Reply #125: Real critical thinking has taught me that money doesn't mean shit.

Who fucking cares what an education costs? I'll be damned if I judge it's worth based on fiat currency compared to other fiat currency acquired in the future. I'm in my 30's and I'm poor, and that's fine with me. I'm also seriously in debt from my master's degree. I just don't care. Without that master's degree I wouldn't have been able to get the three year contract I was on towards earning my PhD. I wasn't getting paid a lot, but I was getting paid to do exactly what I wanted to do and loved doing. I will likely die a very poor man. Any wealth or debts I have when I die will be meaningless, but I can never lose the experiences I've had and what I've learned through education, and the world will never lose the contributions I've made to our culture. I don't think a price can or should be put on that.
