[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would government cover for her lifestyle choices. [/quote]

The government covers a lot of different peoples poor lifestyle choices.  She at least is hard-working. She will be working full-time during the day and then going to school in the evenings.  It’s only a one bedroom. I’ve considered trading it up for a two bedroom in the same neighborhood, but I think it will take me a while to get that going.  [/quote]

She can have a roommate if she can’t afford it (one person takes the living room.). [b]That’s what I did when I had a low paying but prestigious job out of college.[/b]  There’s no govt credit that is going to subsidize you as a landlord for her decisions (the progressive nature of our tax code should help her some.)[/quote]

I've said this over and over again on DCUM, but there is no such thing as a low-paying, prestigious job.  Hill staffer?  Nope.  Entry-level journalist for some left-wing rag?  Sorry.  Postdoc job at NIH?  Sorry again.  I know you like to think you've had a prestigious life and look down at the finance bro making $700K, but unfortunately, his job *is* prestigious.[/quote]

I don't entirely disagree with you that people label certain jobs as prestigious which are actually just entry level positions to jobs that will be low paying for life. But there are exceptions: for example, lawyers who do a Supreme Court clerkship (which requires a preceding circuit-level clerkship) will set themselves up for very lucrative careers, even though they'll be paid poorly for two years. Other lawyers who don't do the clerkships can also have lucrative careers, but the Supreme Court clerkship will give that person a leg up in basically every job they could ever want.[/quote]
