That $35K for an advanced degree in puppetry

It’s not a faculty adviser’s job to dissuade Thierren (the victim of this con) from getting an MFA in puppetry:
the kid’s just following his passion! It’s not an instructor’s job to dissuade Thierren: he’s just one face out of twenty-four in the crafts seminar. It’s not the registrar’s job to dissuade him from taking useless classes: in fact, the registrar will help him get into whatever classes he wants if the seats are available. It’s not the treasurer’s job to dissuade him from signing over a check: they’ve got administrators begging them for more funds every day. And it’s not the loan officer’s job to dissuade the kid either. And so the buck keeps getting passed, thirty-five thousand times. -- this is your payback, moneygrabber | Periscope Depth

Your Say

I hold a BFA, visual and went to school to get it. I also took the necessary courses to damn near double major in botany.

OK, fine art is what I do as well as photography; I never had any illusion that riches were forthcoming because I announced my exit from Ivyland.

Some people are just too stupid to be educated and Pell Grants are not helping in this matter.
