Brooks walked into an office building that housed a Philadelphia branch of Eastern University
She got a useless degree from a for profit university.
And that useless worthless degree was useless and worthless????
Who would have guessed it.
Oh, you went to eastern because you couldn't get into a real MBA?
Well that should be a hint...

Lets take out the black woman and add everything else up.
Single
4 kids
Took out $80k for an MBA
Not willing to change jobs with new degree
Turns out her job relied on government funding
So Single is OK, single with 4 kids... sounds like questionable life decisions
Taking out $80k for an MBA??? Definitely dumb
Even going for an MBA??? Especially with out an employer requiring it... DUMB
Not checking the job market before getting an $80k masters, DUMB. You would think she would learn that getting her MBA
Working anywhere that depends on taxpayer funds. Unethical IMO, I guess it has been a smart move over the years.

Guys.
Hear me out.
I think there’s some lying going on.
Eastern University offers exactly one MBA program. It’s an MBA in Organizational Management.
It’s completely online.
It costs $9,900.

Pretty certain no one ever made you take out those loans. I’m growing very tired of all the whining.

Brooks wanted to cash in on a deal fundamental to our nation’s understanding of itself: If you go to school, study hard and graduate, your life will be financially stable, your children’s lives even better.
Wrong. Just because you go through the steps doesn't mean you're guaranteed an outcome.
You had no business getting an MBA. You simply do not have what it takes. Not everyone does. If yo want a refund, then go after the college, not those of us busting our asses day in and day out

This is true. Democrats delete words that matter. For instance, the saying used to be "equal pay for equal work". Now it's just "equal pay,".
Words matter

Bull. shite.
They’re the largest demographic of diversity hires that are immediately regretted. If you fire them or reprimand them, they will sue. So you just keep paying them to avoid litigation.

“I needed to make more money,” Brooks, a Black single mom of four, said of her mindset.
I'd feel overwhelmed too...
Make an example of her...
"Live like this woman you will struggle and so will your children"
Any questions?

What about white women and men?
Posted on 11/5/21 at 8:31 pm to oldskule
Article was talking about pay and advancement...
Have you noticed how many black women are in elected leadership roles? Bunches
She has a kid in college...she is 38...
I mean dang...we had our first when I was 36...
Life is about preparation...
Having kids when you're a kid is a life long struggle...
Stop talking about how hard life is...we get it...but you made stupid decisions!!!
Damn make it stop
