[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Uh, I'm on the cusp of getting a bachelor's in philosophy, with my specific interests being philosophy of mind/philosophy of science. If I play my cards right, I may be able to use the degree as a kind of makeshift cup from which to drink from, assuming it is of a firm enough stock. For this honor I have paid many thousands of dollars. But I didn't do it for the money. And I stand by my position that garbage removal is simply more important to people than code. Oh, you might argue that the basic substrate of society is code these days, and I'd probably agree with you. But I doubt most people see it that way, and most people probably shouldn't. A college degree means only that an institution is convinced that you have learned something. Financial value simply doesn't enter into it. If you feel like you got screwed, then I'm deeply sorry. You have as much of a right to a job as anyone else. But wages are determined by the market. Blue collar jobs should pay well because they are unpleasent, unpopular, back-breaking, and without them civilization would fall to pieces. Surely you should know this? I'm sure that Toronto without programmers looks a heck of a lot nicer than <a href="http://cbc.ca/news/interactive/toronto_trash/index.html">Toronto without garbagemen.</a> [/QB][/QUOTE]
