But you opted not to go to school, which is fine. Thats your choice, and youre allowed to.
Right now i make pretty good money, if I want to make great money im going to have to start a phd program going to school full time and working full time on top of that.
Its going to be tough and stressful as freak, but if i want to move up and make like 200k a year thats what i got to do.
And if I decide to spend the next 3-4 years spending 80-90~ hours a week in school/working + studying I dont want some jerkoff saying I should be paying 50% of my wage in taxes because the world isnt fair and that im successful because im a white man
I didn't say I didn't go to school. I said I don't have a degree. I went for computer science, and at the time people with masters degrees were working at gas stations. I opted to forego college to pursue a career. I was saying that in this day and age if you don't have a degree, you are not playing on an even playing field.
My previous post is that today's society is having a hard time because they can't afford the necessities in life. Let alone school loans (which is not what I was talking about). The banking system is in complete disarray, and the economic outlook for the next generation is even worse.
I believe the argument started out with 200x or 1000x the average wage. I was trying to generalize the financial system this country lives in. If people aren't making money, they can't spend it. If they can't spend it, companies can't thrive. If companies can't thrive, than people can't make money. It is an endless cycle and is only getting worse.
20 years from now, the national cost of living is going to double, triple or worse, IMO. Wages are going to stay stagnant, and therefore only big corporations are going to thrive, and small business will be a thing of the past.
FTR, I commend anyone that has the ambition to move up in the world. However, I don't think a piece of paper should dictate who is qualified and who isn't. There is no better teacher than experience.
