I'm grateful for my liberal arts education and I often think about the
wisdom of my dad, who urged me to avoid "trade school" college courses
that he said would become obsolete in my lifetime. He was a first
generation American whose parents sacrificed mightily to help him get
through college, where he majored in the liberal arts.

Not that I believe you, as I don't, but a bugger all degree is nothing
to brag about. Just means you didn't have what it takes to become an
engineer, medical or some other degree requiring rationality.


Thus confirming that you have no upper-level education...


Canuck has an associate's degree in single-entry bookkeeping...


Heeeeeeeeheeeeeee
