Life Choices Matter

Life Choices Matter
Your Life Choices Matter

Your life choices matter, and the first major life choice people make largely for themselves is the choice between going to college or entering the workforce. It’s the choice than will financially decide their future more often than not. And, frankly, a lot of young people have been indoctrinated into making that choice without any real thought.

4-Year Degree vs. Skilled Trades

OK, to start with, this chart seems off to me in its details, though the premise is sound. The average debt accrued for a baccalaureate is $32,000 – $59,000, not $90,000. I also, if we’re going for numbers which are both more conservative and, IMHO, much closely matching “Blue Collar” salaries across the US, I’d set the starting salaries in the $12 – $18/hour range.

As I said though, the premise is still sound. Having earned $117,060 – $150,500 over 4 years is a lot better than having earned nothing and having accrued $32,000 – $59,000 that you will, presumably, have to repay at some point. The tradesman, after 4 years is $149,060 – $209,500 ahead of the college graduate in total earnings and on his or her to establishing a life.

And, BTW, that college graduate most likely won’t catch up anytime soon. The average salary for someone with a 4-year degree is $69,368 compared to the tradesman’s $64,770, but for an average of 20 years that graduate will be loosing on average $2,880/year in loan payments, bringing his or her effective income to $66,490, a meager $1720 more than the tradesman. That means it will take well over 50 years before the graduate “catches up” to the total earnings of the tradesman. This is literally more than the span of time – 40 – 50 years – most Americans work.

And remember, these numbers and predictions are based upon my believed-to-be-corrected and lowered numbers. If the chart is closer to being correct than I am, for either debt accrued or salaries, it’s even worse for the college graduate, who could be almost $315,000 in total earnings behind the tradesman.

Honestly, people need to make informed life choices instead of blindly following the government’s propaganda that has pushed getting a college degree as the primary and preferred, if not only, means of being successful since at least as far back as the early 1960s.

Roadside Chivalry In 2023

Roadside Chivalry In 2023
Roadside Chivalry In 2023 And Beyond

ROFLMAO That about sums up roadside chivalry in 2023 – and beyond if Americans don’t force a course correction. But, what’s truly sad is this is actually an improvement, because most of the Millennial and Gen Z bois can’t change a tire right now. So, genderfucked and tranny sorts being able and willing to do so is actually better. 🙄

#MAGA Pulchrum Est

#MAGA Pulchrum Est
(Click to Enlarge)

#MAGA is beauty. This goes deeper and beyond the thought that #MAGA girls are beautiful. This is the fundamental truth that, for America, #MAGA is beauty itself, the very foundation of the concept thereof.

Amor Patriae Verum Pulchritudo
Omne Mendacium Est

Rather simply put, at least for those of us that haven’t completely eschewed Latin: Amor Patriae Verum Pulchritudo. Omne Mendacium Est. Patriotism is beauty. All else is lies. A woman’s face and figure can count for much, but true beauty comes from the content of her character and her love of- and loyalty to her nation and her People.

Reject lies and liars in all matters. Seek true beauty and cleave unto them that possess it. #MAGA!

Mediocre Male Athletes

Mediocre Male Athletes Improving Their Standings

In these times, mediocre male athletes have ways of improving their standings in their sports, gaining approval for doing so, and raking in the cash from their new endorsement contracts. And the only cost is to the safety, fairness, and sanctity of women’s sports.

So, go for it, Bois and Gurls. Lack of ability is no longer necessarily a barrier. 😉 Hellfire! In these times, even if you’re not good enough to dominate in the Women’s leagues, you’ll be considered brave enough to still get those high-dollar endorsements.

ROFLMAO! But… erm…ummm… Probably not as much of a joke as it once was. Not, at least, with ESPN adding Excel spreadsheets to their eSports lineup. 🙄 #AccountantsGoneWild indeed!
