Top of class when she had to pay herself.
Funny how that works.




nice anecdote. hardly proves some kind of pattern.

doctors don't do as well as you think
"According to an increasing number of physicians, changes brought on by the Affordable Care Act, decreasing insurance reimbursements and rising malpractice costs are among the main reasons they’re struggling to maintain their practices. More and more doctors are being forced to file Chapter 11, shattering the notion that personal financial collapse only happens to lazy and uneducated people. This trend has affected all areas of the medical field from orthopedic surgeons to general care practitioners. While most physicians are able to bounce back, many find bankruptcy to be the end of their career."

"For the class of 2021, the AAMC found that the average medical school debt among students attending a public school was $194,280. Seventy-four percent of med students at a public college said they had education debt."

Education is overrated and doesn't guarantee success in any sense of the word

Throwing money (free education in this case) at problems wouldn't solve anything and people simply cannot appreciate something they were given compared to something they worked their ass off for.  It's a simple psychological value concept I've seen play out so many times

I have no issue with student loans, financial aid, or grants given to students that worked to get good grades in order to show potential getting help obtaining an education because all those routes imply the student put work in and deserve some help, but no way should anyone and everyone be able to live off tax dollars just because they sign up for some classes.  That would be a huge waste

For those that do want to study hard, work hard, and make something out of themselves, sometimes degrees are necessary.  I'm talking about doctors, lawyers, engineers or any other specialized fields where being very knowledgeable is necessary to avoid seriously fucking up peoples' lives.  It's also about investment.  You have to invest a lot of time, energy, and work into obtaining an education so at the end you can do a highly skilled job and be rewarded for the investment in your education

UO delayed gratification is a highly underrated concept but those that get it will always beat out those that don't

I think higher education should be paid for by the gubmint but I don't think you should be allowed in at all until you're 25.

It's an arbitrary number.  Maybe it should be 24 or 28 but 25 sounded good.  The point is that teenagers are terrible students with no life experience to guide their choice of academic path and most of them are just there to play beer pong and fuck around or because their parents made them go.

That seems fair.
Kids can be very stupid.
That’s why free education is so important.

When I work with someyoung that just graduated. It's blatantly obvious who partied and didn't study.

Well I keep advocating for having no money whatsoever but y'all just think that would never work out because oh socialism is bad. There should be no money, the way god and the natural forces of the universe intended, and people should be free to go to school and learn what they want and have whatever job they want. All the dirty Jobs should go to immigrants like janitors sanitation workers and people who work at the sewage centers and the garbage collectors, landscapers, gardeners, strawberry pickers, etc.

Unpopular opinion: Mexican food is fucking gross and boring. Add in overpriced now also. Every Mexican dish is basically just a variation of corn beans rice tomatoes and onions. It's always the same fucking thing the only difference being the way the shell is cooked either to make it soft or hard.

Like are you going to try something new in your cuisine other than the same shit you've been doing for thousands of years?

I hate for you to find out this way, but you’ve never had Mexican food. I be you live in the US and have gone to the local “Mexican” restaurant.😜

UO, money has bought me a lot of happiness.

The Mexican food in Southern California is often quite good.  There are some spots that are bomb.  I don't care as much for the Mexican food I found in Colorado, for the most part, even though Colorado has had a Mexican population since before it was a state.  There's just regional differences. Most Mexican food I've found in Florida is not very good, imo.  I used to order sesos  back when I was little and it was still on the menus.  That was before everyone was worried about mad cow disease.  Obviously the food is good in Baja, but that's actually Mexico.  Used to get fish tacos in Ensenada 2/$1 right in the fish market when I was a kid.

True. There are some great authentic spots, but most “Mexican” restaurants are actually Tex-Mex. I like Tex-mex also, but completely different. I’ve never had good mole from Mi Cocina.🤣
