Very bad at geographyđđđ
I mean, that's exactly what I was arguing. Going into $50-$100k debt to become a Doctor making $300k sounds pretty good to me. Now if you go for an Art History degree and wind up with any debt, that's on them for picking a useless degree, which is a bigger issue than the tuition cost in general.
Don't get me wrong, tuition cost is pretty bad at some colleges, but the people complaining about tuition aren't doctors (and other skilled STEM degrees) in the US.
I got a CS degree, graduated with no debt, and started out at 6 figures. Anyone in the US can choose this path, but they don't and then complain about it.
You have no home life as a truck driver and it sucks. There's also a difference between starting $105k and ending $105k. $105k was graduating salary, and I graduated with no debt, and I sit at home all day in my air conditioned room typing on a computer.
On top of that, I can google an Australia Truck Driver salary, it's average of $25-$35 an hour. Awful.
On top of that, 105,000 AUD is equivalent to $78,000. Pretty terrible top end salary to say the least.
Stay mad.
i thought it would be cool to be a truck driver until i actually started driving and realized i didnât have the focus for it lol. music/podcasts help a bit, but i couldnât imagine the droning boredom of driving all day every day.
i made a 17 hour drive to visit my gfâs fam (we did it without stopping for sleep, how genius smh) and 16 hours back. i will never be doing that again. had a damn dog in the backseat too.
Its not a dumb statement tho. Most people that lived in usa said its way easier and they learnt things that in their home country they learned years ago, or just random ppl from there not knowing basic geography, math or whatever. Ive also seen alot of spanish/french ppl that got in america and said that what they learn is braindead and is not the same language. My point is, the average US person is dumb because of their system education, just look at asian countries, even tho they are really poor in some areas, they still have the highest iq in average. After all your example was terrible because comparing iq to money is stupid, but ok
I think wealth correlates with opportunity and education. People in predominantly African and South East Asian countries are disadvantaged in this sense because a large proportion of its citizens cannot afford good education. Likewise, the cyclic and low economic state of each consecutive generation contributes minimally in terms of education, nutrition and general industrialisation of the country, factors which directly one's ability to obtain "wealth". Many people in these countries probably have higher IQs than you think, but majority do not the get the opportunity to apply this to a "wealth-gaining" profession.
Brazil. Brazil has the seventh-highest crime rate in the world with exceptionally high rates of violent crimes. Brazil's homicide rate was 23.6 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 2020âand it has been as high as 30.8 in previous years.
In 1888, Brazil, with a mostly black and mixed race or mulatto population, was the last country in the Western Hemisphere to abolish slavery.
