  • And who cares? A lot of people in the trades make more than even engineers. Who cares if someone acts like you’re uneducated when you’re earning 3x as much as them and they have to call you to get stuff fixed.

    I makes 0 sense to go 6 figures inti debt to get an arts degree just to later become a barista at Starbucks or an HR rep. And that discrimination won’t end until people start bucking the trend


  • No, the problem is that too many people were pushed to get degrees that don’t lead to a career path, and go into debt to do so. It’s caused non-specific degrees to be worthless by oversaturation.

    You don’t need a bachelor’s for philosophy or history. Go read books or take online courses if you’re interested, but do so alongside learning skills for a career. You can make a lot of money in the trades, and it doesn’t prevent you from learning more for your own enjoyment










  • That was by far the easiest way for them to ensure the water was safe to drink.

    Actually, the alcohol in beer isn’t concentrated enough to kill off most microbes. Even yeast doesn’t die off until you start getting >13%, and there’s varieties of yeast that can tolerate twice that concentration.

    The reason why beer was safer to drink than water is because the brewing process requires it to be boiled. Beer was preferrable to boiled water due to taste and because it provided an extra source of calories
