My dad is a doctor. Was literally never around when I was a kid cause he was either working his two jobs, studying, or in class. He's been paying off his student loans for almost 20 years now. He is well known in my small hometown because hes a great doctor and just an overall good person in society. He isn't getting student loan debt relief, but these people are. Let that sink in.

[@Maniacman2030]

That's because your Father grew up with a good work ethic and a plan. He also went to Med School because he actually wanted to help people, not just make money like the current crop of Med Students and Hospital Medical Board Boomers. He sounds like a rare breed and in small towns, manners and courtesy are far more common practice. I'd bet Wokie White Collar kids would snub their nose at him, but his work is criminally underappreciated and contributes far more to society than they ever will. He sounds like someone that should be sought for wisdom and guidance, not some fembot Gender Studies major.

@@ItsJustAnus I don't like to hate on obscure or liberal arts degrees too heavily. Some can infact be very useful. The problem is that the degree may only be tangentially useful, and you will not end up working in that field. Also, universities won't care what the job placement rate is for a degree program. They will sell you on anything while you use OPM (other peoples monies). The moral hazard is measurable and exact.

Spoiler alert. I actually know how the pyramids were built. Maths, assembly line and logistics protocols for tool sharpening and stone block transport; and ALOT of slaves. Also sand. They used the sand to exploit physics. Also ropes and basic primitive pulley systems.

[@Tranzisto]

​@@py_a_thonwell, slaves probably only indirectly influenced the buillding of the pyramids by doing some menial jobs, most historians/archaeologists nowadays agree that it were the paid labourers who did most of the building. Also their tools weren't exactly primitive, when you go down the rabbit hole of how ingenious some of the ancient Egyptians' inventions were you can get quite stunned almost with some of the stuff they came up with in the absense of things like electricity or steam power.
