    If you never went to college, what's the best job to have now?

    I assume your kid is actually you. I'd get into hyperbaric (underwater) welding or clean up crime scenes.

    Should fat people be forced to get a lap band procedure?

    Of course they're healthier than processed grains, but a carbohydrate is a carbohydrate. If you consume too many, you'll get fat. I just find it funny when I see Mr. and Mrs. Tubby at the grocery store scurrying to the whole wheat section of the bread aisle. These people need to eliminate wheat...

    Should fat people be forced to get a lap band procedure?

    Diet and nutrition counseling from whom? Government nutritionists? LOL, take a look at how completely asinine and backwards the food pyramid is. People actually believe whole wheat and grains are healthy.

    The case against college

    Yah, I prefer the "Eastern" education system like that in China where only 12% of adults have completed secondary school.

    The case against college

    You do realize that engineering programs grade on a curve these days, don't you? My roommate in college, a Chem-E major, once showed me a quiz that he scored 14% on. Guess what grade he earned on it? A "B". And this was UW-Madison, not Podunk State.

    Best Jobs in America

    Depends on what type of work a lawyer specializes in. The market is over-saturated with lawyers who possess useless undergrad degrees such as philosophy, psychology, and art history. However, patent lawyers with undergrad degrees in engineering or tax lawyers with undergrad degrees in accounting...

    It's not 1999 anymore. If you don't have the correct degree, you'll be competing with several people who do, even for clerk positions.

    Anyone who suggests that an American woman, especially their own daughter, move to the Mid East needs to have their head examined. The only place worth visiting is Dubai, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to live there.

    How do you know when she started college? She could have started college at 21-22, which is exactly what I did. Anyway, the job market is shit and a marketing degree is useless. So, it's a double whammy.

    I made my last 438 k mortgage payment just now. My bank doesn't seem happy.

    Never pay off a loan early unless the interest rate is ridiculously high.

    Online MBA programs

    Does Duke's distance MBA still require a residency? If not, it's a waste of money. The real value in an MBA program is in the networking opportunities. The degree itself is quite useless, especially if you already have an undergrad business degree from an AACSB accredited school. I'd pursue a...

    the sociopathic Ayn Rand revealed

    Ayn Rand's philosophy sounded appealing when I first read 'Atlas Shrugged' as an adolescent. I eventually grew out of it. Unfortunately, there seems to be a resurgence in her work, especially among mouth-breathing rednecks. Perhaps it's because her books are written at the 9th grade level...

    Well, if they can see through a wall in your home, they can certainly deduce that you live there. As for your other comments, the vast majority of wealthy individuals are extremely concerned with privacy. It may not seem that way because they stay out of the lime light. As an accountant, I...
