He doubled down on stupid by following a philosophy degree up with a master’s in creative writing.

Excuse me, comparative literature.

[genghis]

How can anyone think gov paying for deadbeats to go to college is a good idea? ( no I mean someone besides obama)

[BlackAdderess]

No, he went back for comparative literature not creative writing. You can make good money with creative writing because you have to be able to write, which is a skill.

[FreedomPoster]

That really jumped out at me.

I’ll take the average Indian emigre over this moron. We come out on the better end of the deal.

[Clay Moore]

I have to disagree with you there. Hillary! paid good money for the Steele dossier. Creative writing pays!

following a philosophy degree

Guess they skip right on over ethics in that philosophy department.

The philosophy major concedes that his student loan balance of around $20,000 isn't as large as the burden shouldered by many other borrowers, but he said his difficultly finding a college-level job in the U.S. has made that debt oppressive nonetheless. "If you're not making a living wage," Haag said, "$20,000 in debt is devastating."

As a philosophy major he should be seeking the truth. And the truth is that a philosophy degree will generally get you a job that does not pay very well.

He struggled to come up with the $300 a month he owed. The first work he found after he graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in 2011 — when the recession's effects were still palpable — was on-again, off-again hours at a factory, unloading trucks and constructing toy rockets on an assembly line.

The truth should now have been obvious to him.

He then went back to school to pursue a master's degree in comparative literature at the University of Colorado Boulder.

But as you succinctly put it, he doubled down on stupid by following a philosophy degree up with a master’s in creative writing.

And he has still not found the truth.
