Low eight figures? Maybe, but I think mid-7 is about right. In the $5,000,000 range. I'd guess that CNN got the best deal by going first. This puts some nice money in his pocket, and now he can go big-game hunting, if he wants.
You’re probably right. Either way, the kid won’t have to worry about student loan debt.

Then again, given his slurred reputation, he probably won't get into many colleges that are worth taking on debt in order to attend.

I can't imagine an Ivy League admissions officer pulling his application out and tell others, "Princeton can use a guy like Nick!" :nod:

I couldn’t imagine an Ivy school taking a middling intellect and self-promoter like David Hogg, either, but Harvard took him. :ohno:

That sums it up. There are two conservatives on my Harvard class message board: myself and a Ukrainian guy. He’s feisty. You should have read his posts over the past several months. :lol: :thumb:

Did I mention that I'm a HAHVARHD guy now too? I'm working for a Masters in Creative Literature from Harvard Extension School. You, me, and David Hogg. We're all Harvard men now. :D

I don’t know about that. The Harvard Extension School does offer a master’s degree in “Creative Writing and Literature.” Maybe JJ just shorthanded it. Or maybe he’s bullshitting us.

Anyway, Joe could benefit from the program with his CS posts. One bullet point on the website says the program can help you “master key elements of narrative craft.” Another says it enables you to “practice the art of revision as a means to hone your voice as a writer.” :notworthy: :lol:

Yes, I was short-handing it. Actually, so are you.

The proper identification would be: "Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies, Creative Writing and Literature." I understand that many people will leave out reference to the "Extension Studies" on resumes, in order to conceal that their degree is really from the Extension School -- since, truth be told, the Extension School is no better than Cornell. :D

Good luck with your studies, JJ! I’m sure your briefs will be better after you get that degree. :thumb:

Thanks. I've enjoyed my classes. Professors have been top notch and my fellow students have been some very interesting and talented people literally from all over the world. And I'm enjoying writing and the feedback I've been getting.

So it's still a step up from Fordham.

In my opinion, around the time I was looking at schools, there were no colleges better than Fordham, at least in terms of what I wanted and believed made a college "great." It seems so long ago, and quaint, but I wanted to get a Western liberal arts education from the educational order than essentially created the concept of the Western liberal arts. All of the great American universities modeled themselves on the Jesuit university. At a Catholic high school in the 1970s, the push to "go Jesuit" was strong.

As the Yale Daily News Guide to Colleges said around that time, "Fordham is the preeminent university for the Catholic middle class." That was me. Coming from a Catholic, middle-class background, I was oblivious, at 17 when I read that statement, that it was actually a subtle WASPY put-down. It turns out there was a Catholic "upper class" that went to Yale, I guess.

Still, my Jesuit professors were demanding, but fair, and I realized when I got to law school that I was far better read, and had better study habits, than most of my Ivy-educated classmates. I wouldn't trade my Jesuit education for any other.
