My college boyfriend was from North Dakota. He and his family were pissed when this movie came out, “We don’t sound like that!” They sounded exactly like that.

NEWS FLASH: For most of the people paying through the nose for college, you’re probably not going to get the high paying job because those are going to the sons and daughters of legacy alumni.

“It doesn’t matter what degree you take!” They told me in 2005. “Actually a humanity degree is better in a lot of ways because you can work in so many different fields!” “Degree holders make on average 40% more over their working career!” They said.

I am an attorney with over 2 years of work experience, and I make less than $50,000/year.

Accurate. I made more working in retail than I did as a preschool teacher.

I really feel for Amy Adam. As someone that is sensitive it can be so hard to work with someone that yells or uses insults. Some people yell back or find it motivating, but I just shut down and cry. I can’t even deal with tough coaching or personal training. I do not find that type of “leadership “ motivating and…

The freakishly aesthetically blessed quite often seem to have oh so many advantages in this culture. It kinda sucks that so many make *boatloads* of money mainly from flaunting, showing off and boasting - while so many struggle.

I think she seems perfectly nice. But (expletive) her for bragging about selling books when she’s already rich enough to have endless time to write them and then easily get them published.

Agreed. Don’t forget those draconian laws, absurd income tax and overpriced goods on top of that?

I will never, ever understand the appeal of New York as anything other than a place to (maybe) visit. What is the upside of the outrageous cost? Culture? Nightlife? World-class dining? Guess what: You can’t afford to take advantage of it. Are you happy just knowing it’s there and that maybe, someday you’ll get a piece…

the cost of living has risen since then, and it’s safe to conclude that salaries have risen along with it.

LEXAPRO IS NOT A MOOD STABILIZER. It’s an anti-depressant. It isn’t usually used for bipolar because it doesn’t treat mania. Sigh. I guess you just have to be crazy like me to know this.

If you are in grad school doing a PhD in the humanities then leave now—the job market is awful. I saw this as someone who came off the conveyer built last May from an Ivy and didn’t a job last year and will not get in a job in North America this year. Srsly consider leaving and moving into industry. Staying in grad…

I went to the Gilmore Girls reunion in Austin this past June and I found it really strange that no one brought up Melissa or Sookie the entire time. Even when the actor who played her husband was asked about the future of his character he said, “I think Jackson would have a lot of kids.” - not Jackson and Sookie. They…

You need more meds.

Why didn’t you get a Concept? I always thought those were the industry standard

Is blatant nepotism in hollywood/celebrity becoming more and more common or am I just becoming aware of it now.

Only the beautiful people.

I once got hired at this store that was supposed to be like "high-end" home improvement. We had shit like $1500 bathroom faucets. And all the salesgirls in there were at least 5'8" and not one of them more than 125 pounds. I was just going to turn around and walk back out when I showed up for my interview as I was 240…
