Profs + professionals working on new way to get university grade education + marketplace training at less than 1% of the cost of traditional degrees. Stay tuned

Hi everyone! We are working on a new way for people to get a university grade education as well as relevant marketplace training without the crippling debt and political propaganda that often has nothing to do with the topics of the classes. Stay tuned!

[Better than College @better_college]

@charliekirk11 Agreed! There are many other options for education besides college, and some of us professors are working on more affordable options for students so they learn marketplace-relevant skills, critical thinking, and communication without being in debt.

@charliekirk11 @DonaldJTrumpJr @EricTrump @seanhannity Some university professors, including myself, are working on alternatives to college that will cost less than 1% of a traditional degree. We value students & critical thinking, science, logic, sound ethics, & marketplace relevance, because teaching is an enormous responsibility.

@charliekirk11 @benshapiro @DennisPrager @prageru @jordanbpeterson I have a B.A., an M.A., and a Ph.D., and I agree with you. Many university professors are obsessed with brainwashing the students instead of teaching them science, critical thinking, logic, ethics, and real information. Some of us are working on alternatives though.

@charliekirk11 @benshapiro @DennisPrager @prageru @jordanbpeterson Yep, many of us professors have real world experience though, and we teach real critical thinking, and we're working on college alternatives. For now, coding boot camps, trade schools, and apprenticeships are viable alternatives to the groupthink of many universities.

@MattWalshBlog I have attended four universities and I have a BA, MA, and PhD, and I agree that not everyone should go to college and that many majors are useless in the employment field. I've worked in the field and teach full-time.

@madhousewife7 @MattWalshBlog Coding boot camps, apprenticeships, and certifications are effective alternatives to four-year degrees. Or, go to a community college for two years before transferring.

@JamesCHathaway1 @MattWalshBlog James some of us professors with real world professional experience are working on such initiatives, certifications that cost less than 1% of traditional degree tuition.

[Better than College @better_college]

@sherryhanna53 @MattWalshBlog Agreed.

[Better than College @better_college]

@TheMarkLeClaire @MattWalshBlog I have a BA, MA, and PhD and I agree with you. Degrees are required to be a doctor, engineer, etc., and some fields can help if the professors have professional experience. But we should not "look down" on trade schools, apprenticeships, certifications, coding boot camps, etc.

[Better than College @better_college]

@MattWalshBlog Many programs are totally worthless. Many professors just brainwash students instead of teach them to critically think. However, many professors are effective and lead students to great jobs, too. Some of us are working on college alternatives that cost less than 1% of tuition.

Interesting. Student loan debt has ballooned so much that helping pay it off is a selling point for some cities and towns to try to get recent graduates to more there. https://t.co/NRETPj7eGG

Soon it will be a new year, what are your educational goals for 2018? 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@jennafischer This is simply NOT TRUE. You need to delete this tweet. It's spreading misinformation. We also need to better train people on how to separate fact from fiction.

@Jenniferhoffman @JustanotherJk @AndyOistins @ThomasWictor Nice! Game design is definitely a growing area.

[Better than College @better_college]

@JustanotherJk @Jenniferhoffman @AndyOistins @ThomasWictor I have an MA and PhD and I agree with you. I am one of the professors with professional experience though, not only degrees, and my students have gotten jobs in graphic design, pr, journalism, web management, etc. Trade schools are definitely a viable option.

[Better than College @better_college]

@MargoWatroba @EdLatimore Exactly, Margo. While many degrees lead to excellent jobs, many do not. And as far as job training and marketplace relevance, certifications and apprenticeships can be just as valuable.
