>>Kellum did everything he was supposed to do to get ahead in life. He worked hard as a high schooler, got into the University of Virginia and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history.

A History degree? Perhaps, if he had studied something useful...

Is profitability the only measure of usefulness?

My Economics degree comes in very handy. I can logically and correctly explain the theory behind my unemployment.

IMO a History Degree would be worthwhile except that Most History depts have become post modern shitte-holes. The problem is the extreme bias of most of the History/Social Studies academia. The Universities are ripe for change...they are tottering as their investments have cratered and the Cost/Benefit equation has come into focus.

Sounds to me like this whiny-assed idiot may have “worked hard” in high school but didn’t learn anything about BUSINESS. He sure didn’t create a very good BUSINESS PLAN about financing his life goals.

No, what you really have here is back-biting about a frustrated sense of entitlement. Yeah, hey, I went to college and law school. Where’s my big house? Where’s my Lexus?

Me Me Me. Sounds like a little choir girl.

“Kellum did everything he was supposed to do to get ahead in life.”

I take it he thinks he should be handed a job because he got a degree. Someone should have taken him aside and told him the real world isn’t like clockwork or high school. In the real world your life’s plans mean nothing to everyone else. They all have life’s plans of their own.

There are plenty of folks out there with libarts degrees who do very nicely for themselves. Even history degrees, believe it or not.

Newt Gingrich's academic claim to fame is his history degree. It is something more persons who aspire to lead this nation need to study. Without knowing history, we keep repeating our mistakes.
