It does have relevance because the main commenter didn’t say to view it in an idols perspective. They made a blanket statement about not going to classes, so your idol argument is in invalid since we weren’t talking about idols in the first place. Just university students in general.
Also when did we start talking about tuition and cost? We were talking about people *already* in university. I never once broached the subject about high cost of university and the fact that not everyone can attend. So I don’t know why you’re spouting your liberal tirade?
Again i never discussed “job experiences” over degree. I honestly don’t know if you replied to my comment but Yes job experiences are to be expected but not everyone who goes to university is rich? a lot of students work part time and university offers volunteering and extra seminars. Some colleges even work with companies who hire them as intern? But at the same time, there’s a lot of companies who hire young graduates and they can climb the ladder as opposed to people who got into the company without a degree.
I’m just speaking the statistical truth, people spouting there’s a lot to do with a Bachelors of Arts degree and then impressionable minds think “oh okay there’s a lot I’ll go that way” it’s nonsense. Give them hard truths and facts
no they did not state it in the view of an idol, however they did state that their 'classes' were not including areas like med, science, etc. which you went ahead and used as your example anyways. And what difference is there to tuition cost and costs of living with a student already in university and one that still in the process of enrolling? The student already enrolled is still paying off that tuition and living cost. The main comment was the lack of financial aid being the reason why students are not able to attend classes, having to work in order to pay tuition and costs of living, which you brushed off as 'its not hard to get a degree go to classes' as if those students working full time while in school were simply not attending class and sitting at home.
Attendance not only shows that you are putting effort into atleast trying to study what you are supposed to study but also show that you care about your field. Millions of student attend lectures and many may not need to but I think it shows a lot about how much u actually care about the education you are receiving and that u are not just wanting that extra title and piece of paper.
And
They are not getting into trouble for missing classes. They are getting into trouble because the corrupt system tried to HIDE that they missed so many classes.
You're grades are the only reflection of your effort into a course. Attending a lecture is not a representation of that whatsoever, unless its your attendance that is the result of your grades falling. Placing a false 'care' factor into this is absurd. You judge someone 'caring' about their education based on their attendance than go a head and give them a stamp on the hand or a gold star sticker, but don't go assuming someone is not as dedicated to their field just because they choose to do something else with their time rather than listen to a lecture for a few hours. Caring about that title and piece of paper which are the acknowledgement of your skill set is far more logical than caring about that attendance record for the sake of some 'care' factor someone else is placing on your studies. When last i checked it was that title and piece of paper that you came for not the perfect attendance record. Every professor may have the education to back up their position in a field but that does not mean that every professor has the skill set to pass that on, most are terrible at teaching despite being genius at their own work.
If you wanted to take online courses you can, but if you take classes that requires you to go to class then you should go to it.
Not only do professors clarify and give proper examples, going to class you will figure out what’s important in an exam. It’s ridiculous, it’s not hard to obtain a degree go to class and stop spouting your nonsense.
That’s why you’re taking arts courses lol.
Medical, law, and science cover more than half of university courses LOL.. why would you put “most courses you don’t need to go”
You sound so silly.
Don’t listen to her, online classes are tailor made to be so you can study it yourself. This person is probably taking arts courses (history, eng lot, etc) that doesn’t require much those classes and the job you can obtain from them are less in demand in the outside world. When everyone has a BS and you have a BA good luck competing for good jobs.
The courses you list are limited to the amount of students that take those programs. An art student isn't going to need a BS to get their job, their career is aligned completely different to a career that requires a BS or PHD. Those programs have no relevance towards the programs that these idols take part in, when they refer to 'most' classes they are probably speaking about similar programs to the ones the idols are taking without taking into consideration programs for math, science etc. A career in music, art etc. the ones where you place lower worth on are never subjected to the same 'demand' that the ones you place high worth (doctors, scientist etc.) on are. .
It isn't difficult to attend classes if you're straight out of high school and willing to take on a shit load of debt or have a slightly wealthy upbringing where you suck your parents dry. The reality is that it depends on where you're from. Some countries subsidize tuition others do not. Some cities have crazy costs of living on top of the high tuition others do not. A student from an above average income family in a country that subsidizes all or part of tuition and is attending classes in a city where living costs are minimal can't be compared to a student from a family that is making average or below average income, in a country that does not subsidize tuition and living in city where housing and rent are double the norm. You may belong to that first category and have the luxury to say its easy to go to college/university and not worry about costs etc. but to ignorantly brush aside someone else who belongs to the second category is just silly. The cost of education and its related issues such as costs of living is a global issue and has been for decades, students around the world have brought the issue up plentiful times.
The other issue is work experience, no matter what level of education
you get if you have no experience working in that field your chances of
getting the job are always lower, the one thing that students never
really pay attention to until they finish their degrees and start job
searching. There's a ton of people out there with their degrees sitting
on a shelf having to take on jobs unrelated to their field to get by
because they don't have the experience
However if your from S.Korea or Japan or China or heck maybe any Asian country than the jobs come to you regardless of your experience solely based on the University you graduate from, and of course your grades which in those countries will be highly dependent on your attendance at least if your taking a program that is hands on approached like med school, law etc.
What gets me is the idols that are going to university and not turning up are taking spots from people who actually need to get those degrees to make a living. Majority of successful idols are more than likely to retire with a healthy sum of money (+ continuing royalties) to get them through.
that can't be what gets you cause that's not even an issue that has been brought up. The concept of classroom availability has never been an issue brought up regarding any course that idols are partaking in. Based on information available classroom availability is not an issue, more students applying for the course simply means larger classroom sizes or hiring an extra prof on contract. These idols do not have the grades to get into exclusive programs where class room sizes are limited due to demand.

you shouldn't have to attend class to graduate a college/university. As long as you still complete the required work and write the exams along with paying tuition there's no reason for failure based on attendance. That is a joke of a rule only enforced by countries that are likewise jokes. There are plenty of students who acquire degrees without attending the majority of lectures. Not attending class can jeopardize someones grades based on their learning experience, the inability to keep up with class material etc leading to failed assignments and exams but to have a degree taken away despite having grades that meet requirements solely on the premise that they did not attend lectures is a joke.
I meant eating it with a caesar salad lol
I think he meant as a side dish. I've worked in banquet settings in two locations here in Canada and along with turkey, mash potatoes, stuffing and the usual, Caesar salad was always the main salad served on buffet lines. Not saying that there wasn't any other salads offered (usually at least a variety of 4 offered) but it was always the biggest bowl on the line. Side note* Mark would have celebrated his thanksgiving on the 2nd Monday of October rather than the last Thursday of November.
the original article says exceeds 10 million net worth not is 10 million and it certainly does not state 100 million. They rarely give an exact number. 100 million is a shit ton of money and is a huge difference compared to
around 20million net worth. Yes he would have had to have money in order to buy the buildings but its not likely hes buying the building while having a bulk of cash on hand still. The bulk of his cash would have been used to buy the buildings. There's a lot of info missing here though, most of the time when people buy buildings they don't buy them
outright in full, the earnings on albums and concerts don't state whether they are net income or simply profits before expenses are taken into account, again most of the time when they state revenue its just the number before you would take out paying off expenses occurred. Also if he is making 20million plus a year around 40% is going to taxes. I can almost guarantee you though that those numbers reported are not net of expenses nor taxes. His buildings are rental income, the business he runs are corporate taxes and the concerts etc are his personal income. If he is smart about his money he would be pulling in 1-5million+ a year and that is a huge accomplishment. These days people take money way too
lightly it is not that easy to rack up 100 million simply by buying real estate and cars.
Who is this insider saying the agencies wouldn't have high profits? I would sue them since it seems they are the direct cause. I know at least for JYPE Stray Kidz is just having a comeback and their sales increase after every one, Twice is about to have a comeback, and Got7 might do a repackage so wtf. That sounds like money to me.
hes not an insider. Hes a financial analyst doing his job. All that means is that the stock is now lower and those with financial knowledge can decide to invest or not based on whether they still think the projections that JYP, SM and YG made will be reached. Or buy and stick around to reap the rewards of more than just 1 quarter in a year. The ones who sold were expecting profits for quick cash, more than likely a lot of amateur stock holders or people who buy and sell repeatedly throughout the year but for smaller quick cash gains.
Cause stocks are like gambling. It's really toxic that we as a society allow our economic well-being to be controlled by this kind of speculation vs actual earnings.
Its not toxic nor is it anything like gambling. There are people who choose to use it in that way but that is their decision. If your on the stock market trying to buy and sell without any financial knowledge and simply buy or sell based on 'tips' or 'good feelings' or panic sell just because a stock dips than you would be better off putting your money in a savings account. The stock market is used for company's wanting to acquire funds for growth, investors choose to invest their money so that they can earn something back while assisting that company in achieving their growth. In order to do that you as an investor have to put in the time and effort to research whether that risk involved is low enough to invest your money. There are times where the risks are high but potential payout is worth the risk some would see that as gambling but gambling is based solely on luck where as the stock market isn't. Those high risk, high payout investments aren't based on luck, they're based on financial numbers, peoples hard work, jobs being created and services being provided. When people lose money on the stock market its due to outside factors like fraud, hacking, natural disasters etc.
Explain. I have a friend who is a stock broker and I invest some myself. There's an earnings guidance and investors will pour in money for dividends with great earnings. So you're saying BTS who probably would have a huge earnings guidance and dividends payout if they were public and a record breaking Q3 wouldn't effect stock performance? OK.
There are some other things to take into account. We don't know what kind of dividend policy they would use. Whether or not they choose to declare those dividends or keep that cash for future internal use. We can't assume what kind of capital structure they have and if the indications affecting the big three have any affect on Big Hits Q3 performance. (there could be other contributions other than that one source that Allkpop is citing) There's a lot of amateurs on the stock market that react to news with panic by selling or buying based on little financial information but simply out of their own emotions. Those individuals usually cause a big chunk of the stock price fluctuations. You and your friend rely on financial information when investing but a lot of people think the stock market is a place to gamble which it isn't. Even without knowing about their dividend policy and whether or not the big 3 were taken down a notch due to one source or many, your assumption of breaking Q3 records and possible high dividend payout would probably still be correct given the situation Big Hit currently is in. I don't see them needing the bulk of earnings for internal growth unless they plan on debuting more than 1 new group or buying a new building. Even as a private company they would be handing out dividend payouts to their shareholders seeing as the company is still only owned by 3 main investors, the equity firm that recently acquired shares, Bang PD and his brother's gaming company.
than how come Hong Jin Kyung was forced into a drug test. She spoke about how many of her sunbaes in the industry and herself were forced to hand over hair samples for drug testing even though they had no reason to other than the fact that some citizens made a complaint saying that they were too 'weird' on television and must be doing drugs. She was even tailed and asked while she was at her boyfriends house and not her own. He even ended up being forced to hand over samples of his hair just for being with her. Well her case may have been a decade ago and things might have changed but baek ji young's husband was forced into drug testing without much proof either other than the fact that he was overseas.
