Here's a good list. Note that of the top paid careers, the words
Engineering or Science is in every one of the job titles. Notice the
abundance of the word "arts" in the lowest paid group!

Lists like that are interesting but somewhat meaningless. The really
big bucks are being made by doctors, lawyers, bankers, investment
managers, business owners/executives, real estate developers, etc.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, "top paid careers" is not
necessarily the incentive for many of those who attend college.

True, some people are dumb enough to spends tens of thousands of dollars
to work at the golden arches.

The people who make obscene amounts of money dropped out of college.



Those who shaped Western Civilization and thought were not, for the most
part, wealthy. Many of them, in fact, were paupers, but they gave us a
lot more than stories of their wealth. It's sad but telling that so many
of you righties only value the ability to earn large sums of money. Any
decent classroom teacher/nurse/social worker/fireman is more valuable to
society than *any* of you.

I notice you left out jingle writers. Good on you. ;-)

You do, however subscribe to the notion that "He who dies with the most
toys wins". Want to brag on that boat of yours? Or have you learned your
lesson? :-)

It's funny how they always talk about teachers, police, firefighters and
the children "WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN"!!! When in reality, most towns
around here took all the porkulus money and spent it on unnecessary
projects that outerwise wouldn't have been funded... and didn't need to be.

Gee around these parts, new fire stations were built, new equipment
bought, sidewalks put in, and on and on.

They did it without college too.

The idea that college is necessary "to learn how to think" is
ridiculous.
I imagine I have spent more time in class than most of the people
here, it just wasn't at a university.

I learned real skills, not some bull**** philosophy from a professor
that went to school at 5 and never left. These people have never
actually worked in the real world. Why would we expect any real world
knowledge from them.



You might not be aware of this, but you are presenting almost verbatim
the sort of response those who didn't go to college offer. It doesn't wash.

Sure it does. The fact that you didn't pick up any useful and meaningful
skills along your life's journey is no one's fault but yours.
