Disbursed in 1992.  :rotf:

Why didn't they photoshop the disbursement date to be in 2002 or something?

My best friend graduated from law school.  She has debt in the six figures.  She isn't bitching & moaning for someone to pay her debts for her.  Should I tell her she can "occupy graduation" and take poops on police cars to get her student debt to disappear?

Even my broke ass made money during Clinton's dot com boom.  Granted, I was working two jobs from 9am until midnight, but a rising tide lifts all boats. 

I managed to fit in a few general education credits at the time.

If she's really cute, she might be able to make some money from that.  :p

I'm just curious, how many of your classmates that majored in either of those two have a job in that field?

My degree is information technology and I spent more years since then working in a different occupation than what I studied (banking, customer service).

The forestry guys?  All of them, last I knew.
Horticulture?  Not so sure, don't keep up with them so much, I know a third for sure.  But to put it into perspective, the company helped pay for my horticulture degree because they were expanding, wanted a couple on staff, and couldn't find them.   
Sadly, our culture has a reverence for education that is bordering on foolish.  Put me up against a guy with fifty years in the business and no degree or certifications, and in this day and age I will win that bid a majority of the time based simply on a few pieces of paper.  Is it right?  No.  But that's why I have the degrees.  Heck, can't even do some state contracts without them.

That happened to my father.  He worked for the same company for 27 years (three short of retirement) and they let him go because young guys were cheaper.

Holy freaking crap!  I graduated from college around the time that alleged receipt came out.  For those who have known me and/or pay attention to my posts over the years, ya' know where I went to undergrad.  It wasn't cheap.  But when I graduated, I owed zero.  And I don't come from a wealthy family.

Same for my ex-wife, she & I both put ourselves thru grad school via loans, and were paid off by the time we were 30.  I don't know anyone my age that still carries student loan debt, unless they went later in life...meaning recently...late 30's etc.

I'm convinced DUmmies need student loan debt relief....don't ever, ever loan a DUmmie money for a college education...debt relief accomplished.

I got a college degree in business, with a minor certificate in farm operation and management, because of the family business.

3 years later, I was driving a truck for the next 20 years.

I know of one new photographer without a degree. He has skill and is developing his own business the old fashioned way. By gaining a following by doing good work for a fair price.

radical idea, eh ?

BTW - a couple of samples from this person..





How he can do this without a graduate degree in photography is entirely beyond me.   :panic:
My husband can do that as well. He didn't go to college but he did go to the Navy's biomedical photography school.
