..or maybe students shouldnt choose a major that has no hope of giving them a well-paying job. Ive seen far too many people getting masters in worthless degrees.

Funny. If you are loved on hn, you can treat other people like shit (and berate them). Pg is not a god and it makes the community look hypocritical and stupid.

You will then have the problem of everyone arriving late. It doesnt change anything. It just shifts the time.

Its funny how no method seems acceptable here on hn. Maybe its better to do nothing and wait to be attacked?

Accept your fate from the hn authority...just like at your job
