    One word to summarize MJC : useless…read more I challenge anyone to find a single graduate from this college that isn't a nurse (or some lesser derivative, like RT or LVN). There's a good chance you won't, because that's all this college ever produces. Back when I was a young (and very naive) human I used to think college and higher education was for advancing humanity. Building better technology, scaling, furthering our understanding of the universe. Boy, was I mistaken, because at MJC I learned the truth about what college is REALLY for. Which is just to PRETEND to want all that but actually just kiss @$$, smile, feign competence, and, most importantly, try to get a big paycheck. ​​​​​​At MJC, everyone just agrees with the majority, and logic or critical thinking? Hah! Nice sense of humor you got there . Now that's what I have to say about the students there and how they're nothing but incompetent Muppets. Let's talk about the college as a whole Releasing nothing but Healthcare workers. Why does MJC do this? Because its the easiest field for incompetence to hide. You see, as a plumber, you either fixed the sink or you didnt. As an electrician, your light either works, or it doesn't. If you're a mechanic, the car either runs... or it doesn't. But in Healthcare there's plenty of incompetent actors to flourish behind ambiguity. The right approach, the right mannerisms, the right personality. All of these are subjective and debatable, unlike whether or not a car simply runs. Another reason why Modesto poops out these useless Healthcare workers is because its the easiest "problem" to fabricate. If your car runs, you assume it works. If your sink drains, you assume no problem. Theres no "nuance", theres no "condition", theres nothing to attach narratives to. Theres no "your car work, oh but it has 'autism' and thats why you need to also give it this". Theres also no emotions. Your car gets serviced for an oil change, there no gut wrenching potential (or phantasmal) "cancer" thats going to demand big monies to cure a "problem" you didnt know you had. Healthcare is the easiest field to scam humans with because it has the biggest cloud of ambiguity and distortion compared to the trades. Its honestly sickening once you see it for what it is. Im not about to waste my life on gaslighting nonsense, even if it pays well. Besides, I can do much better with my capabilities without these uselsss "higher" education camps. I'd give it one star but then I'd be completely also discrediting the useless sciences I did learn there like Anatomy, Physio, and Microbiology. But beyond a few worthwhile classes (that you cant even really capitalize on without significant capital) going here is a waste if you truly want to level up your intelligence. But if your goal is to be a mindless drone and collect a paycheck, itll probably serve that function. ​​​​​​

    Absolutely terrible! Counselors are terrible don't know anything and they are consistently…read moreunavailable or the office closed!

    It's sad to say that the education portion of this farm is closing. So if you want to experiencre…read morethe global village, go this summer! I took a small group of youth to the Ceres Center to have a global village experience. We stayed 2 nights in the village with a reduced diet meant to approximate the quantity and type sof food available to migrant workers. We slept in the dirt. We were not allowed showers. We were hungry. We learned so much! We came away with the most amazing sense of gratitude and responsibility. It's a great way to re-evealuate yoru relationshipw ith food.

    I encourage ya'll to visit your closest Heifer Project International Learning Center…read more I visited their Ceres Center in Ceres, CA and was so impressed on many levels. I worked along with Heifer's Sandy Groll to plan a board member retreat for the African Well Fund. Sandy and her team went out of their way to make us feel welcome and special. The Ceres Center has two meeting spaces available - cost is by donation only - no fees. We used the smaller interior space, which was well air conditioned and well suited for our purposes. In addition, they served us snacks and lunch - much of the food served was grown onsite. DELICIOUS! We toured the facility and learned so many things about housing, shelters, animal husbandry and farming. The docents are very knowledgable and friendly. The Ceres facility also has a children's garden - which is absolutely fabulous. Tip #1 - If you are traveling there from Southern California - don't take the 5 freeway all the way . I learned this the hard way - it is much longer than taking the 5 to the 99. It was great to see so much of the California Acqueduct, but it made for a very long drive. Tip #2 - Do not stay at the Red Lion Inn in nearby, Modesto. There are other lodgings that are better and closer to the Ceres center. Tip #3 - While visiting the area, dine at Dewz (www.dothedewz.com) Edited to add Heifer's Mission Statement below. To find out more about Heier go to www.heifer.org.

As people share their animals' offspring with others --- along with their knowledge, resources, and skills --- an expanding network of hope, dignity, and self-reliance is created that reaches around the globe. Heifer's History This simple idea of giving families a source of food rather than short-term relief caught on and has continued for over 60 years. Today, millions of families in 128 countries have been given the gifts of self-reliance and hope.
