They were told "....I don't think you know what community college is." even though they literally went to bunker hill.

However relevant their experience actually is/was, I don't know.

But if I got my Associates at a community college and someone then told them that I don't know what community college is, yeah, I'd respond too lol.

I'm not the commenter you quoted

Asshole

That's unfortunate, but hopefully enrollment would shoot way up if it were free. For many people the cost, even though it's relatively inexpensive, is a lot of money to part with

I always supported free Community College but it should be everyone 18 and up, with priority given to people without a college degree already (because obviously class sizes are limited).

I hope someone else can provide more info or correct me, but the Digital Forensics jobs I saw posted with my state police did not pay well... Just be thorough in your research!

I HIGHLY suggest guessing gifts as well.

My family does these. Wrap an item in several layers of wrapping paper. The item has to be out of it's packaging. Everyone takes turns guessing what the item might be and whoever gets it right can keep it. The "unwrapping" process of a single gift can be as much as 30 minutes of guessing and laughs. We allow for everyone to ask yes or no questions to narrow down the answer.

In theory, yes it's better to link to the specific website. In practice, when trying to decide if you click on a link from an anonymous user on reddit, I don't think Mass.Gov is wrong or a bad choice. That's all I'm saying. And yes, I still believe that even if Mass.Gov is not well organized

If you think about how vast the information is on a state website, an extra 3 or 4 clicks really isn't much. Like I said, Google results can often be malicious. Proceed at your own risk.

But for anyone else reading what I wrote in reply to the other commenter, going to Mass.Gov to apply for Mass Health isn't wrong, and it certainly isn't a bad choice.

Think about it: The entire post is about OP explaining that this for-profit website, with a similar and convincing URL, is designed to take advantage of people who don't know better. So then this commenter gives ANOTHER link that they say is the real link. Now, from my experience I believe it is the real link, but it's a .org address and not .gov. I'd hope people would be cautious accepting links from strangers on reddit and check Mass.Gov.

So Mass.Gov might be kinda crappy. Well, that sucks! But I'm accepting the inconvenience of triple checking the state website before handing over a BUNCH of my personal information to sign up for health insurance.

It's not wrong. It's just not specific.

Navigating to an official resource through mass.gov is a safer way of ensuring you get to the correct place and more people should follow this good practice when trying to find something for any given organization.

Source: I work IT and the amount of malicious shit on Google results or any other random website is terrible. Nobody wants to navigate through a site anymore. They're impatient and want their specific result immediately via Google and it leads to bad sites. And I clean up their messes...

The health connector website is available in the Health and Social Services section of mass.gov
