My name is Rachel, this blog is based on the quote " When the caterpillar thought the world was over it became a butterfly. I am a Sociology major, social psychology minor , I will talk about different topics of struggles people face in life and how to turn them into positives.

This is not really positive but not everything in life is positive and it's something important. I was talking in class about women's work, and how there is still a gender gap between men and women, men get paid more the women, women get penalized for being a mother. Also the thing they don't tell us when we start are degree is that most of us won't get high paying jobs in our fields. The Universities are trying to make money, and the President makes millions of dollars, while students go in dept, it's really not fair. Tuition rates have gone up 400% in the last 10 years, that's insane. It kind of makes me wonder if my university degree is worth it, if I can't get into a good job. I am looking at possibly getting my masters in social work. So if i do that then that's good but then there's issues whether or not i will get into grad school. Anyways i g2g to bed I will write more later.

The president does not make millions of dollars. The president earns a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account and $19,000 for entertainment.
ReplyDeleteI'm talking about the president of the university, not the president of United states, I'm Canadian anyways.
ReplyDeleteOk maybe it's a little off I just wrote what i heard in class, but that's besides the point they make way more money, university presidents make more money then the president of the US. The amount of money doesn't matter it's the point that matters, they make tons of money while we are stuck with raising tuition.
