And to be honest, having seen how many people now use the written/spoken word, I'm pretty glad to have spent so much time writing as that's a legitimate skill that I'll get to use against the hordes of miscreant 20-somethings that can't communicate in complete sentences.

I have a friend who was a physics major and graduated with honors and he's working at a steakhouse right now while paying back loans. Also living with his parents. But he's a bright dude, and Im sure he'll find something soon.

As it stands, Im in Grad school. Went back after almost two years working a shitty job at a group home.

Nothing but props and respect here J, and good vibes for your continued good health.

Pretty logical.

Some fields those advanced degrees truly matter, others not so much. It's just hilarious the number of people with Comm, Poli Sci, Psych, Econ, Sociology, Business Admin degrees that end up selling cars at your local Kia dealership because they didn't have the drive to excel in their chose field and/or got a trash-ass degree to begin with.

And Hootie may be very, very correct in the long run about degrees being over-rated for his(and my) generation. Every ****ing body and their brother has a BS or BA in my age group. Some use them for their intended purposes. Quite a few never use them at all. The market is over-saturated with dipshits that got a piece of paper and have no idea how to use it.

Shit, I did it for a little while. Floated around with a BS in Econ, minor in Poli Sci so I was really covering my ass there. A bachelor's degree simply shows you had the time, money, and commitment to complete your course work. You showed ambition in getting that piece of paper. It doesn't make you any less of a dipshit when you get dropped out into the real world and nobody cares about your Sociology: Studies of the Elderly course during a job interview.

It's okay that you don't understand why somebody got banned. You never do. I've learned that it's not even worth taking the time to explain it to you because you're going to believe that it's a massive conspiracy anyway.
