The "in your chosen field" part was new to me. If your chosen field is buggy whip manufacturing, well...you're going to have to work hard at something else.

- bequanna 12y agoExactly. She was in print media and television, two industries that are quite obviously dying. Yet, she shows little interest in adapting or retraining, she simply externalizes blame and resists change. Not really a recipe for success.
- Aloha 12y agoTelevision isnt exactly dying, but a writer in that industry has always been a pretty volatile proposition.
- briandear 12y agoExactly. It's actually hilarious to me how Harvard grads with Sociology or Women's Studies degrees wonder why they're unemployed and in debt. It's not my fault you majored in Medieval Poetry. Why should I subsidize someone's ill conceived choices? Regarding poetry, it's interesting how the world's greatest poets did not get an expensive MFA in poetry. Hemingway didn't even go to college. Studying liberal arts is important, but getting $100k student loans to major in something like Sociology? Really? Some folks are just plain old stupid. In what universe do the numbers work for a decision like that? If I was a VC and someone came to me to fund their schooling with that sort of 'plan,' I'd laugh them out of my office.
