Tuition should have some correlation with the amount of money someone can expect to make with that particular degree. A music major shouldn't be paying the same $ per credit that an engineering major pays.

We'll only get nuked by terrorists if the powers that be want it to happen.

They're making a sequel to Wall Street. It's going to be called "Money Never Sleeps". Michael Douglas is supposed to be in it again. What's Ivan Boesky up to these days anyway?

That's funny. I know quite a few people who received scholarships/grants and did very well academically. Most of them don't have two dimes to rub together. There are plenty of skilled tradesmen who became contractors and are now fairly wealthy. There are also plenty of wealthy floor...

A defense contractor owns Diebold. WTF do you expect? Your vote doesn't matter anyway.

Probably because the jobs don't pay sh*t. Unless you're in the oil business.

I remember reading a book a while ago that told the true story of a former NYSE janitor who became wealthy buying breakouts of the 52 week high. Forgot his name. The system in your post seems too complicated for my simple mind. I like simple things.

Oh goody. I'm definitely going to vote for Obama now. Because Colin Powell said so. Give me a break.

Federal income tax goes to pay the interest on the money that the government borrows from the Fed. This is why taxes can only increase over time as long as the Fed exists. I can't wait to see the day when the average American is paying 75% of their income in taxes. Hopefully, I'll be out of...

Awesome. My credit score is 750 and I'm only 23. Does this mean I can buy anything I want?

Paying taxes.

30-50% down is a little extreme. There are plenty of people who put 3% down and pay PITI who could easily afford their mortgage. Without the idiotic spending at ripoff restaurants, $100 jeans and sneakers, our economy would turn into Japan's. The markets would become much less volatile, and...

Technically still true assuming you don't overpay or even if you slightly overpay. Bottom line is, if you can't afford to make the payments with at least 10% down and a traditional mortgage, you shouldn't have bought it in the first place.

Umm, 8% of $5 mil is $400k, not $40k. So you would only need a return of .8% to make $40k. You could easily beat that return by putting the money into a CD.

Actually, you don't. Reread my most. In Ohio, you need 5 years AS A JORUNEYMAN before you are even able to take the test. Plumbers don't automatically start out working as journeyman. They start out as helpers or apprentices. An apprenticeship is typically 5 years. So, how do you know that...

It has already been mentioned, but you don't need a plumbers license to work as a plumber. The contractor you're working for simply needs the license. In many states, you need to work 4-5 years as a journeyman plumber before you are even able to take the test to get your license. None of us...

I don't understand. Why kill yourself? At least rob a bank first and try to get back into the game. If it doesn't work out, you can always smuggle heroin. Go out with a bang.

Some union plumbers make twice that much.

I'm pretty sure you need a HS diploma and some college credits to become an apprentice these days. Unless, you "know" someone.
