I think she's still slightly below the national average. Tom Send a noteboard - 30/05/2010 04:26:16 PM
Of course, if she lived somewhere OTHER than San Francisco she could get along fine on that amount of money. I read the comments on the article and they were in line with my own. One of them said that, just as she wanted to go to the "best" college and it cost her, so now she decided to live in the "best" place and it's costing her.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Have to agree here ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 30/05/2010 05:54:54 PM 732 Views
It's a column, not a real article... and it's more critical than you suggest. Legolas - 30/05/2010 04:02:26 PM 729 Views

Very bad life planning, and sadly, it's not an isolated case. Tom - 31/05/2010 04:01:46 AM 681 Views
Same. Humanities, while necessary, are something of a luxury given the numbers. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 07:35:25 AM 377 Views

I don't see the point in a humanities major if you aren't planning to get more than a bachelor's. Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 07:41:40 AM 843 Views
srsly. way to devalue a bachelor's degree, american society 9_9 LadyLorraine - 31/05/2010 08:07:47 AM 639 Views

Heh. True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:56:09 AM 269 Views
That's kind of a weak reason, though. Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 11:11:49 PM 670 Views
I'm pretty sure I didn't use that as my reason... Rebekah - 31/05/2010 11:15:32 PM 692 Views
That's true, although I don't know how many jobs that's useful for. Ghavrel - 01/06/2010 01:20:29 AM 665 Views
That's fine. And I didn't go to Uni to get a job. I went for the education. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:29:28 AM 850 Views
I want to make clear that I, as a humanities major, really do like the humanities. Ghavrel - 01/06/2010 09:37:39 AM 840 Views
