A peeve from me.

[HEyHEY]

It really infuriates me to see the free ride so many get off of the education of others. For instance, in my field, they pay you shit while they rake in big money. Meantime, I'm paying off all my student loans and barely scraping by. It's like the company just sits on you, making sooo much money off of not only your education, but your money.
I'm having trouble explaining exactly what I mean.

1. Read the book:

Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.

You've been trained to go to school, get a job with lots of security and retire.

It doesn't work that way anymore.

2. It's okay...as you're a journalist making crap money...

...we don't expect you to be articulate.

[HEyHEY]

3. haha - I was waiting for the first crack like that

5. If you don't like it, go to Russia

:-)

One of the best things I ever did was accept a full scholarship to college. Sure I could have gone somewhere more prestigious, but the stress of knowing I'd have to pay back $120,000 would have been very unpleasant.

[HEyHEY]

6. Besides, college at the mall ain't so bad

;-)

7. It's a good school that got me into a top 20 graduate program...

so I can't complain.

Another tip for those who want to study cheap: Learn German. German universities offer a much better educational value.

Besides, have you seen how sluttily some of those girls at the mall dress? mmmmmmm :-)

8. I know exactly what you mean.

It happens in health care in the states, too.
