And your point is?
It's not that difficult to find a field where you will make a very decent living if you're among the top 10% in intelligence. It's almost hard not to.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Nope but the point is that the right degrees can almost guarantee good employment. As for my academic abilities, I don't think they were ever in question but I have no doubt I could have gotten a PhD in physics if I had chosen that path. Instead I picked something else.You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo

physics is easy, I'm certain Flubber could of gotten a PhD in it.
Healthcare is a tricky subject, as ppl are more willing to pay for something when they are in pain. It's kind of like the old saying; why are divorces so expensive? because they're worth it... only with healthcare instead of divorce. You get what I'm saying.

But its not a matter of finding someone to "give you " a job like its a favor or something. Instead I made a choice of a field with a low unemployment rate and was confident in my ability to perform at a level that finding employment wasn't a big issue.
Kid it seems your attitude is almost always passive. In most cases people go out and GET jobs, they are not given.
This seems to permeate your writing . . . The capitalist just has or was given his capital. You can't have any sense that he might have worked his ass off to earn and accumulate that capital to get in the way of your outrage of how unfairly the world treats the workersLast edited by Flubber; February 3, 2005, 17:22.You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo

It's not an easy subject.
There are obviously less challenging subdisciplines in it, but even they require passing courses which I have no fear of saying that 99% of the general public would not pass and would never be able to pass.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Sure...
I'm naturally better at it than almost anybody I know, but it gets to be very nontrivial very rapidly at a certain level.
That depends. If it were easy we'd have a cure for cancer by now wouldn't we?12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

And I'm being pretty serious here. Physics is full of ****ing smart people. I wish it weren't true. Would make my life easier.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

None of the people with physics degrees who I know are stupid. Maybe arrogant *******s, but not stupid by any means. I'd have to agree with KH.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
