I’m quite surprised that with all that talk about Kcals and CvF none of you twigged to the fact that she’s using the adult male percentage of water in a human body. Jason’s only 10 and clearly has no muscle mass - his percentage of body water should be closer to 62%. Maybe 63%. And Amend IS American. Not all Americans shun the metric system.
I’m a college grad, working on an MA, but I’m not going for a Ph.D. People with MAs make more than people with BAs, but people with PhDs often don’t make anything at all. One of my friends has a Ph.D. and he made about $35,000 a year. Not much. I made more as a secretary without a BA.
One of my roommates dropped out of high school and started making $85k a year working for the gov’t in computers. However, most people don’t manage to make it that well. For all the people I know who got a good job without a BA, I know 3 who work in the service industry for awful wages. So college is still a good deal.
Almost no one at 50 is still doing what they did at 25, especially today when all the factories are closing. Having a degree (or not) has nothing to do with that. It’s not a question of the worth of the degree so much as it is a statement about our society and its economics.
