For when you need a laugh!

The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!

But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Have fun!

You can tell this is an ancient meme because it prices college at 4 years at $9,000 per year instead of 5 years at $30,000 per year ๐Ÿ˜†

I'm not talking about IT, or the workforce, I'm talking about equal access to education.

Wealthier children that monopolize access to the higher specialisation courses is a thing that could happen, and I could see colleges and universities start to require those as prerequisites for certain degrees.

There's a lot of work that would need to be done to remove barriers to education, which is the thing that we want to do in offering an alternative credential to enter the workforce. Doing this work in the wrong way would reinforce income disparity, reduce class mobility. We are talking about big changes.
