I have an English Language and Literature degree, and my wife has a Psychology degree.
Okay, so we all know psychology is useless anyf**kingway, but still. I have a friggin universal degree (practically), and I still can't find work outside the home (even with teaching experience).

sh*t, English is my major.   Although, I do plan to either minor in Business Admin or double major, depending on how many classes I will have to take. Have you ever thought of teaching abroad?

| To be fair, I went to a private school for one year, and my wife went to one her whole "academic" (psychology hahahaha) career. So that helped raise the overall price, but still.
And teaching abroad? Hell no. I'm a comfortable, fatass, xenophobic American who likes beer and Judge Judy.

In Soviet Russia, Judge Judy doesn't judge you.

Psh Rob, 30k isn't so bad for 2 people. There are plenty of private schools that cost that much per year! Hell, my state school was 20 per year.

Oh yeah, I bet those Pell Grants for 4000 made a huge difference. I don't know what to do about education but our current system is terrible. $4000 doesn't get you sh*t!

I don't have high standards, but I draw the line at Ramen. There are some things a man can't do.

(Although, for the record, I've always cooked that on a stove or hot plate- never in a microwave).

I think there always has to be a way for you to live without eating Ramen noodles. At least, if there is a just God.
James, you should have told me Chaotic Commands prevents the mind flayers from psionic stunning you! That makes it so much easier!
