    This is a moot point. Paris Hilton probably has a higher net worth than 10,000 Grigori Perelmans.

    ...irony is, when you are complaining about something although you are making the exact same logical fallacy....

  6. According to that article, guys like me, the illogical types, are outsourcing auditing and accounting work to India for 23k annually whereas in the US the same rout work would cost us 70k plus--- no wonder you say my posts are irrational and illogical--- I don't blame you.

  8. "The unemployment rate for college graduates in April was just 3.9 percent, vs. 11.6 percent for people with less than a high school education. "

    Education still matters, but we also need to supplement it will more skills that are and will be needed in the coming years/decades.

  9. This is symptomatic of arguments in general- it is far easier and concise to prove a point with dramatic anecdotes (which is also what you have done here) than to attempt to address the many nuances of what are typically complicated situations.
