    Is she actually telling us to be happy that you’re at the local community college instead of getting accepted at Harvard or MIT? Get better TED talkers

      @ElyManic A degree from Harvard or Berkeley or MIT and a degree from a community college is the difference between night and day

    The ivies have a role. They educate the comfortable. The public’s have a different role. They produce an educated country. I’ll take the latter.

    College is a waste of money. Employers aren’t even looking at your degree anymore unless its required like engineering.

    If your not going to be the absolute authority on what ever you seek out to study why bother with college? I can find mediocre solutions and answers online.

      What is your current occupation and salary? My MA was in Speech Pathology and I couldn’t have worked in the field without a Masters degree. It allowed me great flexibility and fantastic pay.

      @Heidi Stonebraker you need a degree to get Timmy to stop stuttering?

    I’m pleased to have earned my AA from a community college and my BA and MA from a state university.
    FYI: I paid my loans off and I WANT Biden to forgive student debt!!

    Hey everyone!! ????️
    I’m Azhari from Indonesia, my level English now is B1 and it’s going to B2.
    I’ve been learning English since middle of 2022, but now I really want to get better English for my IELTS score. So I need to improve my English. I am looking for a speaking partner to practice with three or four times a week. I can meet via “zoom, WhatsApp and telegram. Would anyone like to practice with me and improve their English too?

    So…? Education is hardly enough. The focus should be holistic!

    Community colleges also teach top notch even though many do not give them the clout they deserve

    What a load of bs. What next participation award is the same as first place winners? Focus on merit, not equity

What do you hear when you sit in silence? For artist Rose B. Simpson, that question is the beginning of all art. She comes from a line of ceramic artists stretching back generations and, as part of her multidisciplinary work, she also builds custom lowrider cars. (If that sounds like a contradiction, that’s kind of the point.) In conversation with “Design Matters” podcast host Debbie Millman, Simpson invites you to find your own aesthetic — not by searching, but by listening. (Recorded at TEDNext 2025 on November 10, 2025)
