I've seen pictures of YARD SARD before but it never fails to make me laugh. I didn't know so many people had made the same mistake, though.

I'm replying to you one last time to tell you that they do have a relation, because wages are what you USE TO PAY TUITION. If tuition goes way up and wages stay low, it's harder to pay them off, fewer poor people can go to university, and people stay in debt for longer. Stop being deliberately obtuse and accept that…

Thank you! I'll check it out for sure.

When The Artist used a piece from the score for Vertigo, Kim Novak took out a full page ad in Variety in protest that said "I would like to report a rape". She went on to say "I feel as if my body — or at least my body of work — has been violated by the movie". Really, Novak? You think that's an appropriate…

Oh, come on. Am I representing all Millennials now? I didn't move the goalposts because I didn't even challenge your ridiculous tuition-gas thing until now, and I think you'll find most of the time people are talking about university tuition compared to wages, because wages are what they're using to pay their tuition.…

Yeah, unless an artist covers a song and claims it's the original I think it's pretty extreme to sue. Especially when it's a song as well known as "Just What I Needed". The Cars aren't in danger of being overshadowed by this song.

I've been listening to "Just What I Needed" on repeat recently - one of those cases where a song you've heard many times before gets put into a new light because it's integrated perfectly into a movie or TV show (in this case, Bob's Burgers, the ending earlier this season where Tina plays spin the bottle).

Weird, I read about another band with almost the exact same story the other day! The Frights:

There was a time (decades ago) when a university degree wasn't the minimum requirement for most entry level jobs is what I mean. I think it's a societal problem when jobs are so difficult to get that someone can go to school for four years and have trouble finding a job because employers are asking for specific…

No, I'm saying a degree in almost anything should be a step up in to a career, even if it's not someone's ideal career, rather than becoming useless because even low-level jobs require very specific degrees. As someone (Orange Whip?) said upthread, a philosophy degree may not get you a job as a philosopher, but it…

It's such a weird myth, one that may have been true 20 or 30 years ago but decidedly isn't now. And almost always trotted out by people who graduated years ago and haven't had to consider getting a minimum wage job in almost as long.

Yeah - the line between a useful degree and a useless degree is pretty arbitrary at this point.

I never said I had concrete solutions we could all act upon. I'm just saying what the end goal should be.

Well, for one, employers should be more open to different degrees that didn't necessarily train someone for the specific job they're hiring for. I shouldn't need a degree in public relations or communications to become a low-paid administrative assistant (not to devalue the work they do!). But Orange Whip is giving…

The idea of 20-something students and grads being lazy or unwilling to work, or too coddled to live with multiple roommates, is so bizarre to me. Every 20-something I know does that, and the ones who live with their parents do so because it's too expensive to live anywhere else, even with roommates.

They should have predicted that!!!!!!!!

Job: LICK THESE ENVELOPES

This is exactly right. I would love to be trained on the job for an interesting and stable career, but the minimum requirements have shifted. Finding a job without a degree in a specific field is tough.

Most 20-somethings are rooming with multiple people and many are doing hard labour (or minimum wage jobs with long hours). What makes you think they're not?

The price of college or university has inflated well out of step with wages, which is a better comparison to make than gas prices.
