Do you feel loved because you have a college degree?

[Magrittes Pipe]

I sure do.

[In_The_Wind]

1. It helps!

:thumbsup:

[billyskank]

2. No

Can't say it helps in that regard.

[Left Is Write]

3. No.

This is largely because I do not have a college degree.

[eyesroll]

4. I derive my entire self-worth from it.

:loveya:

Just imagine how loved I'll be with my JD...because, as we all know, lawyers are cuddly!

[philosophie_en_rose]

9. We should start a group for future lawyers.

Future Ambulance-chasing-corporate-bashing-leftie-liberals of America. :)


I wonder if there are any lawyers on DU who would like to point out good opportunities for summer associates.

[khashka]

10. I thought...

the first thing we'll do is kill all the lawyers....

Khash. :)

[philosophie_en_rose]

5. Yes.

The graduation presents were hefty and highly appreciated. :P

Actually, no. I feel depressed because I have a few college degrees and yet, here I am, back in school.

Apparently there aren't any big philosophy companies in the city. Who knew? :shrug: :)

[Deja Q]

6. Nope. All the jobs it's good for are going overseas or simply going.

So why should I waste ore money in education?

(my sig line also has a damning article on education. From Techrepublic's website, the article is called "The Education Scam" and should be a must-read by EVERY American. I am always for education, of course, but the article is an eye-opener nonetheless.)

[bridgit]

7. i feel employed because i have one...

[khashka]

8. I have several

not a single one of 'em has gotten me laid, hugged, cuddled, kissed, etc.

So I guess the answer is no.

Khash.

[supernova]

11. No I don't

Ask me if somebody's ever loved me for my mind.
















The answer is "No." :cry:

[tjdee]

12. No, because my degree isn't in math, science, or nursing.

Have you seen some of those sign on bonuses for nurses?

NUTS!

[SarahB]

23. I've seen the bonuses.

Most of the places that offer bonuses have suckier work conditions though. Not always, but frequently. Still though, I'm quite looking forward to my salary doubling in a little over a year and a half. :D

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Without my degree I would have nothing with which to value myself

I would be nothing but a degree-less disgrace. My entire self-definition hinges on that college degree.

[skooooo]

28. me too..

Luckily it pays the bills as well.

[sundog]

14. well, it helps me get laid

[khashka]

26. If you are depending on that

you are seriously messed up. I'd sleep with you even if you flunked out of high school! (Just sayin', doesn't really mean anything.)

Khash, running and hiding.

[kwassa]

15. I wear my diploma on my chest and women throw themselves at me

It's just amazing how it works.

[GOPisEvil]

16. I only have a liberal arts (poli sci) degree.

No one loves a liberal arts major. :cry:

[skooooo]

27. not true!

You can think and write! That's a rare commodity. You just have to know how to market yourself or pick a career that will emphasise those talents.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Nah, not here on DU.......

People here love me, God knows why.......:shrug:


But my college degree didn't hurt when my husband was taking me out with an eye to marriage....he was getting his Ph.D at the time......


I think that for me, the college degree helps me feel respected...

And respect is the basis for true love, IMHO......

This is an interesting thread, BTW...thanks for posting it.....




:kick:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. no

[Metta]

19. Love, no. Some significant uplift and edification, yes.

It has been a big help in my career, for sure.

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. Yes, because I am not lovable in any other way....

j/k

Wait...is this a serious question?

[Fox Mulder]

21. I'll let you know in 7 (or 19) months.

:)

[RetroLounge]

22. I have two diplomas

Do I need two women to love me?

:evilgrin:

RL

[ghostsofgiants]

24. I don't have one yet...

But the fact that I'm working on one makes me feel like part of the wonderful intellectual liberal elite hellbent on co-ruling the world with Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. Quite loved indeed.

[ucmike]

25. the student loan company is fond of me.

[hfojvt]

29. apparently, my alma mater loves me

they keep writing me. I send them 100% of my annual income that is above the US median income. Maybe I should up that to 200%.

[Rhiannon12866]

30. Nope. Nor does it particularly qualify me to do anything.

But I'm still glad I have one...:shrug:

[SOteric]

31. I feel loved because I'm loved.

Is this somesort of copycat, or have you been taking a course in lame-ass philosophy and you wanted to quiz the lame-ass philosophy masters of DU?

[tigereye]

32. no

I feel loved despite my degrees! ;)

[Neil Lisst]

33. Yes. Mine is rubbing my shoulders right now.

And then we'll spoon.

[trackfan]

34. absolutely not

[Beware the Beast Man]

35. Yes. I keep getting love notes from that wench Sallie Mae.
