[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I've seen, it's not where you went to school that counts, but what you major in that will determine how successful you will be after college. I know way too many people with liberal arts degrees from ivies that don't have jobs where they earn as much as the kids in my family- bottom tier schools, but kick ass majors= fat paychecks.[/quote]

[b]What a horribly limiting way to think about education and success. How crass and spiritually empty to measure success by the size of someone's paycheck. [/b]   I never viewed education solely as a direct route to a paycheck.  I acquired two liberal arts Ivy degrees which I'm sure you would deem worthless.  However, my parents and I saw education as a way to enrich the mind and develop some thinking skills along the way.  I did graduate work -- also at top Ivies -- and had many doors open to me.  I chose work that I found meaningful and hopefully would make a social contribution.  I did not go for the largest paycheck, though hat certainly was an option. [/quote]
Go to hell. You are jealous because we are doing great and we are smart enough to know how to be successful without wasting money-- we all got academic scholarships to college too. Now you are even more jealous. By the way what makes you think we aren't helping people? You have NO idea how much we help people. It makes me sick how people who never had to worry about money can walk around and say obnoxious crap like how "crass" it is to think about money. Try living without making money, idiot.

I am not the PP but I think you have proven her point.[/quote]

I'm not any of the PPs but you have to admit the "spiritually empty" poster was very patronizing.  the response wasn't very nice, but being spiritually full doesn't pay the bills.[/quote]
