Louder, please!

This makes my heart happy, as bitcoin wasn’t designed to exist trapped within the wrappers of the old system. It was built to set us free from that system.

Awards shows are for ass-milking circle jerkers. "David of the Desert" or @desertdave to us "peons", lives in the clouds. He is super gullible and loves to hear people praise him to help him feel "Real Special".

Indeed! It's plenty of truths, mask under a fun comedy... I'll watch it again! I say what I mean and I mean what I say. Legendary and under-evaluated!

Debating if I should go back to school and finish a bachelors degree.

I could work full time at my 2nd job and receive enough tuition reimbursement for a full ride.

I'd be working two full time jobs and going to school.....but I think i'd be able to handle it. Both jobs are relatively chill and allow me a lot of time typing away on the laptop. I've previously spent the "free time" freelancing learning how to code, creating lo-fi beats and zapping freaks.

The degree might aid me in making more sats into the future, two full time jobs would aid me in making more sats in the present.

Thoughts?

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @Coinsreporter 20h

I think you should drive by intuition of what you want more? If you want to make more Sats, I believe you've got enough knowledge at present. Considering education ≠ Knowledge, you can always gain knowledge even without going for degrees. Because you don't intent to get a job with the help of degrees (which are requisite often), I'd advise you to self-learn or learn by experience without wasting time going to school.

42 sats \ 7 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 20 Dec

Are you sure about that? I think a lot of current education is nothing more than indoctrination hidden under layers of obfuscation. For instance, teaching reading is so f*cked up by colleges of education, you would not even believe it This is why many people cannot read better than 1-3rd grade and are in prison. Here is a good article about reading: #816503 I agree there are only some fields where it is good, though.

20 sats \ 6 replies \ @BlokchainB 20 Dec

Yeah I’m sure. Stuff that matters like being a surgeon or a commercial airline pilot having basic knowledge goes a long way.

As with anything the education system has some worthless degrees but formal instruction is still warranted.

50 sats \ 5 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 19h

Yes, warranted in only some areas, not all. Most of the sh*t in college could be cut right out of the curriculum with no loss. Also, what may be needed is not given.

The administration bloat is a problem in all levels of society. For every k00b you have like 5 or 10 people who are not as nearly skilled as he is but will make 10 times as much as he does just by telling him what to do and making sure he’s a good employee

50 sats \ 3 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 13h

That's what happens when the protection is too heavy. Also, not having merit based promotions hurts. A lot of administrators get promoted beyond their competency level.

72 sats \ 0 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 2h

Also, many companies are loathe to demote to the highest competency job or to do a lateral move to where the person would then again become very competent at his job. Lateral transfers sometimes have a bad odor about them.

Just know that degrees dont mean as much as they did in the past. If you invest this time in to school, will it pay off later? It depends on what degree you will be getting, and how quickly you can complete the coursework.

You can compress it by going year-round and taking a large load at one time.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @TheWildHustle 20 Dec

True, but the tuition reimbursement wont pay for a huge amount of courses in one sitting.

If I compress it, I'd end up paying out of pocket. At that point, i'd rather stack sats.

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 20 Dec

I guess that your way would be better under those conditions. At my school if you took more than 15 credits in a quarter/semester everything after that was a freebie. One semester I took 24 credits in graduate school due to that incentive. It was a full-time bitch to do, though.

532 sats \ 1 reply \ @Imyourfed 20 Dec

I was in a similar grind a full-time gig and a side hustle while chasing my degree. Ended up specializing in cybersecurity and the degree definitely opened doors I hadn’t even considered. My tip structure is key. Treat your study time like a third job, and don’t skimp on self care. You’ve already got that hustle mindset, so you’re halfway there. Go for it, but keep the balance in check!

Good luck!

I did this because my college professors warned me there was a time limit on finishing my degree.

That motivated me to find an accredited Engineering school and finish.

It was a shock to me re-learning Calculus, but it was worthwhile getting that BS degree.

This is how I ended up becoming an economist. I had a couple of jobs, one of which offered tuition benefits, and I took a couple of classes a semester until I finished an econ degree. Then, off to grad school.

I say you should do it, as long as you're confident you can handle the workload.

You mean that estimated rewards is 0 sats for them even though they are on the leaderboard? I don’t think this is necessarily a bug, I think it’s just that they get less than a full satoshi.

But I think we don’t pay out msats do maybe this is indeed a bug because we shouldn’t even show them on the leaderboard then.
