@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
hahahaha
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
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
Dropping out of school to get a job actually freed me to be less of an adult.
hahaha
it is better for some
for most
