I have great respect for people who can make it through life without a
formal education. They have fewer options, but that doesn't preclude
them from making a positive contribution to society (socialist though
it may be, of course).


Indeed, but loogy apparently was trying to make some sort of point
regarding the starting salary value of certain college degrees.
Would you like fries with that? Or, how would you like your steak
cooked?


Eww... I never eat at fast food "restaurants" if I can help it. I only
eat steak once or twice a month at most. I treat it as a delicacy, not as
a staple.

My sister worked at a restaurant in old town Alexandria back in 1981
during the summer of her freshman/sophomore year at college. She was
pulling in an average of $200 a night. Makes the $1.60 an hour she was
getting paid meaningless.

I have a great respect for music majors also. Talk about limited job
prospects!


Music majors make great computer programmers. Philosophy majors make very
good computer programmers too.


So I guess a liberal arts education is ok after all! lol
