Oh, he knew what he wanted to do when he was doing his undergraduate in Nuclear Engineering

Problem is, there aren't any jobs in Nuclear Engineering unless you've got a Master's or a Doctorate

So he spent about a year and a half living at our parent's again, considered going full-on Navy track, then got accepted to the Material Science program at Texas A&M

He's been there for 4 years now

Oh, he also dismisses any news articles from Fox News because in a mid-90's court case they classified themselves as an "Entertainment News Source" to get out of a lawsuit

for being partisan

When I asked him "Do they not cover recent events and other news stories?" he switched topics

Jesus the student debt..

Dont want to imagine that

He's got a stipend being a graduate student, so I don't think he'll have all that much student debt from the doctorate

Our parents were able to put us both through our undergraduate degrees as well, so no student debt from that

something I was very thankful for when I finished paying off my car a year early a few months ago

Oh, and assuming he actually gets a job in the private sector when he finishes, Material Science is quite a lucrative market at the moment, so he shouldn't have any trouble paying off any student debt he has

He keeps saying he doesn't want to become a professor or stay in academia when he's done

He's going to have some trouble adapting to the real world, methinks

I slowly pulled my sister towards the center, so now shes approx in Tim territory, though maybe less libertarian. As a result though shes annoyed at the SJWshit in universities

Guess I should be so lucky, I didnt bother with my brother, but I do correct him on some things.

My immediate family has all found their way to the center on their own

More right leaning for the most part, but not so right that they only listen to fox news

Eh. you guys are lucky. My immediate family has adopted Reddit politics.

It's even worse than MSM politics.

@Revan That's what 10 years in the chamber does to you. I would know.

And no, he won't have to adapt tot he real world. He'll probably enter at a managerial level and make the place adapt to him. Kinda bothersome that you'd say he's at Texas A&M. That's one of the places you'd assume is more right-leaning than average.

My brother voted for Hillary and keeps voting democrat. Luckily the rest of my family are trump supporters.

I think it’s because he’s been in a leftist bubble since high school while the rest of us haven’t.

I have a cousin who is pretty much a socialist. Apparently, she studied journalism and she blocked me on FB after my quasi-shitposting showing how dumb a couple of MSM articles that she shared were.

My wrongthink shitposts were too much for her echo chamber.

Ew FB

I deleted my account after the elections. Never really used it anyways.

I basically use FB for the messenger app and our fantasy football league

Survival of the fittest.

At least they didn't have kids

How many times has this happened that someone's walked, or hitchhiked through dangerous countries to prove they're not dangerous and end up raped/killed?

Clearly not enough to disuade morons from doing so

I don't at all feel bad for these people

there is video of their death

Let's be honest, tax goes down with every welfare participant that is no longer getting free money

they got run over by a car

Car of peace

London mayor wants to ban cars now too

well they are deadly
