I was going to be Pam for Halloween this year but I feel like I’m not in fight club shape so i wouldnt have been doing it justice. Anyway, do you have a costume this year, and would Pam have a go to costume?

Thanks for the reply, and yes! Gemini was my dude. I feel like Pam would do extremely well in an actual American Gladiators tournament, maybe a crossover episode?

Your argument about graduate school generally makes sense, but I would argue the following. As an example, in the field of higher education, you generally HAVE to have at least a master’s degree to get a job. Jobs in this field include career advisors/consultants, academic program directors, etc. Despite needing an advanced, usually expensive secondary degree, starting salaries in this field are incredibly low, in the range of something like 35k to 45k if not less, but without the Masters they will not be employed AT ALL in their field.

Now, you make the argument that essentially says “why would you go into a field knowing these facts about projected income”, which is a fair question. But if every single person with who would have picked a major/field of study with low or uncertain salary expectations (higher ed, english majors, art majors, etc.) instead chose to get accounting degrees (which have a clear job associated with the degree and offers better pay), there would likely be too many accountants compared to demand, which could drive salaries down. Same for engineering, or other areas that are more stable when it comes to salary.

Simply put, there may just not be enough financially safe jobs to go around if every single person decided to only go into this field. Trades offer a decent alternative, but not everyone has the aptitude to work in many trades.

Do you predict that there is any type of Biden win which wouldn’t cause people on the right to protest/say the election was rigged?

Perhaps there are better examples then but I would still contend that it’s not as simple as “why don’t people just get a job in a field with a guaranteed higher salary”
