Good question and you are the only one who can nsawer it. The reasonable amount of debt to assume to attend college depends on your plans for repayment of that debt. For example, if you plan to work in the peace corp for years after you graduate, you probably wouldn’t like to have to be making loan repayments. However, if you know that your grandparents have left a trust for you and you have full access to those funds once you turn 25, then you might be willing to borrow as much as the trust is worth. FYI the average student debt upon graduation is running around $20,000 for a 4 year degree. Your question asks about interest if you mean what’s a reasonable interest rate, you should have to pay much higher than 8% as a student. As an aside, there are a couple of professions which qualify for college debt reduction, eg if you are a teacher in certain inner city schools.

Comment on Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning by Momo

Continuing education unit idcret is different than semester hour or quarter hour idcret. Continuing education courses are for self-enrichment, licensing requirements, and workforce development and not for getting a degree. You can not transfer them. But, you can use them for license renewals and job enhancement.As for all online education being a scam time to wake up to the present it’s not 1981 anymore. Just about every college in the US teaches online now. It’s simply another way to deliver classes. Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, UC-Berkeley, UCLA, etc are all teaching online now. So is your state school board (high school), local community college, and state U.Continuing education courses are really good for learning cool specialized stuff and for keeping your industry knowledge up-to-date. They’re not for getting a degree though.

Great question, Sam. Our IMCD program is accredited by the ICCRC, the regulatory body for Canadian Immigration Consultants. At Ashton College, we have full-time and part-time programs in Vancouver, a part-time program in Surrey, and an online course that operates without borders, of course.

Where is this programme taught and how accredited is it? I hear that laws are changing in a way that affects immigration consulting courses and its acceptability.

Regards,
Sam

Comment on The Second (more permanent) Recession by George E. Lopez

I believe in stupidity, not in recession, I believe in greed, not in good business practices, otherwise we would never be facing the present economical situation. There are so many important things lost in the top executives of the companies such as ethics, morals, self-respect, wisdom, generosity and overall accountability. Executives making phoney business, firing people, misleading stockholders, and taking huge bonuses, and after moving to other companies to make the same scam again.
I do not believe in recesion, I believe in stupidity and greed, nothing of this would be happening if the people had been wiser and more educated, we brought this over ourselves because we had been creating this associations and certifications that at the end means nothing, only white collar people taking comisions without even care about customers.
Not so long far ago, profesionals used to have ethics, they were educated people in the wide significance of the word, but then somebody decided that the common sense was of bad taste and we ended up with all this mess.
Are the good times coming back, no doubt about that, the people will come back to be more educated, the economy will shift fron the brutal open competitive market, to more controled markets, the free trade agreements will be revised and everybody will have the chance to make a decent income and living. If we are not goint to change the way that we are doing business today, then we should be prepare to leave to our childrens a country heading towards bankruptcy and poverty. I still holds on hope.

Ashton College is also walking distance to the Seabus terminal, it’s the cheapest way to see Vancouver from the water.
