Jesse Ransom (FFS) said:Oh, and my uncle and one of my closest friends are philosophy professors (EDIT: actually, my friend's a history prof, but his own studies focused on philosophy). So there's at least one job there if you're good enough at it (and in the right place at the right time). They also don't think people without degrees are stupid. Maybe they're just better at philisophizing than Jim. They're certainly more realistic examples of philosophy students, having existed and stuff.
Apologies as appropriate for the literal take; I'm feeling short of fuse on divisive rhetoric lately.
Agreed. I'm one of those "Blue collar" workers that people fantasize about, and I'm still making less than $20 an hour after 8 years while my best friend's BSN in computer science and Series 7 has landed him in the six figures. I can only buy property and get my next degree to get OUT of it thanks to my mother helping me, and she isn't the only boomer doing that for their kids. Those "memes" just reek to me of someone bitter about their life choices or problems out of their control.
Maybe this ones safe enough for here, apparently my last one was too political
