@Exilarch >you probably consume less calories when your brain is set to "push to talk,"
This is proven, you burn less calories watching television than you do when you're asleep...

woah

@MentalSyntaxError I love cats 🙃 🙃

@Exilarch Today they say it's actually 3 less calories per hour asleep than watching TV

In 2011 it was more per hour sleeping 😡

Interesting stuff, there's a lot of calculators if you don't trust this one

so this is something interesting. I looked up the average cost of college attendance, it was 37k per year. Therefore it costs on average 148k for a 4 year degree. Then I looked up the median US income and it was 59k. The average college graduate income was 50k, but the average STEM graduate's was 65k. If median income is 59k, then college costs not only 148k of loans, but also 50 x 4=236k of lost wages, for a grand total of 384k. Meanwhile, assuming you work 40 years, you would earn an extra 6 x 40=240k for having a STEM degree, but with inflation that will be greatly diminished anyway. Even if there was no such thing as inflation, why would it be a good idea at all to pay 384k to make 240k over 40 years? What kind of shitty return on investment is that? Why do boomers think this is at all a good idea?

not if you go to BYU

...

devolved you are such a fucking retard dude

50% of young adults go to college

there is this huge systemic exploitation of an entire generation going on, I just dumped a fuckload of math to prove it, and all you have to say is "lol but our school is cheap" as if that solves the problem?

I hope you get your head kicked in by antifa at your next retard protest

literally retards like you are why all smart people flee from the right wing

the right wing is entirely comprised of only either complete retards or antisocial geniuses, because everyone moderately intelligent in the 110-125 IQ bracket sees people like you being right wingers, concludes that only a retard would do it and becomes a hard leftist

you are what we need to purge to save our movement

ok buddy

@here sound off on the above

I dunno what does Bruce Charlton have to say about this?

it's all relative to the kind of work you do, plus what's the alternative? most high level professional work /STEM field jobs requires a degree of some sort

STEM averages 65k

also, you're paying for connections

if you still average 65k what does it even matter

That seems really low

google what the average stem degree salary is

But I wouldn't really know

tell me what it is

I am not pulling these numbers out of my dickhole

thinking about starting out lab techs and what not in non-metro areas it kind of makes sense

I don't know very many people who are actually employed in a field they went to school for either, though

seems mostly like a way to avoid being an adult for an additional 5 years

My friends who went to trade school are a lot happier than my friends who went to college. Just my personal observation

@Josh absolutely 100% my experience as well

I know a guy who literally does nothing but smoke weed and make knives

guy is so happy

literally just lights up and forges a few hours then does whatever he wants for the rest of the day
