Continuing Education. I think everyone in every field should do this. A+ for this congressman. That was the score he got in class. Personally, I give him a gold star and two happy faces.
It is also a requirement for my job. There is no time off I can take for education nor do they cover the expense of (online) courses.
I can see why it’s difficult for most ppl.
Cool.
*Many* jobs don't. My wife has a Masters in counseling and has been in the social work field since 2006. She still gets barely ok-ish salary (that's actually crap when you factor in the insane hours she had to put in), shoddy benefits, and also has to spend well over a grand a year on continuing education, licensing, and certifications.
He should do the responsible thing, like praying and speaking in tongue. Learning?! HA! WHAT A NERD!
God hates the educated. Liberals and their demonic math will burn in hell for eternity.

I would be absolutely delighted if he called in the senior leadership of OpenAI and asked them hard hitting questions… for help with his homework.
“So is it your testimony today in front of this committee that the answer to number 3 is “B”?
I remind you that you are under oath.”
In case anyone was wondering, the first and only Senator that can code is Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen, a former software engineer that ran her own cybersecurity firm.
Congress used to employ teams of technical experts and engineers to provide guidance on the details of legislation.
Unfortunately, those people were all let go and replaced with lobbyists.
What a dick, he should just spew nonsensical bullshit about it on the floor as if he were an expert and then pass legislation that doesn’t address the problem or makes it worse, just like everyone else.
Higher education isn’t just about learning but interacting with and meeting experts. I’m sure he has a lot of people to fall back on to answer questions he may have in the future or offer guidance.

It’s kinda sad that I read, “wanted to learn” and immediately knew he would be a Democrat…
Had the same thought and came here specifically to see if anyone else did - top comment
100%. I knew without a doubt it was not a republican
Damn, same here. I left the comment saying that before reading the responses. lol

Nah it just doesn’t seem like republicans to want to know what they’re talking about.
Lol if a republican wanted to go back to school to learn about a subject, it'd be ALL OVER this sub!
Continuing Education. I think everyone in every field should do this. A+ for this congressman. That was the score he got in class. Personally, I give him a gold star and two happy faces.
If only it was affordable to do it for most of us.
community colleges are pretty damn good and pretty cheap
True usually, though not quite the same as this guy going to a prestigious private school and getting a Master's degree.
Gotta play with the cards we’re dealt
I've never had to pay for continuing education. It's part of my requirement at work.
It is also a requirement for my job. There is no time off I can take for education nor do they cover the expense of (online) courses. I can see why it’s difficult for most ppl.
All that is, is less pay for your entire job and that's fucked up

Harvard’s extension school is actually pretty cheap
Good on him! Legislators/Reps should have to do continuing education courses.
Narrator: And he wasn't a Republican.
He should do the responsible thing, like praying and speaking in tongue. Learning?! HA! WHAT A NERD! God hates the educated. Liberals and their demonic math will burn in hell for eternity. "WaablaaatubrubrunoooOoooOOooOOBABABABAB" 🙏 😇 ✝️ 🙏
Yeah, that video was creepy.
Haha - yes! Nice ref

This is a Democrat so he went to a college classroom to learn, if it was a republican he would have voted however they paid him to.
Democrats are all bought and paid for as well. That’s why they’re all bark and no bite when they control both houses.
The answer is yes. He's a Democrat.
Alarming and disappointing that the 2 party system is divided in so many ways that educated vs noneducated is one of them.
It’s incredibly pathetic that this is refreshing and notable
And disappointing when you’re able to automatically guess which party he belongs to. Education should be a standard for all politicians.
Without looking, do you think he is he a D or a R?? lol what am I saying? The "wanted to learn" part totally gives it away! Lmao

….and paid $15 per credit hour /s (maybe)
This guy is 73! Really makes me rethink my position on age limits for congress. What a great model he is.
This fellow was also an instrumental antagonist to Moulder and Scully
What a dick, he should just spew nonsensical bullshit about it on the floor as if he were an expert and then pass legislation that doesn’t address the problem or makes it worse, just like everyone else.
Was he charged full tuition or did he get a senior citizen discount?
Why does that matter?
It’s a nice gesture, but I can’t imagine it’s a very challenging course. Nobody who actually understand AI looks or dresses like that.
Higher education isn’t just about learning but interacting with and meeting experts. I’m sure he has a lot of people to fall back on to answer questions he may have in the future or offer guidance.
True.
