Not for nothing either, but earning money irl isn't the whole purpose of life or a golden path to happiness...and it isn't in EQ either. Lots of folks find out the hard way that they've spent the first half of their life pursuing a lifestyle that they discover don't even want when/if they get their hands on it. | |||

I started by buying bone chips for 3p and selling them for 5p.
I've moved on since then but kept the ratio the same. Also, sometimes I port people. Boom, 500k! | ||

If you get a teaching degree you can earn 6 figures, life time insurance, a pension...and hopefully do something you like. Few people would call a teacher "rich" though. My point is that even only earning 100k a year is still the jackpot compared to the quality of life most people have in the world or have had historically. Plus, and more importantly, you might actually be doing something you love and find meaningful. I agree with you about the bull crap degrees. If you graduate from college and have no marketable skills or certifications you will have very few options, and they will most likely be very low pay and something you'd prefer not to do. | |||

I'm not a liberal...and def not a die hard one. Most people in my life consider me borderline libertarian on most issues, especially social and economic issues. I've been an economics and history prof. / teacher (college and high school) for twenty years...and most of my students associate me "neo-liberal" b/c of my emphasis on Milton Friedman's monetary policy, but (like Friedman) I would call myself a lover of freedom more than anything else (which, is what the word liberal originally meant before it became synonymous with Democrat in America). Then again I find the modern use of the word liberal in America to nonsensical..."liberal" and "conservative" have been reduced to code words for Democrat and Republican along strictly party platforms. One of the reasons I detest party politics is that most people who align themselves can't explain the arbitrary inconsistent stances each party takes on their platform just to try to win the election; it doesn't map to reality in my opinion. Truly not being snarky (even though this is a RNF forum) --- did I say something accidentally say something "leftist" when I tried to make the case that graduating with a non-sense degree is a path to economic problems or when I said you can work for someone else and live better than 99.999% of the worlds population historically has ever lived? Truly curious if that is now a "liberal" position in party politics/opinion. | |||
