ok. listen. i realize that this is a subtle argument about currencies. it really is. you can look at it a dozen ways, some good and some bad. let's just back up to the 10000 foot view, as a ruducto ad absurdum argument. if having a weak currency is GREAT, then the countries with the weakest currencies should be the BEST countries to be in, right? here are a list of the 10 weakest currencies in the world:
Lebanese pound (LBP) Iranian rial (IRR) Vietnamese dong (VND) Sierra Leonean leones (SLE) Laotian kip (LAK) Indonesian rupiah (IDR) Syrian pound (SYP) Uzbekistani sum (UZS)
question 1: how many of you have been to any of those countries? question 2: how many of you WANT TO GO to any of those countries? question 3: how many would want to move a business there? question 4: how many aspire to travel, work, or live there?
out of thirty two possibilities, i scored a ONE. how about any of you?

Another waste of student loan forgiveness - $250,000 to a music student dissolved -
He says "Beyond financial goals, Lambdin said the relief was also allowing him the freedom to pursue some of his long-term dreams, including taking a sabbatical to study with his meditation teacher in India". This is what I object to.
So when the guy was 18 he picked a major thinking a four year degree would allow him to support himself and pay back the loan - not realizing that a music degree doesn’t always equal a high paying job. He’s probably paid what he could for years, maybe decades, and probably has nearly as much debt now as he did when he started. I figure if he gets his loans erased, he can put that money back into the economy - buy a house, a new car, clothes, eat out, whatever. If all the lower earning people struggling with that kind of debt suddenly had the freedom to buy things, imagine what a bump it would be to our economy. But no - you want this guy to struggle the rest of his life, hacking away bit by bit at his student loans, until he finally dies and they get erased that way. I think it’s stupid we don’t provide more information to young adults trying to decide whether or not they should take out student loans - they need help calculating what their earning potential might be, and how long it might take to pay those debts off. I bet a lot of them would decide, instead, to go with a trade program, or pick a different major, if they had all the facts. But now that we have a bunch of adults several decades out of college who aren’t earning enough to put a dent in their student loan debt, I have no problem helping them get out from under that particular load. Helps the economy in the long run.

I would travel to five of those countries only because of their archeological history. No plan for any type of extended stay.

really? what i object to is that musicians spend 10000 hours learning their craft and then get paid $100/night. to each our own, i suppose. Also the article leaves out how much his loans were initially and the various interest rates. I have a feeling the current loan amount is higher than when he left school.

Well this is terrifying.
Salon is reporting that Trump intends to push out conservative groups like the Heritage group from having any control of the party. He already has is DIL Lara running the RNC. Eric and Don Jr will be employed to screen all potential admin officials to keep out people like John Bolton from the new Admin. Just 100 percent Trump family members and toadies.
At least in the last Trump admin I could pretend there were adults in the room t

I'm just shocked - SHOCKED, I say- that you think the people who curate the art pieces displayed in museums should have to pay for their degrees without loans. Do you think the knowledge of what's valuable and authentic isn't important enough? That it's a "bullshit degree"? Wow. Just one example.

I like how Biden baked loan forgiveness into the new loan terms so there shouldn't be these ballooning amounts anymore and "debt forgiveness" programs will disappear from the news. People will just be paying their loans according to the terms and in 10-20 years, no matter what (even if payments are set to $0), they'll be gone.

The problems are that the system is inherently corrupt, lenders are too well protected by law, and the general public (and especially kids) are stupid about money.

I'm so glad I have a real degree (EE) and not a bullshit degree. What is your degree in? Maybe political science or ethics? Wait, I think they might be bs degrees. Just my opinion because only science and engineering count.

You see the type of society that conservatives want to build . Thereis no need for anything that makes life enjoyable, helps people in need, or anything that may not be “useful” to business. Go back to the Dark Ages.

That is great she found a way for it to pay well for her, as I am sure she worked very hard to get to that point. In the end thou art degrees on the most part have a very low salary compared to other fields.

They do nothing to build anything other than something to look at. Hmm, my oldest son has an arts degree, American Craftsman degree I believe it was termed. Furniture design, woodworking. Just something to look at? His first job was with a pipe organ restoration firm - combined both his extensive music background and woodworking and other stuff like electrical. Then he did a year in Americorp in inner city schools - math and especially music. They were thrilled he could also paint murals of Harriet Tubman and other people to inspire the students. Next he worked for a paper custom packaging company, bridging the gap between the print operators and die cutters on the floor and design in the office, building elaborate spreadsheets to track/match materials with appropriate machines, existing dies and forms, etc. Did some model making as needed. Now he's coding.

Just my opinion because only science and engineering count. I have a biology degree. It's an STEM degree but was made clear back on the old MSN board that is not the "correct" type of STEM degree. My degree is for people who can't hack real science and refuse to leave the ivory tower. I suck up all your tax dollars playing with fruit flies for absolutely no reason or benefit to the public. COVID was a giant middle finger to that attitude. There wouldn't be either shot without academic research going back to the 70s on corona viruses and mRNA.

Maybe the companies that need those types of people should pay for the schooling of all of them - not through salaries, but through grants or endowments. Leave the art world for people who are beautiful and care about such things.

ok. listen. i realize that this is a subtle argument about currencies. it really is. you can look at it a dozen ways, some good and some bad. let's just back up to the 10000 foot view, as a ruducto ad absurdum argument. if having a weak currency is GREAT, then the countries with the weakest currencies should be the BEST countries to be in, right? here are a list of the 10 weakest currencies in the world: Lebanese pound (LBP) Iranian rial (IRR) Vietnamese dong (VND) Sierra Leonean leones (SLE) Laotian kip (LAK) Indonesian rupiah (IDR) Syrian pound (SYP) Uzbekistani sum (UZS) question 1: how many of you have been to any of those countries? question 2: how many of you WANT TO GO to any of those countries? question 3: how many would want to move a business there? question 4: how many aspire to travel, work, or live there? out of thirty two possibilities, i scored a ONE. how about any of you? -Three in the category how many have you been to. I really did enjoy the weak dong while on vacation. - I would like to visit those three again I- it is my understanding that at least Vietnam is a place that companies want to move to - all three countries (the ones in Asia which are relatively close together) are way too hot and humid for me to move to. I have done 10 years in the tropics. That is enough to last me several life times.

In the end thou art degrees on the most part have a very low salary compared to other fields. So what? That doesn't make art degrees worthless. Some people want a career doing what they love and have a passion for, and not just how much money they can make. I'm sure that makes no sense to you because all conservatives care about is money, keeping the poor and minorities down, and controlling what women do with their bodies.
PS. Maybe you can look up the difference between thou and though (which is the right word). You failed English in school, didn't you?

That is great she found a way for it to pay well for her, as I am sure she worked very hard to get to that point. In the end thou art degrees on the most part have a very low salary compared to other fields. So what? That doesn't make art degrees worthless. Some people want a career doing what they love and have a passion for, and not just how much money they can make. I'm sure that makes no sense to you because all conservatives care about is money, keeping the poor and minorities down, and controlling what women do with their bodies.
PS. Maybe you can look up the difference between thou and though (which is the right word). You failed English in school, didn't you?Punctuation would be helpful also. There seems to be quite a bit missing.

Well this is terrifying. Salon is reporting that Trump intends to push out conservative groups like the Heritage group from having any control of the party. He already has is DIL Lara running the RNC. Eric and Don Jr will be employed to screen all potential admin officials to keep out people like John Bolton from the new Admin. Just 100 percent Trump family members and toadies. At least in the last Trump admin I could pretend there were adults in the room t That's why even the thought of a 2nd Trump administration scares the h*ll out of me. At least during the first term there were a few responsible adults in the room. I fear there wouldn't be any in there during a 2nd term. He did enough damage to the Supreme Court. If he gets his toadies into the military, we're ALL in trouble. I think I'll be checking with djAdvocate to see if he has any rental properties overseas.

Are we bemoaning the downfall of the heritage foundation?
WTF is happening to this country? When the HF starts looking responsible and moderate we have hit a big pile of shit.

You failed English in school, didn't you?Its great that people want to get a degree in what they are passionate about as long as they pay their way and if they do get student loans they pay it back and not bitch because of oh how little they earn. Can't have it both ways. No I didn't fail English I just don't give a damn on boards like this. I also could look thru all the posts and pick out several others on here with misspelling and "bad grammar" yet nothing is ever said to those just shows how bias, petty, ugly certain poster can be.

I don't want to hear shit about people paying their way when your lord and savior trump hasn't done that a day in his life.
