For all my younger followers beginning to think about college.
If salary and paying back student loans are major criteria and not factored with other things, then this is bad idea. It will end up promoting tech, engineering, and business schools and schools that produce typically underpaid but socially valuable careers (teachers, social workers, mental health counselors) or pretty much anything humanities related will suffer. There has to be more to the criteria than just that (although using the site it looks more like a filter on a search than an actual ranking system).
The good thing I see here is that each college scorecard lists 1) typical financial debt after graduation and 2) racial and class diversity, although there’s no way to sort all colleges by these criteria. There’s also some usual ranking stuff or general important information that’s strangely missing (average class size, teacher/student ratio, gender ratio, whether they have related graduate schools).

silly silly little comic
Ladies, gentlemen, and other gentlepeople: my girlfriend’s ‘silly little comic’
Oh my fucking gods this is perfect
This makes me smile
dragon came from water not fire
woman rebelled to save other woman
other woman didn’t need saving and could hold her own
dragon wasn’t killed
political scams
interracial lesbian relationship
there is not one thing about this I don’t like. 10/10 fuck yeahI just realized that she said she’s studying alternative cures for magical stasis. Magical stasis as in sleeping curses. She is researching how to rescue sleeping princesses without needing a bullshit True Love’s kiss because she knows how shitty it is to sit around waiting for some hero to rescue her.
Perfect comic is perfect
