I think America is build on the idea everyone who makes living with their hands and hard work is lower class. Very healthy mentality

Well to be fair the idea is that anyone can do physical work just excercise. But leading a company is a lot of difficult responsibility.

You too can work your hands to the bone for $13/hr. and be told a raise in minimum wage would tank the economy.

Of course not. It has to be one or the other. Or in my case, neither.
I use woodworking as a way to de-stress from being a lawyer.

This is the stuff that people work all their life so they can retire and do. Reminds me of the fisherman and the businessman story.
kaynewesticle
What's the story?
A rich businessman is on holiday on a greek island or whatever and lectures a fisherman about how he could grow a huge fishing business 1/2
So one day he might be rich enough to retire and live his days as... a simple fisherman which he already is
ImHereToTellYouThatsWrong
the part of the story i didn't like is where the fisherman dies anyway, because he didn't have the money to see a doctor

When I was young I wanted to be a diesel mechanic and my uncle told me don't turn your hobby in to your profession. Best advice I've 1/3
stealthycoin
Good advice in general. My hobby was programming and I'm glad that's what I do for work. So it's not always true. Depends on the hobby!
I've always wanted to try my hand at programming. I'm about as far as you can go with electronics without getting in to microcontrollers.
I love it because I can go into almost any field and work on almost anything alongside teams doing again... almost anything. Very fun.
Awesome stuff. What code do you use most? And what others do you know. My guess would be C++ and or Basic.
I use Python at my current job. As for overall code base I think C/C++/Java is tied for most used, with Java/Python being fastest growing.
got. I'm setting here replacing my timing belt and a plastic clip on the cover was giving me a hard time and I thought if this was a 2/3

any of my hobbies, make more (questionably), and have benefits. All of these would be hard considering the specific hobbies.

No, this is wrong. Some people *are* doctors and lawyers. You mean "not everybody is a doctor or lawyer" not "everybody isn't".

Hey, quick question. Why do people in school studying engineering call themselves engineers? Do all of them already have jobs?
Most spend multiple years as an intern and have landed a full time job in the fall of their last year. At least that's how it worked at NDSU
Well knowing alot of them, in like 2nd year not even finished with pre reqs. Calling themselves engineers because that's what they chose 2
As a major. Idk maybe it's me ranting but you don't hear people in school to become a doctor calling themselves a doctor
Because they're pretentious douches. Source: I did engineering.
I learned that real quick lol.

What's crazy is the median net worth of Americans is around $44k. College is still the best way to end up on the right side of that.
ballpeenX
http://money.cnn.com/2014/06/11/news/economy/middle-class-wealth/
yup
You mean annual net income?
According to CNN & Wikipedia, median net worth is $45k per adult, about $85k per family. I know, similar to income #s as well
Sounds about right. Lots of folks with no real estate, or with unpaid off real estate.

sinbios
Are you including the kids who didn't even go to college in your average?
I think when they look at average amount of college debt they only look at folks who actually have college debt. Figuring in folks without 1
any would make it 'average debt from student loans', not 'average student loan debt'. Yes those mean completely different things. 2/2

I was about to protest, then I remembered my mortgage...
vDorothyv
I was about to protest but I just got my mortgage preapproval letter, time for house hunting

NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior

astrakko
My first career year cost me 2000€
rainerclouds
Doctor here. Double that figure.
123angelsandairwaves123
Doctor I know is in the hole 250k...but give him 10 years and he'll be sitting pretty
theacp127
One of my cousins became a Dr and had $350k in debt, but got a great job and paid it off.
LightHousesRuleIII
Recent college grad, can confirm. (Engineer )
TheUsernameGothamNeeds
Recent engineer grad. Got paid to go to Alabama for just having a 32 on the act, you chose wrong.
mayurisan93
Hey, quick question. Why do people in school studying engineering call themselves engineers? Do all of them already have jobs?
LightHousesRuleIII
Most spend multiple years as an intern and have landed a full time job in the fall of their last year. At least that's how it worked at NDSU
mayurisan93
Well knowing alot of them, in like 2nd year not even finished with pre reqs. Calling themselves engineers because that's what they chose 2
mayurisan93
As a major. Idk maybe it's me ranting but you don't hear people in school to become a doctor calling themselves a doctor
TheUsernameGothamNeeds
Because they're pretentious douches. Source: I did engineering.
mayurisan93
I learned that real quick lol.
thundercactus
Canadian here, $350k in debt. Not really a big deal tho.
123angelsandairwaves123
From what? Not higher education?!
thundercactus
From a house, but debt is debt. A doctor will have more capacity to pay off a loan than I will in 10 years =)
Troygbiv
Real estate!

Just started college as an English major, I'll be there in no time.
Harvestkitten
I was an English major. Followed my dreams right into an accounting position.
ProfessorJoeCarroll
Beautiful how dreams work out isn't it?
takeoffyourvestyoulooklikealaddin
English degree here...I had planned on law school, then realized I'd rather die. I'm an exec asst at a financial firm. Love it.
123angelsandairwaves123
Try a fine arts major like my brother....oh and he went to a 4yr private college too....
Durbs12
Protip to not-OP: a technical degree in an english field is better than an english degree in a technical field.

Can I get a grande americano no room for cream?
ProfessorJoeCarroll
Sorry, we're all out, but I'll gladly brew you a fresh pot of gofuckyourself. It's on the house.
spliffandskateboarding
Just a little salty
Canisiel
What does one do with a degree in English? Go around the internet correcting people's grammar?
ProfessorJoeCarroll
Not me personally. You see, I'm in creative writing, so that would be the editor's job
takeoffyourvestyoulooklikealaddin
Well, yes, but I also correct people's grammar in real life!
kakum31
What if I told you that you can build cool stuff with your hands AND be 100 in debt? You can have it all.
Elroydb
AND those debts can actually be discharged in bankruptcy court. Or upon death
ferdturguson
My wife's cousin did just that. He got a masters in psychiatry, but spends his days making benches to sell at swap meets.
Beegeezee505
But wait! There's more!
IAintCheatin
Please go on sir
mirrorz
Just making sure you're not my brother. He hasn't paid taxes in almost 20 years either.
PaprikaSix
Robert "Ronald" Trump, is that you?
Genotex
But... how? Where I live he'd have been arrested a couple of times in that time span.
mirrorz
He makes expensive art pieces and sells them. Deals in cash or barters. Never reports anything.
Genotex
Oh. So he's just one of those people.

What's crazy is the median net worth of Americans is around $44k. College is still the best way to end up on the right side of that.

imnicetopeopleontheinternet
yup
KckUNjUbR6GMwpnD
You mean annual net income?
imnicetopeopleontheinternet
According to CNN & Wikipedia, median net worth is $45k per adult, about $85k per family. I know, similar to income #s as well
LvAllen
Sounds about right. Lots of folks with no real estate, or with unpaid off real estate.
pelusita35
I was researching master's degrees. It said median income would be in the 30k range. The degree cost 45k.
popau
What if I told you that the average amount of college debt kids take in the US is 30k?
Dirtyeel
Right? The University of Minnesota is like 14k a year. Unless you're from out of state.
PeacockFeathers
68K over here
sinbios
Are you including the kids who didn't even go to college in your average?
FicklePickle13
I think when they look at average amount of college debt they only look at folks who actually have college debt. Figuring in folks without 1
FicklePickle13
any would make it 'average debt from student loans', not 'average student loan debt'. Yes those mean completely different things. 2/2
outdoorsman
I had 2x that and I went to a d2 school
Dirtyeel
Did you go out of state? Or was it private?
outdoorsman
In state, public, white male, middle class, B average, never received any of the hundred or so scholarships I applied for.
Dirtyeel
Dang, what state?
