Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

My son could have more dope than Bob Marley and he still wouldn't be staying at my crib at 24.

40k per year is more than I made right out of law school. I started at the Public Defender's Office at 36k. What a fucking tard. You aren't going to be a mid level manager right out of college.

HA I worked there for 12 months and hated that company.. BUT for the record that's a sweet entry level position. Its a customer service position but great for learning the business. For a young aggressive person with a decent degree behind them it is by no means a dead end job. They can work there way out of that job into a non phone attached job within 12-18 months.
A dead end job is specializing in something with no job growth. The above job can go to at least 5 different career paths within insurance.
Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?
OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.

true... but you started out of law school in 1912... so you need to adjust for inflation.
Quote from Cypress:
"Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.
They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

Yeah, when I started in commercial real estate brokerage right out of school they paid us $30k. Being single and living in SF on $30k is not a very glamorous lifestyle.

I cant find where it says what degree he got. If its general management it was a waste of money. its the major at my college that everyone that couldnt hack the accounting, finance, or economic classes fell back into.
The landscape has changed. I would even venture to say that college may not even be worth it anymore unless its a specific degree from a specific college that has a good chance of paying back within 4years.
Rule of thumb dont is dont waste your money on a kids college unless she/he can earn back the value of that degree within 4years.
College cost: 50K per year x 4 = 200k.. kid gets job making avg of 35K over 4 years or 140k = not worth the investment.
I know a guy who went to a maritime college for degree in emergency management. 20k a year instate tuition. 90% of the grads in that major will make 50k starting.. now thats a good investment.

last study I saw said average degree would net you 2.5 mil over your career. Keep in mind Chappy that wages for non skilled are falling while college grads are rising less fast.
