I mean, I know there are some out there, I just haven't met any. All I'm saying is that I've always wanted a guy who I can build a future with, someone I can depend on. It's just that I can't see how a guy working a fast food job can give me that sense of security. That's all I'm saying.

I thought that you might find this little tidbit from my school's Philosophy Department's interesting...

The fact is that in the modern economy, virtually no one can hack it just by holding a four year degree. This applies doubly so to those who hold degrees in the liberal arts. However, if you possess the traits that typically come with the attainment of a degree like that -- the abilities to quickly synthesize, interpret, communicate, and critically think -- then you're almost destined to make money anywhere.
