Liberal Arts is the pathway to unemployment. They shouldn't even be offered, maybe just the teaching program because that's all you can do.
Money doesn't mean much, you can get minimum wage and live a fantastic life.

Quote from: BC on December 18, 2014, 03:11:00 PMFuck money, just do something that makes you genuinely happy.If you get money in return it's a plus. Everyone who says that money is everything are the idiots who end up fucking up and being unhappy.Money doesn't mean much, you can get minimum wage and live a fantastic life. Look for the things you enjoy. If writing is something you love, something that makes you you, then do it. Who gives a fuck, it's your life do what you want.I'd much rather everyone be happy and live a purposeful life, rather then the one they feel they have to live.Money doesn't equal happiness, a sense of purpose does.This is pure bullshit. Frankly I'm insulted you come on here and say this shit while you're driving around a million dollar car.

Why the fuck are we all jumping on BC's dick because he's rich. I don't know how he made his money, but being rich doesn't disqualify him from understanding fundamental aspects of human psychology and motivation. Is he better off than most people and, probably, everybody on this forum? Yes. If he removed from the daily struggles of most people? Sure. But that doesn't make him wrong, in any sense. If you disagree with him, just because he's rich, then you're just as guilty as what you criticise him of.

I wish guidance counselors were more honest in college. They make you seem like you can do fucking anything with just a college degree when in reality experience matters more.

While the minimum wage might be unsatisfactory to you - and a lot of others - that doesn't mean you can dictate whether or not people are capable of living fulfilling lives in that situation, especially when you're thinking in purely financial terms.
It's stupid to make such a grand generalization.
Quote from: Mad Max on December 20, 2014, 02:06:38 PMIt's stupid to make such a grand generalization.I'm not disputing that. He was, for the most part, wrong. The point I'm making is that it isn't necessarily because he's wealthy, and we shouldn't be making it about that. The fact that he drives expensive cars should have no bearing on the assertion he makes - that's irrelevant, to be honest.
Apart from that, it's insulting to those of us who were and/or are poor for him to say that while he has a garage full of super cars. What the fuck does he know about "living a fabulous life on minimum wage" if he's never experienced living a life off minimum wage?
He isn't correct though. You can't live a "fabulous life" on minimum wage in America at all. You can't even live a good life. And to top it off, he says all this while having a bunch of super cars.
Perhaps it has a bearing on him being wrong, but it needn't be brought up.
Quote from: Meta Cognition on December 20, 2014, 02:13:10 PMPerhaps it has a bearing on him being wrong, but it needn't be brought up.Considering that he seems to be clueless on the subject that is likely the case. I think some people were just insulted that someone could be so ignorant about life and just immediately assumed his wealth was the reason for it, not the other way around like you suggested.
