Comment Brainwashing (Score 1) 716

IMHO... yeah. CERTAINLY over hyped. The vast majority of college age kids have no clue whatsoever about what they'd like to do for the rest of their lives. They go to college because... everybody is going to college.

If you know what you're interested in "AND" you need college to get a degree in it, go for it. But if you haven't a clue, what are you thinking?

If you like to drive truck, work with your hands, tear engines apart, work with plumbing, etc. etc. etc. you'll never be happy in any other field. Maybe a trade school would work for you. Or just an apprenticeship with someone you know. And if you're good at it you'll likely make more than the vast majority of college grads and be happy for the rest of your life.

Comment What most miss. (Score 3, Insightful) 555

See, the thing most miss is that when higher incomes had higher taxes they'd have to look for tax breaks by hiring, diversifying, expanding, whatever.

With taxes low they can just invest in the stock market. Less aggravation, likely higher (and lower taxaable) income.

So, the markets bloom, they get richer with no aggravation with hiring, firing, building costs, overhead, etc. While the average guy starves.

Comment Can't figure out how to use anything but outlook? (Score 1) 173

Never grasped the concept behind this ruling. IE is essentially integrated into the OS. It's free. There are tons of free browsers out there.

On the other hand, outlook, the email prog that hackers love, stays and no one even mentions it. Even tho there's a bunch of not free email progs out there that have to compete.
