  • I think presuming that most have degrees would be a mistake.

    But yes, I have a degree in English and Spanish literature.

    • No. Did you know that America yearly educates 2.4 lawyers per inhabitant?

    • Precisely. I would have hung myself from the basement rafters.

  • I presume most of us doesn't have any degrees. That's also why so many of us are creative and good marketers.

    Personally, I have some degree type of thing in Sales and Marketing from Oslo business school and another degree called 'Management in the retail sector' (It's a weird name so it's hard to translate). It's not any bachelor degrees or anything, but it took me 4 years to complete them.

    And you know what they say about people who don't learn the lessons of History? They end up being highly successful and writing books and being self-employed.

    I can always offer people cream of cauliflower soup with paprika and cashewnuts, you know ...

    I like this assertion. Not only the way it differentiates between "lawyers" and "people", but its magnitude. I took it as meaning 2.4 per thousand population, but now I think about your litigous society, maybe 2.4 per person is actually nearer the mark?

    I'm a Ph.D. student. Does that count?

    • Alexa; To tell you the truth, a college education would help most anyone, even if they are going to be self employed all their life. Having a broader range of knowledge (my expertise is very one dimensional) helps in many ways. The social skills developed in college are a great asset. And, if you're lucky, it can awaken a love of learning you may not have had earlier.

      I was lucky. I still had a love of learning, and ambition...I just didn't like high school. My social skills developed later in life, and college experience (or any experience with a solid group of intelligent people) would have made the journey easier, I think.

      I already know that you have an appreciation and understanding of art and culture, that I'll never develop. And I'll bet college is the key...and intelligence.

      It will.

  • I got a second degree burn last week using a pressure washer. Can't say I'm really proud of it either.

    A college or university degree has become a burning desire for me over the last two years though.
