I hope this means we WILL have a game session Sunday.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

?Yeah, I saw your post in the on line forum after this thread. Now I just hope everyone else makes it as well. I know Growler can't make it because of a last minute practice for their Sunday night musical.

So hopefully "Mad Dog" can make it so there will be 3 of us.

*smiles* I thought of doing another in English Lit or something similar. Reading my way through a degree appeals to me.

While we're on the topic of academic chest pounding. You don't want to know how many years I wasted in undergrad University and Graduate School. :p

The problem these days, undergrad degrees no matter how many you have gets you nowhere.

True, and retarded, too. At least, in the US, where the percentage of population with "degrees" is so slim. Something like 40% with AS (or AA), 20% with BS (or BA), 10% with Masters, and like 1% with PhD. One would think having any of those would be a significant advantage over the majority who do not... but the reverse is true.

Welcome back, CK, from the Ghul. Shoot me a message when you have the time. Something I'd like to discuss regarding the playtesting of those rules I gave you at LGGC.

From what I can tell, at least here in Canada, to get some of the better jobs in the financial world you need to get at least 2 Masters.

My degrees didn't get me anywhere either. They just allowed me to open doors so I could get where I wanted to go.

That being said I was one of the fortunate ones with a graduate degree in physics and a MBA. So it worked out well for me.

Of course I'm in debt up to my nose tho.
