Ahh typical conservative. Afraid of progress. How do you know something isn't broke if you don't fix it. Sounds like your scared of change. Especially change that might not give an unfair advantage to males In reply to Dave McElroy.

You didn't deal with same issues. Please tell me when your generation talked about Affirmative Action. You are delusional of the subject. It was 20 times easier to get a bank loan and school loan in your generation. The cost of living has sky rocketed when entry level jobs with the population is low. Please tell us how house prices in your generation was around 30,000 now it 200,000 minimum for a small house. It's your generation with gender pay gap that over paid male CEOs. Your generation feed into trickle down system. America is in huge debt because your generation lol In reply to Dave M.

The "pressure cooker" you refer to is called life. Start now to learn how to make decisions for you, accepting both the good and the bad. Break things down and things won't seem so overwhelming. And yes, it's a whole lot easier for me to say than for you to do. Welcome to adulthood 101. Didn't know there were/are other McElroys around here. Allow me to add this.

You are the same age as my grandkids and I can tell you that I dealt with the same issues. I am now 68 and though I have made efforts, I do not have anywhere near the financial resources that my parents did. To be honest, it really, really hurts. I do wish you the best of luck.

Same credits and less money. The SAT tests how you take the SAT, not how you do in college. Statistically men do better on the SAT but females do better in college. The SAT and ACT is worthless Community colleges are the way to go. Same credits and less money. The SAT tests how you take the SAT, not how you do in college.
