Don't waste your time when has California ever really given anything out for free 😂😂😂😂 and if it is free it's most likely useless like food stamps and SSI which combined is enough about 5 days in a motel and food for maybe a week. So maybe just a little better than this offer. Which you think actual degrees are useless wait till you graduate JC which is literally the equivalent of graduating from HS. Girl I know managing a boba shop has a degree in psychology from Berkeley and that was the best job she could get. Thankfully her family helps out alot so her 20 an hr doesn't make her rent requirements.

Go for it 👍

Congrats on making the decision to go back to school, make sure you go to a career path that pays well. PASSION DOESN'T PAY BILLS! A good paying job keeps a roof over your head and funds hobbies that lead to small businesses. Study hard and take advantage of this opportunity!

thats a lie, nothing is "really" free, if people work at a place it means someone is paying for it, in this case, it's the tax-payer, people don't work for charity unless they're getting something out of it

it's literally not free. taxpayers for it. forever. at no point in those 'paradises' does the citizen stop paying for someone else's way. their healthcare is substandard to ours in so many ways, and as a matter of fact if a person can afford it there they have private health insurance. our liberal media never mentions that. indeed, there are a lot of things our media deliberately doesn't mention or our teachers won't teach. why does it need to be free? because you exist? sorry, that's just not a good enough reason. america is supposed to be about merit and exceptionalism. i hate to say it, but people like you make it weak, it dilutes the pool. the only difference between the haves and have nots should be the difference between the ones who work for it and earn it and the ones who wants it handed to them. ya want it? earn it. need money for an education? get a loan, then pay it back. want lower tuition fees? vote to have government keep out of it, they instantly make whatever they're involved in at least twice as expensive.

Your name suits you, SAP. It's not free.

@@shalomsobji5448 If we area already paying for it... why not take advantage of it...

@@QuickStix26 I'm trying to find the not free part of this... wanna share what you know? Is it only 1 semester free? Are you talking about the cost of books? Or are you like the previous guy where it comes in the form of taxes...

Someone should tell the school to not profit off from, and exploit these poor kids. Librarian lol.

Hey don't sleep, contrary to popular belief, in the bay area cities pay librarians quite well. Oakland $40-49/hr SF $41-50, not the most lucrative in the Bay but I was very surprised to see there paid a decent wage.

People can still be librarians. There are libraries dedicated to the preservation of many topics. Literature, music, bones, media, art, and you need experts in those areas that can direct you to material/references if you want to write a paper or article or just do some research.

@@vickman141 And how many librarian jobs are there in the Bay Area?

Ok. There are still librarians, but this was funny😂

😂😂😂😂 please I know someone with a degree in psychology from uc Berkeley the actual university and she manages a boba shop managing high school kids. None of them make a livable wage. Her parents had to get her an apartment.

Nah they do; they’re just too lazy to go and would rather take hand outs and blame it on rich people.

Damn, when I went in 2002 it was $11 per unit

@@PelosiStockPortfolio Indeed, if I remember correctly, it was $23 and it dropped to $11 and it increased slowly to around $45 now.

I know, i was shocked at the price per unit in san antonio tx. I couldnt afford it.

in the 60 it use to be free and then reagan messed it up

When I attended Merritt in Oakland in 1979 tuition was free. Tuition at CCs has been free or close to free ever since I can remember.

Nothing is free 😂

Good for you, congratulations!

they will reimburse you at the end of semester

I bet they probably have online classes.

OURS

Yes some things are almost free, people just might not have bothered to make inquiries, take Australia University is free (but only for those who study and not miss classes and get bad grades). Its free in a sense. You pay back when you start working at at a reasonable pace.

To be fair, engineering majors are quite applicable to real life, earning very substantial amounts of money in industry. Nursing majors and business majors are good choices, too.

they paid for it with a lifetime of taxes

@@malcriadamedina5358 Californians already pay taxes... finally finding a program that could be of use..

Nothing is irrelevant

and you would rather tax dollars go to bailing out bankers, or perhaps never-ending foreign wars? Investing in humans through education is the best way to spend money.

That hard working factory worker can also take a class or two for free 👍

@@pwp8737 *"and you would rather tax dollars go to bailing out bankers,"* No, I wouldn't. Is that the basis of your argument? *"never-ending foreign wars?"* Depends on the war. If there is a threat that isn't stopped that could affect my freedom and liberty, then perhaps I'd support it. Once again, your argument should be based on the merits of funding education. Doing a survey of my beliefs and values and making assumptions about me, hardly addresses the topic. It's not even an argument. *"Investing in humans through education is the best way to spend money."* Says you. Investing in education from kindergarten through high school benefits society. Having the person who pours your coffee financially help you become a dentist is repulsive.

@@SergioFernandez-cj4mt What if they don't want to? What if their grades don't qualify? Who will work in the factories? Nobody owes you a university education, pay for it yourself. Suppose you take a course and decide, wah, this isn't for me. So you waste more tax dollars and start a different course. This one you fail, so what the heck, just sign up for another one. Heck, you can just live at University off the taxpayer dime until things work out for you. Take as many courses as you wish, after all it's not your money.

@@JimBarcelona Nobody should be funding your education.

The people of course.

Neither is the million dollar tomahawks but I still have to pay for them.

I disagree. I graduated with an engineering degree and I make good money. As long as you choose a major based on its economic value, college is a worthwhile endeavor.

@ginger6582, so much for the “you might as well be on drugs”! Sounds like you’re on the “drug” IGNORANCE! College is supposed to expand your ability to critically think, as well as provide opportunities to be amongst a diverse population. Admittedly, there are colleges, mostly religious in their foundation, that do engage in a robust amount of indoctrination. That’s not what’s generally offered in the community colleges in California. 🤔

Yes like they owned you k-12...

Most people cannot think. They’re just told what to believe.

They already are with smart phones

Absolutely not true. Absolutely not! I was shocked at the quality of the CCs I attended. I bought into the stereotype that those schools are inadequate. It is the opposite-many universities are overpriced.
