I gotcha, yeah in the early 2000's a buddy heard tech was the way to go. Come graduation 4 years later the market was filled already with people not only with those degrees but experience. Struggled a few years but is doing fine now.

I'm a little jaded by the American collegiate system, since it's easy to get way into debt for a degree that can be meaningless. There needs to be an actively evolving system of what degrees/skills will be needed in the future and what loans will be paid out for.

I think you mean up to. Number one ecology program in the country was $17k only a couple years a ago. Duke biological sciences is much less than $40k , friend just got his PhD there.

It should be $40k a year for the work that grad students do

Did some more research. Rust actually has a page about its influences and what language feature came from those languages. They don't specifically mention C, but I guess in some way most languages that came after C are influenced by it.

See https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/influences.html

For some of us, we were told every step along the way that science funding is cyclical and things will definitely improve, including salaries. Combine those failed predictions with a genuine passion and it's a recipe for regrettable choices. On top of that, there are those very few faculty who manage to bring in millions per year in funding and therefore can command super high salaries ($300k to $500k per year) and most people who have enough drive to earn a PhD in the first place believe they also have the drive to be that outlier earner. It's a bit of a carrot dangled in our faces.

R1 and R2 come from the Carnegie system of university classification. R1 is "doctoral institution with very high research activity," R2 is "doctoral institution with high research activity," D is "doctoral/professional" (lower research activity is implied so these are places that mostly offer undergrad degrees and professional doctorates like PsyD, DPT, and EdD for example), and so on.

No I agree with afterwards, but let’s not whitewash the ottomans horrific colonialism for 500+ years.

His anger is centralized on this thread.

Isn't this the number of homicides reported in California on Christmas Day? How is this an issue with sample size?

I understand some jobs are callings or passions. But you'd think people who are smart enough to get PHDs would do a cost benefit analysis of their education.

Also, I'm not familiar with your R1/R2 terminology.can you explain?

Sooooo wrong. Come to India and I'll show you my state Assam which is more than 50% filled with illegal bangladeshi miyas.

France has been talking about decentralization for decades now and some real efforts have been made to distribute power to the 'regions', but nothing has contributed more progress than COVID and associated remote work.

Found the Frenchman.

>It’s been a shitty day to end a shitty year.

Its been a shitty year. Period. All days included. Maybe I'm being slightly ungrateful but anyways Happy Holidays to you too. Stay safe.

That is a good point for Brazil(my country), the main political place is Brasilia, main economic hub São Paulo and export have several big ports, a big industrial hub in the north (Manaus) and several car manufacturers spread on the south and southwest, there are still some places that has a lot more jobs and education centers, mainly in São Paulo, but other state capitals also have strong education and economic, like Curitiba and Rio.

Bro Christmas homicide also happen in July ?

It’s been a shitty day to end a shitty year. Sorry about the snarkiness. Merry Christmas.

now do external debt of each country compared to total Yugoslavian debt

I thought I was cynical but you're quite the one as well.

The majority of people in India just have babies because they feel like it. People should plan to have a baby, it's a lifelong responsibility.

I don't know where these data came from, but the vast majority of us do not make this kind of money. Most science profs at R1 universities start at sub-100k (and remember that at R1s our real job is research, which pays by far most of our salaries - teaching is an afterthought for which we get little pay and almost no credit when it comes to promotion), and at R2 or lower schools many make sub-75k. With a PhD. In science. Not good. If you start talking about humanities, the salaries can dive into sub-50k territory. Bleak.

You took something that’s uncommon and completely disregarded it.

Maybe you can call it that way. But the Kosovo is not inhabited by Serbs, so as part of Serbia it was a colony of them. That´s why they gained independence.

*Most of the time. You're taking something that's uncommon and highlighting it as if it was common.
