I think it's pretty cool. I got quite a few pocket knives and buck knives around the house about the same size too just cuz I think they look cool as well.

Thats a bad ass knife . I like it... how much it cost?


The people who don't pay back student loans are those who don't usually graduate nor care to have good credit for the rest of their life.

Its just going to take me quite some time to pay them back unless I hit the bbj (onetime)

I'm staring down the barrel to the tune of about 43K including my undergrad and masters. That number is light compared to what the average med school or law school grad is facing. They're like at the 100K level.

i think it was $13 on Ebay

hi-quality ldo

I'd like to hear what you have to say Fozzy. We probably share similar opinions on the subject.

The education system is so stupid right now. From an early age people are pressed to go to college. Which for a lot of people is good, but I think anyone who gradates from college with a "general studies" degree has wasted a great deal of time and money.

The bottom line is a lot of people would be better off going into the trades. I know far too many salesmen with psychology degrees.

The U.S has decided IMO that it should educate MORE not BETTER.

/rant

Tip for the kiddies.

Specialize. You will make more money I promise.

Over-bearing debt is a nice way to make the masses get up, go to work, and do it all over again, for their entire life.

i've been saying that for a long time. at my highschool they pretty much encouraged everyone to try and be an engineer or programmer etc. a very large % of people would be so much better off if they had someone to tell them they'd be a lot better off just learning to fix air conditioners or do hair or something.

Yeah, I was listening to a pretty well known motivational speaker on a CD my one friend wanted me to listen to and so I did. The guy got into the education side of things and made the point that getting a degree is not the same it used to be like it was back when some of our grand parents might have gone to college. Sure, it's good to show employers that you've managed to complete a certain level of discipline in a field, but nowadays that's becoming more of the norm, and people are paying a heavy price for it.

However, we are a bunch of poker players on this forum, so naturally I would imagine there would be quite a bit of bias in regards to education and advancing your career options lol.

getting a degree is still good, its just that most people aren't the kind of students that are actually going to finish, and not going at all is like a million times better than going and not finishing.

Most people I know are just straight up sheeple. They go to work, they don't think for themselves, and they have no real ambition to stand out. Getting rich is about not following the flock. That said MORE education is not BETTER education. I have applied to jobs that asked for my high school SAT scores or high school GPA. I mean really? I am a firm proponent of the theory that academic performance means **** in the workplace. Especially in finance (where I was working before the loleconomicdownturnaments). **** you, you Ivy League bastards!

There you go making the fatal flaw, that life is somehow about 'getting rich'.

bump

get rich or die tryin

fyp

In Germany if you don't pass a certain exam or get high enough marks while in highschool you go into a specialized trade area.

Why the U.S. lets all these morons waste money on college is beyond me. They used to have a financial interest, but now their is no third party in student loans. People just need to face it... some aren't cut out for it or would be better served doing something else.

And, in the end, the love you take/ Is equal to the love you make

Rich has many meanings. Rich in friends, in love, in happiness, in experience, the least of which is money. Money cannot buy love or happiness or even fulfilling experiences. However, if one is rich in these things first, then the quest for greatness is about being the best and achieving the most in whatever endeavor and the money follows suit.

That's really what I meant. If you become a sheeple you never have these things.

Dude, you're way off here in your second sentence. Currently there are 3 parties, you, the lender, and Uncle Sam. There should be NO third party AT ALL. The US government is backing more than 70% of all student loans outstanding. That's why the cost of eduction has gone up so considerably. Do you think Bank of America would give you a loan for 100K when they know your income will be roughly 35K on average when you leave school? No ****ing way! The bottom line is most of us are not credit worthy borrowers to that extent and without the US Government backing loans a large % of people would not be able to secure debt to cover college tuition. Completely privatizing student loans = less college students, lower tuition costs because of limits on what students can borrow, and more people going into manufacturing/trade jobs and producing more products.

But you try and stand on a podium in front of America and tell everyone that we need less people going to college and educating ourselves. I'm sure that would go over really big. There's no good way to tell American's that what we need is less schooling and more non-service industry productivity. We need to get back to innovation and making things.

You put what I was saying, with my smart-ass statements, into proper form. Well said.

I don't know who I'm trying to impress, but I've got about 27 hours to burn until the month is over and although I only had 3 actual weeks to play poker this month, my worst online session this month is -2.85 buyins. Solid brag? Granted I haven't been putting in as much volume as I used to or am capable of, but between online and live sessions this month I've got 15 winning sessions and 4 losing





So if anyone is interested tonight, I wouldn't mind donating some back to the micro brew community in a brew game ? if we can get one going tonight. If we choose FTP, I'm going to need someone to spot me for a transfer for the time being..





Who's up for it?

I started the month with a -1k day

Very solid giraffe, are you interested in a brew game too so we can donate some back to the micro community while our decent months are still intact?

And how comes I can't IM you? It says Unable to send message: In local permit/deny.

Very well stated Tefellin apparently I am wrong, but I could have sworn that student loans are becoming all privatized between your school and a bank/ financial institute. The government only gives out Subsidezed Stafford Loans which aren't nearly as much as what you get from a bank. I could be way off here to though.

Your statement about Bank America is kind of laughable cause I am pretty sure they got bailed out from the taxpayers for ****ty ass loans to people
