Wisdom in comments on a discussion thread on FreeRepublic.com, under a story where some college major was bemoaning her fate. Worth sharing:
“I worked 65 to 70 hours a week for 20 years. Does that count as 2 jobs?”
“A college degree doesn’t “guarantee” anything. Hard work, self-motivation, and dedication does. She can stuff her college loan debt . . . “
“Show up on time every day, make the boss look good, and be employed for life.”
“An education is a tool to earn wealth. Young people have ~40 years to make their living for retirement. If they can afford it they should open up an IRA ASAP. . . Unfortunately, the ‘honey-what-do-you-want-for-dinner’ kids were raised to chase their wants, not fulfill their needs.“
“I have always held the view that I am entitled to nothing that is in the control of other people, because that is a recipe for unhappiness.”
Speaking words of wisdom let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Speaking words of wisdom…let it be.
Make the little snowflakes read Thomas Sowell’s “Basic Economics”, then pass a simple test on it. Otherwise, no degree, ya crumb-crunchin’ leeches!!
The only people I know that don’t worry about money and only work 40 hours a week have military disability income and/or military retirement. So it’s safe to say they put it in the work to earn it.
