The One Degree Implies the Career, Usually
As the eminent Slovenic philosopher Slavoj Žižek once said, "We must find an aesthetic of trash." And you know, I have a feeling this guy getting his hands dirty is doing a better job at philosophizing than half of those pretentious peers of mine in the local college philosophy program. Those pretentious peers that are working on their master's and Ph.D's. And getting full rides to prestigious universities.
Not that I'm bitter or anything.
