The trouble is, it's very obvious with concrete things (say my "friend" went to automotive technical school and learned how to repair cars, only to graduate with a degree and realize he can't get a job as an auto mechanic because he can't actually fix the cars) whereas with intellectual things like economics, there always seems to be room for debateTaylor Conanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270678440957992085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-68864950255114438702010-07-19T23:13:16.693-04:002010-07-19T23:13:16.693-04:00Taylor, hilarious story, although sad from your co...Taylor, hilarious story, although sad from your co-worker's POV, as all that money spent on his degree was not only a waste of incredible resources, but he actually became dumber due to the fact that the information he thinks he knows is in reality completely false. He would have been better off never getting an econ degree at that school because then he at least wouldn't know anything Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-35044644812902427502010-07-19T16:10:58.071-04:002010-07-19T16:10:58.071-04:00Robert,

He found out I was big into econ and told me he was an econ major himself and his favorite class was "Marxist economics." I rolled my eyes and asked what the hell that even meant, contradiction in terms.
