Masters degrees seem so lazy! Go for the doctorate at least.
If you are someone [upper middle class/don't care about finances/married rich] enough to be in the liberal arts or soft sciences, then you probably like school more than working anyway. Nahh, jk.

But recession = sucks for people who went the sensible advanced degree route (lawyer, MBA, architecture). Might as well have studied the history of philosophy and gender in the Middle Kingdom.

Well , Well, well~

This really caught my attention. I have a MPA (Masters in Public Administration) and yes, I have great personality too. I wanted to be financially able to enjoy life, and pay my bills. So that is why I went back to school.

I do know people that act like your blog states, and that is because they are not used to anything. Ex* They may have hit the lottery, and used to be poor, so now they think they are better than everyone else… same thing`

ANYWHOO~ I enjoyed the read, now it’s back to work.

I’m proud of who I am and I’m glad that this blog is here it makes us think. I do have a degree however, I don’t have a masters in sociology but I am glad to see that people are educating themselves. I don’t like plastic people but hell I know uneducated people that are plastic broke and cannot talk at all and are just as ignorant as people who are racist I think that is the worst. I’m just glad that our people or as some racist say nigs have it covered all across the board. INCLUDING PRESIDENT!!!! na na na na na na

Black Composers
Wadada Leo Smith, Joshua Uzoile, Cecil Taylor, Lucuis Weathersby, Delores White, James Kimo Williams, Julius P Williams, and Olly Wilson just to name a few there are so many more.
We have so many accomplishments but ignorance doesn’t recognize or appreciate any of them because they can’t get past color.

So what about the african-studies degrees? Don’t you nigs like that? I suppose your bizarre materialism is the reason that there are no black composers or artists of any significance. Sad, but amusing.

The author is entirely correct. Blacks with education, a little influence or money become insufferable. They rapidly emulate the biases and pretensions of those they secretly admire:namely whites. Unfortunately, blacks in this country desperately seek approval and acceptance from the white majority. Until they are comfortable judging their self-worth based on objective achievement rather than others perception, they’ll continue to behave in the strangest of ways.

I laughed my ass off, not only because of how many of these traits I’ve seen in people, but because I have a few myself. But I admit it! I get points for that, right?

I agree. I worked on a campus for almost 4 years and have encountered a lot of what you said. What was a bit insulting was when these idiots wonder ‘how come you know so much and you don’t have a degree’. I am working on a professional qualification in accounting right now and thought I would have escaped this but in this field its just a bad – they think its an excuse to speak badly to people ‘oh accountants more deal with numbers and not people so our social skills aren’t as apt…ha ha ha ‘ my black ass.

My God You guys are funny… everything about the world is in here… i mean everything…

Well, my two senses is that degrees don’t mean shit… I triple majored in Political Science, Economics, and philosophy ( BA), graduated in three years, and did a masters in quantitative finance with a thesis on philosophy and finance.. and will do a phd in economics… I have awards from Goldman Sachs, stock exchanges etc,…

and in the end after all this is said and done, i worry about my mortgage, con-ed bill. and my little boy learning to play ball….

As a philosopher i see wisdom in all subjects,… i have worked as a computer engineer, i have taught philosophy, I have played basketball, i have written on theology,…. i mean, why cant we just accept things and try to just be ourselves and live the good life… we create camps that are just horrible…

there are people who do not like me because i run a hedge fund. there are people who do not like me because im a libertarian… i mean,… or the fact that im a hedonist…

we should all be complexly ourselves.. masters, Bas, doctorate,,, all that good stuff.. let us just chill

In any case, this site was fresh air to the polite …
