Lots of us have warped mirrors. The reflection we see of ourselves is not what God sees when He looks at us. It is possible to learn to live confidently in the truth of how much God loves you, and this truth can shift the seismic plates of your life.

FAP863: More options if you run into financial aid trouble Listen now: Student Financial Aid News + Bloomberg: Just three days after the Fed approved a loan against Bear Stearns securities, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Paul Kanjorski and 31 other lawmakers sent Bernanke a letter asking him to open the discount window to nonbank education-loan companies. Bernanke refused. + Scathing commentary in the Wall Street Journal: First, we will set up a single goal to represent educational success, which will take four years to achieve no matter what is being taught. We will attach an economic reward to it that seldom has anything to do with what has been learned. We will urge large numbers of people who do not possess adequate ability to try to achieve the goal, wait until they have spent a lot of time and money, and then deny it to them. We will stigmatize everyone who doesn t meet the goal. We will call the goal a BA. + Outside a handful of majors engineering and some of the sciences a bachelor s degree tells an employer nothing except that the applicant has a certain amount of intellectual ability and perseverance. Even a degree in a vocational major like business administration can mean anything from a solid base of knowledge to four years of barely remembered gut courses. + The solution is not better degrees, but no degrees. Young people entering the job market should have a known, trusted measure of their qualifications they can carry into job interviews. That measure should express what they know, not where they learned it or how long it took them. They need a certification, not a degree. + Here s the reality: Everyone in every occupation starts as an apprentice. Those who are good enough become journeymen. The best become master craftsmen. This is as true of business executives and history professors as of chefs and welders. Getting rid of the BA and replacing it with evidence of competence treating post-secondary education as apprenticeships for everyone is one way to help us to recognize that common bond.
