What really annoys me is this, this mainstream thinking that having a degree equals success and large incomes. Ridiculous!

Anyway i digress, but I will mention this – I have dated some of these women and I can confirm first hand that they are some of THE most demanding, gold digging and scheming women you will ever meet.

http://www.encouragementfromastranger.com/2010/proof-that-you-dont-need-a-university-degree/

Once upon a time there was this geek, on his way to getting a masters in a field that pays quite well…

While this geek was pursuing said degree, he met a small woman with giant breasts who was married.

Married woman was not with her husband at the moment as her husband was working…

This woman proceeded to introductions and then into interrogation about similarities between our degrees and thirst for knowledge. (She was thirsty alright).

Flash forward a few weeks, her husband shows up to the shop where we met (just a nerd hobby shop, she is apparently stalking future prey). The plain is made plain, her husband is the manager at a dominos…. she is working on her PhD. Well, love and the bond of matrimony will keep them together right? Because feminism.

Wrong, she continues to ask me, “are you accepted to the master’s program yet?” — “are you in the masters program?” — “How long until you apply for masters?”  Not in front of her husband mind you, but it became obvious to myself and my buddies that this bitch was quite ready to dump her husband for a man that makes similar pay to her. Her husbands crime? Being content with his job and place in life while she pursues school and incurs debt.

This trick is so obviously looking to upgrade its a bit disgusting (although dem titties). She doesn’t ask me about my hobbies, likes, dislikes, ideas of life, nope… just hows school going? how much longer? etc. I even gave her husband a nice item from the hobby shop before I met the dude because I already felt sorry for him.

Point is, just because a high income earning wife can support the family doesn’t mean she will, she will continue to pursue her equal or greater until she is satisfied she can build the biggest f~~~ing nest of comfort and financial security.  Love? yes I’m sure she loves him, she’d love to let him go, marriage doesn’t mean too much to this broad.

Anyway, that’s all. The story continues later I’m sure.

Ha Ha HA HA, what a crock of s~~~! I love being alone, wouldn’t have it any other way! It’s just more feminist propaganda to help them feel better about their endless loneliness. Men live much fuller lives alone than women.

Point is, Career women don’t like being career women, because it involves hard work.

I never met a happy so called “successful woman.” EVER!

Australia is quite different I guess compared to the USA where say said Domino’s manager here would actually be on $80+K a year and the PhD student lucky to make $60K. I dated a single mum doing a bulls~~~ PhD in Early Childhood, she thought it was equivalent to Medicine and Applied Math, it was a total joke and I use to proof read her work and I don’t even have a degree. I went to University, started Law and Economics, but left around the 4 year mark as all I saw was a $80K university bill, lucky to get a $60K a year job and part of the dreaded rat race.

Tradesmen however here in Australia make a bomb of cash, they quite easily pass $150K a year if they run their own business, $80+K working for someone else, and I know a few who live in multi-million dollar homes and drive Porsches, Maserati’s etc on the weekend. With corporate jobs being replaced with algorithms and technology I still stand firm by my opinion that the trades will always make a killing!

What did I do with myself instead? I took my keen interest in The Markets and Trading and sought mentoring from a guy who is an ex Wall Street banker now hedge fund manager. I actually got on a plane flew across the world, tracked him down and asked him to mentor me, he did! I took what money I had and have successfully traded since January last year. #WINNING

Would I go back to University? Maybe when I am old and keen on reading up on History etc as a hobby but what i have learnt and continue to learn from this guy and his network I could never learn in an economics degree. EVER!

@MG-Tower, you are totally correct. I have a female friend who is similar to these women. SHe is extremely wealthy, successful, 44 y/o and lonely and desperate.

What the world does need in the academic field is more math, science and engineering graduates and less Arts, Literature and Liberal studies. I don’t mean to offend anyone here who has these degrees, but it is fact the world is desperately short of the first 3 mentioned fields.

I don’t know how things are with universities in your respective countries but here it has become a massive business. It’s about bums on seats and the continual upgrade from bachelors to MBA to PhD and it’s sad because these people are so disheartened in the end when they come out and they cannot get work, have a sense of entitlement of $150K a year with zero experience and as BigBoy83 pointed out, yep, the females go looking for a husband with money. Ha and I have seen a few of them marry the tradesman!

I have been to some of these areas of Sydney where these women live, it’s like a litter of kittens that gather in one spot. They are vicious and competitive with one another, I remember being in Roseville, Sydney one night on a date with said women and we walked about 200m down the main street on our way to a small intimate cafe. In that 200m walk this woman got 4 text messages from other women/friends her age asking “Who’s the hot looking guy I just saw you walking with?” Amazing.

Nowadays you are locked out of many positions in Corporate America unless you have degrees and certifications.  Without those ‘keys’, you’re locked out.  Unfortunately, there is no option to ‘test out’ of courses for the most part.  Companies are regimented and hierarchial.  The cover-your-ass mentality reigns, so hiring someone without a degree or certs, is prohibited — and certainly prohibited by HR!  Most universities do not cater to non-traditional students, even State-sponsored ones.  While there is an argument for onsite laboratory courses, the vast majority of courses could be taken at lower cost via distance learning.   I ought to be able to obtain a Professional Engineer certification WITHOUT a 4 year degree.  In fact, in early America, you could pass the bar and practice law WITHOUT a law degree.  This is, of course, no longer allowed, since it would prevent professional schools from lining their pockets.

I am also not particularly impressed by most college graduates.  I’m impressed by intelligent, hard-working co-workers — some with degrees, some not.

College graduates often have little or no experience when they graduate but lots of entitlement.  At the same time, corporate America offers only limited opportunities for promotion to individuals without degrees… No matter how qualified they are…

As for women, some DO prefer to live alone.  I would say too there are many NAWALTS in fields such as physics, mathematics, computer science, and Engineering — though not too many women overall in those fields!  Ditto for welders, mechanics, and construction workers — though there are even fewer women in those occupations — infinitesimal numbers really — I’ve only met a handful in my entire life.  I respected those individualists who did what they had to do to do what they wanted.

As for happiness, http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2006/02/13/are-we-happy-yet/ — statistically, married people are happier, as are religious people and rich people.  At the same time, it seems to me high divorce rates are evidence all is not well in Oz; the happiness statistics seem to contradict high divorce rate observations.  All I can ASSume there is that the unhappy ones get divorced, so what’s left are the happy ones, thereby skewing said statistics, which appear to agree across numerous studies that marriage = happier.  I ASSume in this case, that those who divorced, wish they’d never married.  In other words, if most marriages end in the first 10 years but I survey everyone married with a median marriage duration of, say, 15-20 years, then that may skew my results to marriage = happier IF it survives the test of time…

As for me, I am happier single; I felt with no kids, the wife should hold full time employment, keep the house clean, and contribute and I’ve never bought into most ‘mental illnesses’.  Indeed, I think most people in the ‘helping professions’ ought to have to get a J-O-B (social workers, etc).

As far as women students go, I’m amazed at the number of women in their thirties and forties who are back in school, to get a degree in teaching or nursing or something.  It wouldn’t bother me except that most are on grants or loans they’ll never be able to pay back.  The purpose of financial aid is for society to assist so that theoretically you’ll be giving back to society, but if you’re 37, there isn’t enough time left to give back.  You’re essentially stealing.  You missed your window, go back to your crap job.

I dated someone like that, and it was really pointless to continue much further.  Besides the fact that she was living in a fantasy land, there was no way I was going to take on her useless debt.  And she was planning on getting her masters in education after she finished her bachelors.

All I can ASSume there is that the unhappy ones get divorced, so what’s left are the happy ones, thereby skewing said statistics, which appear to agree across numerous studies that marriage = happier.  I ASSume in this case, that those who divorced, wish they’d never married.  In other words, if most marriages end in the first 10 years but I survey everyone married with a median marriage duration of, say, 15-20 years, then that may skew my results to marriage = happier IF it survives the test of time…

^ so much this…

It reminds me of the government telling me that the unemployment rate had been going down, because jobs had been created. When in reality, the people who had been out of work for so long were not counted in the statistic.

When I took my statistics class from a brilliant woman who has a PhD in statistics, she pointed out several important things, how were these figures gathered, how were they analyzed, who gains the most from this publishing and where does the money end up flowing because of it.

If the goal is to keep men on the blue pill, then showing that marriage will make you happier is a great way to go about it, even though the divorce rates outright prove it a lie. Since roughly 60% of all marriages end in divorce, it merits to say that marriage does NOT in fact result in happiness. The hilarious truth is something so cliche that everyone’s heard it before but usually never develop it because “rat race” — true happiness is only cultivated from within.
