Life's choices​

- If you had to choose between finding the love of your life, and a credit card with unlimited funds ...
- Would you choose Visa, or MasterCard?
Discover has better cash-back deals.
Typical of Joey, He falls for the catch phrases and doesn't consider the whole story - Who care about cash back when the other two cards have unlimited funds?!!!??!!!? Do you expect to make up the difference by spending more?

Well it was mostly our selfishness coupled with competitiveness that got us in this mess. Which is strange because one might think that selfishness would be in favour of sustainability.

Now for something to grin at...

That is a bit dated. Once an economy has less than 5% unemployment, wages can go up in a heartbeat. US will see inflation soon caused by demand for employees that used to work in the minimum wage to $12/hr bracket. We are having trouble finding people under at anything under $18 right now. Another local packaging company was paying $50% above minimum wage as a matter of policy for the past 30 years. In the past few weeks they started losing people like crazy. Times are changing and Trump doesn't get the credit. Economists have long called the 4.5% to 5% range "total employment" and the economy has been marching towards it for the past 6 years.

Yeah, I should have been a wet blanket on your joke. There are still plenty of people graduate with Majors that don't exactly qualify them for a specific job -- French Art History and Comparative literature are some of my favorites. Picking those majors should come with a measurement for a hat size - and some therapy that makes them feel ok about living in their parents basement.

Is there such a thing as a subprime student loan?

Unfortunately not. Engineering majors, even in the 3rd and 4th years where graduation rate is high, they have to pay the same interest rate as French Art History majors.

There is a system that is emerging where investment companies (venture capital organizations), pay tuition and get 20% of the graduate's salary for the next X years according to the established contract.
