But that would be too "obvious" so you go the more obscure unnecessary/expensive route because you want to be "different". Then you complain when you are still living with mom at 26 and blame it on participation trophies or whatever because it is never your fault. You'll get over the grammar, it is an internet message board dude chill out. Plus when somebody brings it up it is the first sign they know they lost an argument. :)

holy generalization batman.

the six most common degrees are in business, nursing, psychology, biology, engineering, and education. very few get degrees in basket weaving. in any case, college is far more expensive (even at state schools) than it was for boomers, rent is far more expensive than it was for boomers, home ownership is more expensive than it was for boomers, healthcare is more expensive than it was for boomers, and pay for graduates is lower than it was for boomers. objectively, millennials get paid less for the same work, and have to pay more for a comparable standard of living.

but ya, millennials deserve it cause they are quirky and like things that you don't like

boomers just don't want to admit how much easier they had it

Have you ever looked into how much state schools cost? Most are close to 20k a year when you include living costs

Flying a 170 at 40 is the living in your parents basement at 26 of the airline world.

With the new lost decade coming you are going to learn exactly what it is like.

Already had a full career in the degree I got, son. And I can go back anytime and make 6 figures if I choose. Thanks or your concern though.

Maybe I’ve just been very confused and the 170 now has a side stick, idk. Would explain the landings.

It's more of an issue of people getting useless degrees then anything else.

So what you’re saying is you wasted a bunch of money on a degree you aren’t using?

In October, you’ll be trading in that side stick for the old ram-horns again. I will, too

On the contrary, I am secure for the rest of my life because of it no matter what happens to the airline industry. The investment has paid for itself many times over. That's what happens when one makes smart decisions in life. It gives them the security to pursue their dreams later on if that is the road they want to take.

btw, nobody believes you fly for anything other than a Regional. 2020 ID and you spend 90% of your time on the Regional boards.

My plan b also has a stick, but it’s a bit more basic. It’ll work out in the end

Old habits die hard, I guess.

Seniority is king. I’ve got my degree to fall back on too, but you seem to be arguing against that. I thought it was a good decision, but I don’t know what to believe anymore!
