Unfortunately the people most likely to take one of those majors are the least likely to read bspcn.com.


How to get rich

I, a stranger on the internet, am going to tell you a proven method for getting rich, and you can have this information free for nothing. I'm pretty sure you can't do it. Your youth will stop you. I'll explain that at the end of my essay.

First you need a job, but not just any job. It has to be in a field that has been stable for a very long time, such as gardening, janitor, laundry, like that. Something basic. If you want to start your own business, that's ok. You really want a job that you can walk to, or your customers come to you, so that cuts out most of the construction jobs and big company stuff. That way you don't have to spend a lot of money keeping your wheels running, because you don't need to own wheels. You rent a cheap pad or stay in your mother's basement or something. Since you live so cheaply, you are able to save most of your income. You spend your evenings at the local library studying economics and investments. As you learn more from your studies you can make some investments, always choosing the highest quality and safest offerings.

That's it. That is the entire method. Does it work? Assume you are making $10 an hour, $20,000 a year. If you save half your income for fifty years, you will have half a million dollars in savings, not counting interest, dividends, or paper profits. A half million bux of principle. That sounds close enough to being rich for me. Other people have done it, but it's so unusual that they get their names in the news when they retire. There was a story in 2001 about a lady in Alabama who retired, gave $160,000 to a college for a scholarship fund, bought a house, and settled down to enjoy her remaining days in comfort. She started at age 15, washing and ironing sheets by hand. That's all she did for fifty years. I heard of a fellow who immigrated to the USA in the late twenties. He never held any job other than soda jerk in a drug store. (A soda jerk made milk shakes and ice cream treats.) He never owned a car, never married, and he lived the whole time in a flat above the drug store where he worked. He spent most of his off time at the library and only bought the highest quality stocks, one share at a time at the start. When he died in the fifties he left an estate valued at $200,000 which would be about four million in today's dollars. One of the better known examples was a fellow named Andrew Carnegie. He worked five years, saving his wages for an investment. Then he put it all into a steel business. Maybe you've heard the name.

You might be starting to understand why I said you probably can't do this. The loudest message a young person gets from this is, "NO FUN!" A young person wants to boogie, and that's expensive. That is the biggest reason so few people ever get rich by their own efforts.

It's your decision. Good luck.

Saul, if I save, I won't be able to get the latest Ipod. The economy, needs us to spend to prosperity. It's my duty, to consume...not save. Besides, the gov will be there to take care of me in my later years.. ;D

Just for fun I skimmed through that PDF... that's good stuff!

A minimum of two (2) elective courses must focus mainly on the Holocaust
• A minimum of two (2) elective courses must focus mainly on “other genocides”

"OTHER GENOCIDES" ::)

speaking of genocides - i always wondered if one of the purposes of the Vietnam War was to occupy the US, in the aftermath of the JFK assassination, so that Israel would be free to obtain nukes.

4.5 million Southeast Asian civilians were killed by the US in the Vietnam war.

i get the impression that, for some reason, Israel wanted the US to be at war during the '60's.

it certainly created a nice cover for them to wreak their own havoc, while the world's attention was focussed on the larger genocide.

Hmmmmm,

Page 6, FAQ's. They seem to be missing one question that I would like to see.

Is there going to be an honest, open discussion about the Holocaust; or will it be a one sided indoctrination?

No need to answer the question.

actually, i don't know if that Holo-hoax degree is useless in getting a job.

it pays to be able to sound learned when presenting the official version of the "Holocaust". there are people who are willing to pay for that kind of "PR" work.

also, it can impress Jews, who are at the same time, hiring managers (they decide who gets the jobs in their department or company.)

so that degree may be worthless morally or in terms of learning factual history, but it probably helps people get jobs.

English majors are conspicuously absent from this list. ;D

(I am in EE, so I will be able to hire these people to be human chess pieces in the backyard...)
