Engineering has always been the one major with a good payout. If only I had been good in maths...sigh.

infinite monkey · 12-13-2011, 09:17 AM

Me to. I done good in English. No money in it, tho.

Yet my differential aptitude test in HS suggested I be a rocket scientist. Yeah. Right. Is there a job for 'good test taker'?

That was very enlightening. I wish there was something like this for master's degrees.

It seems like every time you get another degree your income goes down.

I should have never gone past 6th grade, dammit!

Please stop now, for a breather.

Higher education (degrees) may be just union cards for some,
but it can be so much more... leading to a life with more interests
and appreciation of things, other than the "job".

OMG, but I hated it when my folks sat around the dinner table,
and bitched about their "jobs". Who said what... What was said back.

My folks encouraged me to go on to college, and then through grad school, and then post-doc.
By then, my HS friends were in jobs, had families, and had "things".

While in college, I was jealous and frustrated. It took several years
to catch up on the $, but I believe my life and my family's life were
so much better due to time in college and university.
And, I enjoyed my career... a lot.

Debt is one thing, but it's not irreversible.
Earning a living is necessary, but it's not sufficient.

If you add the three red ones together from slide 2 (all cell phone related) it totals up to about 400,000 and the second deadliest cause behind inattention.

What does this mean? The car is in motion but no one is behind the wheel?

Gotta be a parked car getting hit by something. Our car has been in two accidents and both were no driver present. (Can't avoid the idiots trying to hit you if you aren't in the car.)

The "caller" died in the accident ?

Pico and ME · 12-14-2011, 11:58 AM

I don't understand the 'no driver present'.

eda - me too, lol

classicman · 12-14-2011, 12:07 PM

Just guessing here -
The car was hit by another car while parked?
The car rolled down a hill or was left in gear?
The driver was

in the backseat?

Undertoad · 12-14-2011, 12:19 PM

But no driver present only represents about 210 crashes (n.b. classic, the numbers aren't listed in thousands)

It's gotta be, they left off the e-brake and the car rolled downhill until it hit a moving vehicle.
