My girlfriend cheated on me, so I broke up with her. She wasn't worth it I guess.

Wow, that sucks. I'm sorry... :-(

How'd you find out?

She told me. I tried to make it work, I really did.

I made some friends from her, the only good part of being with her. Also, I'm going to stay friends so I can tell any guy that gets near her that she's a cheater and that you can't trust her.

Haha, that is a lesson I just learned myself. Was dating a 23 year old. Way too young for me.

Yeah, she tried to kill herself. I guess me saying things must have got to her.

I'm having a hard time reading this with your current avatar. I hear Pinkie Pie saying these things, & its a weird feeling.

I changed my avatar, because I think it reminds me too much of her.

Earthbound, the most overpriced game on the SNES. Back to the dating sites!

 

Otherwise this song is awesome.

How young is too young? Is there a graph that plots your age and the minimum required age of the girlfriend? If so, I could use that.

Just use common sense.

There was actually only a four year age difference between me and this girl, that isn't much really. But that still puts us in very different stages in life when you consider how long ago I graduated college and have been in the real world, and how long ago she graduated from college and has been in the real world. I folded up my useless diploma and stuffed it in a file box years ago, this girl just barely got around to framing her useless diploma and proudly displaying it a few weeks ago.

@ Frink: I was sort of joking about the graph...shoulda guessed that humanity made it happen.

I guess this makes Han Solo a bigger rule breaker than I thought...

@CP3S: If the degree doesn't suggest the making of something, it's probably not worth pursuing.

History degrees don't make history

Political Science degrees don't make politics, or science for that matter

Liberal Arts degrees don't make liberal arts, whatever that is.

Nonsense!

By that logic all we should be pumping out of our universities would be engineers and computer science majors, and other boring drones.

Biologists don't make biology, but we need them. Maybe history teachers don't make history, but we need them, psychology majors don't make psychology, but we need them, and so on. English majors don't make English, but where would we be without editors and journalists? Political Sciences can be of great importance too. I shudder at the thought of a future where business, engineering, and medicine are deemed the only degrees and careers worth pursuing.

I generally consider all undergraduate degrees useless. They are easy to obtain and the market is over saturated with them. Undergraduate education is the new high school diploma, and who hangs their high school diploma on the wall?

I know it's only anecdotal, but I make a six-figure salary + benefits with my useless CS undergraduate degree and I'm only 2.5 years out of university. This is not uncommon amongst computer programmers, IIRC.

Undergraduate degrees are only useless if you choose the wrong major*. I don't think everyone should choose to pursue a STEM degree, of course, but we should be preparing prospective undergrads for the reality of the job market that they'll encounter after graduation rather than filling their heads with the standard "follow your dreams" nonsense.

* None of this applies if one plans to pursue higher degree(s) and/or plans to go into academia.

Two of my friends just graduated from a four year university, one got a political science degree and another majored in history. The political science major is in graduate school now for a degree in analytics, and the history major is working at Food Lion.

Questions:

    1  What did your History-major-friend plan to do upon graduation?

    2  What did he think he'd be able to do with his History degree?

I'm interested to know if he had failed plans or just failed to think ahead.

Was he flying blind?

So, I'm back in the dating game, I guess. I'm not looking for a relationship, just someone to go out with, I need to take some time to heal.

Probably flying blind. People just assume that everything will work out if they work hard and follow their passions, but we all know that this is BS.
