This statement may be unfair to some truly dedicated students, but I think if given a choice, the majority of college students today would opt for a degree vs. an education.

When I was a student it seemed to me there were basically two types of student: those of us who were there to learn things we could use for the rest of our lives, versus those who were there mainly to avoid thinking about the rest of their lives.

i think someone else already said this, but people need to quit finding excuses not to get themselves out of the situations they create.  personal responsibility people, try it.

me me me.  i push this all the time.  it has made me many enemies.  I have businesses, and I expect it from every employee.  Often times the blow of something bad is not as hard when it comes with someone saying "hey, my fault.  I will now do better"

I just wish more people would face up to their actions, and realize that the thing inside our head is used for more than just walking around and breathing in and out.

I know that make some people just freeze up and die, but really, with concentration, the feat can be accomplished!! 

Once that is mastered, cognitive thinking, reasoning, and problem solving would be the best task to take on.

I'm a strong advocate of personal responsibility but I feel Experian is being intentionally misleading with this website.  It's not a coincidence that it's name freecreditreport.com is so similar to annualcreditreport.com.  They're intentionally misleading consumers.  People know they're entitled to one free credit report a year;it seems logical that if a website is called freecreditreport.com and is run by Experian, it would actually provide a free credit report.

I still think any website that sells any (non-FICO) "credit score" should also have to have a disclaimer after it, indicating something along the lines of "this credit score is for reference only and bears no resemblance to the score likely used by your bank".
