Never said I didn't want to make money. Starving sucks.

But fulfillment is more than cash.

You seem to see it as necessary to abstract ALL the details away, leaving yourself with a meaningless model.

I say you are pretty ******* clueless about models. All economics models( or everything else) abstract away certain details. The average higher grad earns less than a college grad. What is "average"?

I'm glad you decided to restart this thread, although I doubt jespah and Cyclo are so thrilled about it. I expect they're getting pretty bored by now.

First,

What is the red part of your answer now in red supposed to mean? Do you mean that the average "Arts" grad earns less than the average college grad? Or are you criticising me for throwing around the term "average" in in this discussion?

Second,

Here, specifically, is what I don't like about your model:

(1) Financial models are useful only insofar as they allow us to make sound financial decisions. Your model does not appear to be very useful to anyone. The only people who might conceivably find it useful are college freshmen, deciding on a major, who want to maximise their future earnings. But the idea that the average Arts degree is worth less economically than the average science degree isn't going to help an individual make any sound decisions, because the value of the Arts or Science degree that that individual takes will depend on his/her other skills as well as on the exclusivity and reputation of the graduating institution. Averages mean absolutely nothing to the individual student.

(2) You have, all this time, been treating Arts and Science degrees like commodities, each determined by supply and demand in a single market. The commodity markets for "Arts degrees" and "Science degrees" you're talking about don't exist.

(3) You have never, so far as I've seen, shown us any statistics proving Arts degrees were worth less than Science degrees, or given any explanation of how those statistics were come by. For example, I'm not even sure whether this "value" you're talking about is supposed to be a stock or a flow. I've just assumed you were talking about income generated. Until you make a precise argument, you haven't really made any.

Show us your brilliant evidence for why why you're right. You brag about being so brilliant in Math; prove it!

....The difference between you, and the beggar on the streets is that you have money. This is why money is important for a sense of security.

Frankly, I wouldn't care about your qualifications. What you have demonstrated here is that you're holding yourself in high esteem, you're not a team player and you think you're better than anyone else. That's the worst employee for any company. I certainly would never hire you, you're useless for any corporation. I am on the hiring end and I've seen your kind many many times - actual productivity is mostly zero.

True, but I need not be a millionaire, and I don't even need to be the highest earner on my street or even in my house. What matters is not to starve, to have a roof up, the necessities. I won't deny that I enjoy luxuries, just like the next person.

But I refuse to go into something else, or back to a job I hated in order to have better vacations to get away from a job that I hate.

This shows how little you know about people.

Would you look at your behavior in this thread, and describe yourself as someone who 'builds others up?' You started off by demeaning a large group of people and switched to personal insults soon after. Apply some of your vaunted analysis to the situation.

I've read quite a few statement of yours here on a2k, especially the "loser" thread is very revealing. You resort to profanities when logic is confronting
you, simply because you can't come up with an answer.

You're very young and face obstacles that you have not anticipated. This makes you angry, after all you deserve better. Then again, life is not fair,
and sometimes - like in your case - it's awfully nice to see that it's not fair.

Haha, I had to laugh about "submissive"...I don't avoid "your kind" I just don't have use for people like you. Life is too short to bother with your kind, I am sorry to say. Your kind doesn't go far either, despite your academic achievements (that's why you're so pissed).
