This stupid b!tch has absolutely no idea of the meaning of the word "free".

It likely is. It’s also likely a way to say hey we offer this but at the same time keeping the costs way down.

Nothing's for free.
Hochul should resign in disgrace and make room for the next disgraceful asshole.

I doubt she’d consider that an in demand program and I’m more than certain none of the state or county schools offer it. Engineering is on the list though.Oh, so does that mean I can go to school for FREE to get an associates in Firearms Manufacturing?

Maybe she ought to consider it to bolster enrollment. It would likely be busting at the seams. Imagine making guns in college?
Why yes, I do have an AS from SUNY: Do you want fires with that?
As in Cali fire? Or did you mean fries?
Definitely a SUNY Graduate
Hey Kunty, are the professors working for free? Or am I getting taxed more for your giveaway schemes?
Fires and disasters are heavy on my wee mind, but yes I meany "Fries".As in Cali fire? Or did you mean fries?

Hochul's favorability was at an all-time low at 34% and a job approval rating of 39%. Those numbers aren't good and she knows she will be getting primaried.
So now her strategy is to play Santa Claus in an attempt to gain favor and stay in power.

Typical zero thought on these so called in demand jobs. Teaching? A BS is required and they have X years to complete their masters. AS in engineering? What job anywhere is going to accept a AS in engineering?
I cant help but notice that most of these jobs also require a license from the state to work, isn't that convenient?

Free? How does that happen? I’m sure the school still gets paid; with your taxes. I do hope they put a requirement of X years in an area that needs you to go to and work. Otherwise what stops them from grabbing their degree and going to North Dakota where they treat their folks well?

I'm sure it's only free for a segment of the population that doesn't know how to use a computer, so the risk of them even finding out there are jobs and a better life in ND are pretty slim.

Her office said the program would cover New York residents between the ages of 25 and 55 who enroll in associate degree programs in nursing, teaching, technology, engineering and other fields
I guess age discrimination is okay when the commies do it. Hell the taxes are already elder abuse for some of us.

I like you; an optimist. I expect this will be used by plenty and the public will get zero service from it.

I do as well. I paid cash for mine, I paid cash for my BA, and I just made my last cash payment on my MA. I have paid half cash for my sons BS, and I will pay full cash for my sons AS and no one gave me a penny for any of it. I have paid a lot in college so far and so far it has paid off.
My wife has many college degrees and we did get a little public service loan forgiveness on that but we paid for 21 years on it, always paid extra and never deferred her payments even when she was back in school because we never expected anything. I think we deferred her loan payments for her last PhD term because she took two course at a time to finish and it wasn’t cheap.
This program could actually be a benefit and a net gain to the state if done properly since it only applies to in demand programs but if that’s the case why don’t they say it. A SUNY degree is cheap enough and if it takes someone from $45,000/year to making $75,000/year the tax revenue could pay for the degree in the end. I say it could but that doesn’t mean it will since I have no faith in this state or the accountants.

“…IF done properly…”. Preach it and preach it loud for the elected in the back. You are right. I would have no issue to assist people to meet a critical need in local communities and keep them in communities needing the work.

if you don't pass in the top .001% of the class you have to reimburse the taxpayers
you shouldn't get free if your at the bottom of the class ..
