If you don't like the way it is the young and even not so young can drop out. Grow their hair, buy a guitar and jig up and down like demented chickens WGAF or NGAFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is total bullshit I got friends with mechanical engineering degree with 5-6 years of expeerience looking for a job. They sent hundreds of resumes in TX but the response is always same; "You have experience in defense industry but we need someone with energy industry experience" This is total bullshit, since machine is a machine. It is the same principal same logic but companies are overwhelmed with thousands of resumes pouring in so they are more picky I work for an energy company as a credit analyst and I applied to many jobs within the company for more technical positions like risk analyst or supply pricing and the like. All those jobs are filled with engineers or PHDs who accepted the $60-$65K/year. Gone are the old days. wake up The job market is fucked up right now.
When you can employ 30 Indian graduates for the price of 1 Western grad it all makes sense. Everyone expects to be paid too much for an 8 hour day.
Sadly what you have written is very true. This is, I suppose, why we can expect the health care industry to fight tooth and nail against legalizing euthanasia --but of course they will have high sounding "good" reasons: deaf panels, etc. Who among us wants to wither away in a nursing home, kept drugged and barely alive until all our assets have been subsumed by the "healthcare" industry? One possibility is to transfer ownership of all your assets to your heirs while you are still healthy, and at least five years before you expect to become a vegetable in a nursing home. Then being officially destitute you will qualify for medicaid. (There is a time limit under which this won't work.) But why should the taxpayers' money be transferred on your behalf to the health industry. Where is the fairness in that? Or perhaps move, while you are still able, to Oregon. I believe physician assisted euthanasia is legal there, isn't it? Why should we have to bother with any of this in our old age? It's ridiculous. The U.S. has become a ridiculous country. The U.S. health care industry is ultimately a disaster for everyone except those feeding directly at the trough!
So far as I am aware this isn't a factor in U.S. Universities. I know of no legitimate U.S. graduate programs where ones country of origin determines the amount of your stipend. Do you? Stipends do vary, of course, depending on whether one is supported by research grant money, a teaching assistantship, fellowship, etc., and possibly also on how far along you are in your particular program. Currently, in the sciences, stipends for pre-doctoral graduate students are typically in the 15-25K range, depending on location, discipline, and local cost of living: lower in some other regions, higher in others. Graduate students in the sciences work twelve months, with little time off. The primary reason their are many foreign graduate students in some disciplines is that there is a shortage of qualified U.S. students in those disciplines, and stipends are awarded competitively on the basis of merit.
Immortality may be only 20 - 2 = 18 yrs away. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/...tality-only-20-years-away-says-scientist.html Let's double that figure for possible error. That don't suck.
At some point you may learn about DNR. Many states allow you to file a DNR so that you can be "looked up" by the medical industry. In AZ, a FAX is sent to the inquirer and the background is a solid orange color to call attention to the DNR which is cosigned and notarized and delivered by the AZ state government immediately. You may also wish to research the SOP of skipping inheritance taxes. Thirdly, the health industry maintains it's competitiveness by using a CMS based "safety net". The safety net applies to A, B C and D (especially the donut hole) portions of CMS and is but a few thousand dollars as a line in the sand. Also, I reread you post and see, further that you do not know how Medicard runs out and becomes Medicaid. All of this is automatically avoided by using the safety net in order that Medicare is prevented from running out. there is an enrollment period coming up 15OCT; trundle down to any workshop offered by the health industry (they are free of charge) and you will get trinkets as well.
Jack, I would have liked to have read your post, as you may have had something useful to say, but i found it to be unintelligible gibberish, other than the part about the Do Not Resuscitate directive. Perhaps you can find someone that can translate it into English for you, and re-post. I think perhaps you were trying to refer to the features of Medicare, but I am not sure. If so, I don't believe Medicare covers nursing home expense. Even with Medicare part D, which is the drug coverage portion, out of pocket expenses can be difficult to afford for many seniors of moderate means until they are past the "doughnut hole."
