Had to read pretty far down to get to this nugget:

“She recently received a raise and now makes $22 an hour working for a photographer. It’s the highest salary she’s earned since graduating with an interdisciplinary degree in religious and women’s studies.”

religious and women’s studies

I just finished reading this and was shocked by that!!!

[CaptainK]

Two years at a community college with a transfer to NYU would have saved her $45000 and her BA diploma would look exactly like the one she has now.

I was about to post the same information, as I was confident that her degree would be something that was virtually worthless in the job market.

I also noted that her expenses include $750.00 a month for rent in San Francisco. Assuming she has a room mate who pays the same, you still do not get much in SF for $1500.00 a month.

Mr Trebek... I think I’ll take religious and womens studies for 100,000 dollars!

[Blue Jays]

That is the precise sentence in the narrative that jumped out at me, too.

She's in debt $100K for a crappy degree like that? I guess you can't fix stupid.

[Oceander]

"... since graduating with an interdisciplinary degree in religious and women’s studies."

Holey Moses! This is the woman who sank $100,000 on college - for a degree that is probably more worthless, skills-wise, than even a degree in art history!!!!!

I'm sorry, but she in large part (not completely, but almost so) deserves the punishment she's inflicted on herself. I can see somebody taking a considered risk and investing $100,000 in a law degree from NYU, or an MBA, but in an "interdisciplinary degree in religious and women’s studies," no.

She recently received a raise and now makes $22 an hour working for a photographer.

She's making above-average wages and she's whining?

[Die_Hard Conservative Lady]

” graduating with an interdisciplinary degree in religious and women’s studies.”

What?????????????

Is that a career???

[SteamShovel]

interdisciplinary degree in religious and women’s studies

I don't know which is more stupid.....

.....The fact that this degree exists.

.....OR.....

.....That she took on large debt to get this "degree" without thinking how she was going to pay for it later.

>> “She recently received a raise and now makes $22 an hour working for a photographer. It’s the highest salary she’s earned since graduating with an interdisciplinary degree in religious and women’s studies.”

Yeah, but her degree is from a really good pricey college!

She should be making at least $22.50, maybe even $22.75.

Life just ain’t fair for these victims.
