Is this...a joke?

CNET and Inside Higher Ed don't think so...

Then there's this person. Imagine having that story be the first thing that comes up if a prospective employer looks your name up online.

I occasionally look myself up- real name and all of my (very few ) online aliases- on the Internet to see what might turn up in a background check by a potential employer or law enforcement. Forewarned is forearmed.

Most of what I’ve found was pretty innocuous, but there’s a couple things I’m glad I found so I could easily address them. One was an article detailing the indictment of someone who was charged with vehicular homicide. Fortunately, I’m clearly older.

The other big one ( ) was a link to a profile sharing my name that led to the ancc holder’s uncensored, explicit photo gallery for a gay hookup site in Southeast Asia. Proving I have nothing to do with it would be both challenging and easy. Easy because I don’t resemble any of the pictures in the gallery. Challenging because there were no pictures of the account owner’s face.

Yikes.

And here I thought the whole point was to actually learn something. Silly me.

The point seems to be 'train the ai agent through feeding it my university education, so I dont get a job after I graduate'.

I wonder if it was a bit more about learning (or at least honesty) before much of the country decided to make college tuition a lot more expensive in exchange for massive state funded scholarships that required a B average to keep. Now instead of that disastrous semester making you have to work over the summer to pay for another half year it costs you the lost $x0,000 in lost scholarship to get up to and through your regularly scheduled 4th year and another $x0,000 for the make-up semester.

Admin fees make up most of the increase. Having spoken with the top engineers from China and India, they also say Americans don't stand a chance. The education system is too broken at the primary level.

It's plausible that tuition becoming so expensive that practically no one can afford it without scholarships, grants, or loans (or other financial aid) has put a lot of people in the position of needing their college education (or at least the piece of paper they get at the end of it) to matter more to potential employers than it really should.

Apropos of nothing, I know one job that will always exist here: goalpost mover. I’ve never seen so many goalposts moved in so many different threads.
