‘cool’, and even if they try to stick to it, our societal culture of respect mostly still prevails.

It’s the best place to learn about new things with our varied interests. Men mostly enjoy being well-rounded.

men like youtube a lot, they’re always watching something
it’s probably their favorite app.

[ARL @Az33zlawal]

Lol I understand she probably fell for the “we all go by first name” code of the organization. All the places I worked in Nigeria had same policy, but we all knew that ‘shoe’ had size. Nobody was ready to find out by calling Mr. Ariyo Oshe “Ariyo” or Mr Segun Agbaje “Segun”.

[With all my love, Lala🦋 @Wakaholic_nurse]

It’s well🙏🏾

Same. Honorable mention is health and wellness. Outside of those, I no get interest.

[Ewgi @Ssaasquatch]

I’ve become almost disgustingly uninterested in anything that doesn’t bring money to my pocket. It’s probably not the healthiest way to live but my brain has become ruthlessly allergic to anything that feels economically unproductive.
