    First cut off one arm, then you will be valuable as the advisor who can't say 'on the other hand'

    i graduated with a BA in economics from UC Berkeley last august, right when subprime mess began to accelerate.

    haven't been able to find a job since so i'm switching careers now, going back to school, getting a BS in computer science. Should take about 1 1/2 years since I don't have to do all the pre-reqs and general eds.

  6. Credentials do not equal Capability.

    You're on your own now. But going into debt for a second worthless degree isn't going to help either.

    There comes a time when the aegis of the gods is removed from the hero and the hero must stand on their own, you know?

    i know that, but if i don't have the credentials, no one will allow me a chance to show my capability.

  8. I think economists are useless realy, they have no place or purpose, I have 5% left of my degree in economics, but I realy see no point in completing it.

  10. When they send you your degree in the mail, use it as a catch rag.
