Advice for the Real World --College grads in Denialby A.I. (no login)Firstly, no one in their right mind would even consider podiatry as a "career". Clipping tootsies and pasting felt on feet is a joke--and we're all paying for it with our stolen monies (taxes). College for most part is a complete waste of time and $$$; no bearing in the real world and there is a paucity of jobs out there that pay above 30-35K before taxes for the average college grad. When is the last time a banker/real estate broker asked for your report card?? Or what beer drinking/intercourse fest party hardy school you went to?? Wake up, colleges are money making institutions that operate completely independent of the job market, the real world, or life in general. Their main job is to sell the romantic notion of "college", finding one's self, and other BS--all to the tune of 60-120K after 4 years of nothing education. Interesting that there is no course in investing, yet poetry, molecular biology, and calculus are offered as if ANYONE uses this to make real money??? Next, we enter the abiss of "grad" school where you can study chemicals, animal feces, or poetry/art and other irrelevant nonsense and get tuition paid for by YOUR tax dollars to do it and then after 5-7 years get the poverty stricken PHD degree--better marry someone with a real job. Or you can waste it by going to med/dent/pod school and graduate 150K in student loan debt and barely make 130K after 5-9 years in practice BEFORE taxes and enjoy getting sued every other month.all the while working 11-13 hr days and enjoy ignoring your family--sounds like those PhD "scientists" that barely make 50K before taxes--must like air mattresses and studio apts. THE SOLUTION: Get a talent (music, acting, sports, book writing, real estate...=$$$$$) The remaining jobs pay little, and offer misery in ones life. Know people in the know Read lotsa books--library is FREE Invest in land/rental props. Invest in stocks/mutual funds after much study and objective advice--not "investment" salesmen selling insurance and load high fee funds that offer kickbacks to those conartist salesmen. Read rich dad/poor dad at least 5-6X. Read millionaire next door 3-4X. Have money work for you. DO NOT BE A HIGH PAID EMPLOYEE (LACKIE) whereby the govt steals 40% of what you earn each month. from IP address 64.81.38.149 Goto Forum Home |
