Well, my focus was on majors that, imo, had a less-than-average market wage. Lawyers? Seriously? Unless you're going to a top, top tier school it's not worth it if you have to take out loans. Probably not worth it even if you don't have to take out loans. Social worker? Really? I think my point stands. Don't go into $100k debt to be a social worker. Accountant? The pay for accountants is better than average, so....

Right, and absolutely none of that requires a theater major to go into massive debt.

May be better placed in Daily Texan, but there are some political aspects to the student loan "debacle". It's a problem, to be sure, but, and this chaps my hide a bit, the story on NPR (so far) has not said anything about whether the choice of taking out these loans was a wise one, or even a good one. Owing $100k when you're a theater/radiotvfilm/undergrad psych major is stupid. The student may not be stupid, but they have made a stupid decision. (if you want to argue that people who make stupid decisions are stupid you won't get much argument from me). They said that students don't know the difference b/t taking out a $3,000/yr loan vs a $30,000/year loan. It's all just a number and you sign your name. Give me a fucking break. If there's anything we should have learned by now, it's that you can't prevent stupid people from being stupid. I would like to see the data on some of these loans: amount, major, school, did they graduate, etc. Again, if you took out $100k in loans and you're a theater major then you get no sympathy from me. Sorry.

While I agree with the tenor and tone of the question, this is ultimately just whiny shit. When were you born? 1890? 1925? 1955? 1960? 1990? Austin, old or otherwise, has never died. Never. Fucking. Died. Life is all about change. It's you who died.

Do you even think before you type your shit? Jesus, anybody who can write what you just did is seriously out to fucked-up lunch.

No, it doesn't.

I think the real question is whether his supporters would let him get away with it. I think they would.

Lol. Careful there, someone just might invent gin.

Very true. You like what you like. I found this, which may or may not apply here. Another taste test conducted by the New York Times suggests the same thing: As a counterpoint, here's another report suggesting most people can not tell the difference:

Vodka, by definition (and "law) is a neutral grain spirit, right? Neutral? https://www.npr.org/2018/03/01/590022606/is-there-really-a-difference-between-expensive-vodka-and-cheap-vodka I still can't believe that people insist that stuff like Grey Goose is so better than other stuff. I'm not saying buy the absolute cheapest stuff, but if you're buying "premium" vodka you're doing it wrong, especially if you're mixing it.

Unless it's Smirnoff. Or any other non-shitty vodka with non-shitty ice cubes.

I'll be surprised if this winds up killing more people than the "normal" flu. Could be wrong, though.

Those are some nice shrubs/plants. Shame if someone sprayed Round Up on them. Same with the yard. Just a shame.

Vote him out. Vote. Vote. Vote him out.

Been awhile since I've been to Big Bend, but what do you mean by an "open spot" for Lost Mines? Is there a reservation/queue system now?

Better player b/c he was a roided out douchebag cheater?

Food wise? You're not missing anything? Texans blind, slavish devotion to something they think embodies Texas? Maybe WAB was worth it before. It's not now.

What a buffoon. Guess it doesn't matter if those cases are tossed b/c of insufficient proof that it's pot instead of hemp? Make those arrests. Make your quota.

Carpetbaggers? Like Texas was part of the deep south like those abominations Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia? Let's not suck on the confederacy cock too much, boys.

I don't know the good, raw data, but I'd be very surprised if UT's undergard admissions to med school was a lot higher than Trinity's. Slightly higher? Maybe. A lot higher? I think the smaller, quality schools have an edge in stuff like this.

Don't overlook Nursing. It's a damn good profession, and the CRNA gig isn't too bad.

Cool. Link, please.

Meaning what, that Trinity's % is a lot higher than UT's (given the size of the student body)?

Don't sweat it too much, imo. Yeah, go to a good school. But more importantly, do well at that school. Whether it be the lesser ones like UH or aggy, just do the best you can at the undergrad level. There may be fewer temptations at Trinity than UT, which would presumably help the academic factor, but hey, support him the best you can and wish him luck. It's his life. But you just cannot go wrong with either UT or Trinity, imo.

Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah. Let's get to what's really important. I have a son (UT grad) and your daughter sounds like quite a catch. What say we have them make some sort of connection? Just kidding. But your daughter sure sounds like a winner, suckitkevin. Grats to you. Trinity? That's impressive. As far as going to med school, Trinity might be a better option. Those smaller schools (good schools, and great schools like Trinity) have more personalized instruction and you can probably get closer to faculty for good recs.
