What safe space, Is eating on tax payers money a safe space? They should rather beg than eat on poor tax payers - The same people doing regular jobs. A guy who is spending his life doing useless degress is eating on backs on poor people mostly. The rich people get their own share of the economic pie anyway. O dear Liberal, You never replied back to my final point, to prove yourself a liberal. Liberal anta. 🤣🤣 Quote
chanchala Posted August 19, 2020 Report Posted August 19, 2020 you know you don't really have to do a 'job' to make money these days... you don't even have to meet a single person in your life to make money. Its magic. Its called the internet. People who still work for corporates do so because they are insecure and are following what is socially acceptable. but plenty others forge their own path. society sucks. you can absolutely limit your interaction with it, and still make tons of money.

They can easily pick up the skills outside their specialty if they wanted to. they just prefer to be in academia. and their immediate circle everyone is in academia. Quote

chanchala Posted August 19, 2020 Report Posted August 19, 2020 also companies who look for bs like 'soft' skills, and 'team work' are all loser companies. same with those that advertise diversity in hiring. companies exist to solve a problem and provide a service. some of the problems may be interesting.. but most are boring and repetitive. research offers better challenges for the smart mind. 1 Quote
