Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.unwarranted optimism can be an expensive deadly trap.
the sad truth is that ordinary ppl with their ordinary degrees are pretty well screwed.
only those with degrees in maths, sciences which is basically computers have a real chance of making above avg incomes.

My undergrad was in business (specifically accounting and finance). I seem to be doing just fine from an earnings perspective.
@Piratefish ,
i have an associates in bus admin. i seem to remember a fair amount of math e.g. the math of finance.
should have said--degrees which require math.
Should have bought the lottery ticket instead. Might have had better odds...

I always roll my eyes when I hear someone spew out any sort of " God will provide" talk. I then butt in and say something like "I'll be waiting the same way on my lottery number coming in". Usually shuts them up.

It's unfortunate, but the simple truth is that many believers feel that they have a "safety-net" because god will see them through any/all situations.
Which is a great comfort as long as everything actually works out.. and why so many cling to it.

Yeah, I used to think that too. When God didn’t help me, it was God testing me. There is always an excuse for the religious mindset.
God is rescuing or testing..... Never. Indifferent cough i mean ficticious.
