Don’t Destroy Your Sex Rank By Stupid Educational Choices

One of the more obvious things that make men sexy is having a coherent career. Whatever it is in particular isn’t all that vital, as long as the man can show some kind of general story arc of making more money and generally gaining more power in his work environment.

Money isn’t everything, but below a certain level of income, it sure feels like it’s everything. When all is said and done, more money is generally better than less money. All things being equal the guy with a $100,000 income is going to go home with the pretty girl, and the guy making $25,000 gets to go home with her designated ugly fat friend aka “The DUFF”.

This is an incredibly harsh way of looking at the world, but tell me it ain’t the way it all plays out time and time again. Once upon a time having an income was all a guy needed to have in order to land a wife and she was completely dependent on him for that income. Times have changed and generally women earn similar incomes to men, but having a decent income still rates as an important signal of social worth.

We all don’t get to be CEO’s or astronauts, but as long as you aren’t failing by ending up working retail, serving coffee or flipping burgers when you’re age 30+, you’re generally doing ok. To be sure some professions have a generally higher status than others, but what you do may not be as important as how you do it. You may be better off being an amazing teacher as opposed to a really awful lawyer for example.

One of the ways you can seriously damage your overall earning power and career arc is by being stupid in your education. You pretty much can’t hurt yourself by your high school choices other than getting crappy grades, but once you’re at the college level you can cripple yourself for years to come by bad choices.

Before you go to college – know that you are being sold a ticket to an outcome. The college doesn’t care about the outcome; they only care about the sale of the ticket. So if the college can convince 500 people to enroll and graduate from Tulip Arranging, earning $60,000 per student, but only 2 jobs for Professional Tulip Arrangement exist and 498 people end up with a completely useless degree… well that’s not really the college’s problem. Well it might make the college business department build a statue of a giant Tulip with the $30,000,000 revenue and they will make damn sure that the brochures for the next class will be extra glossy.

Then the poor saps that graduated from Tulip Arranging have $45,000 worth of loans and Starbucks is hiring. They can’t afford to return to college ever again, and there we go. Trapped serving coffee until they die. Trying to meet women when you’re in debt and serving coffee has got to be the suck.

The problem is that a large number of college degrees / majors don’t seem to be for anything other than filling out the coffers of the college. See, if you go through med school, nursing school, law school etc, all those schools are a direct line to having an actual job at the end of it. If you go through med school, it’s pretty damn obvious that you better work your ass as a doctor at the end of school. That’s the whole point. But if you do a degree in English, or History, or Psychology or basically any of the liberal arts degrees, there is no direct line to a job. You can complete you entire degree and still not know what the hell you want to do at the end of it.

Then you head out into the world and work for a bit and discover what you do like, and you may or may not have to head back to school to do that. All in all this turns into the most appalling waste of time and money right in your most fertile and attractive spouse seeking years.

Given the choice between a 25-26 year old male that has a smart education, and has been working in that field for a few years and had a minor promotion, or a 25-26 year old male that has a useless degree and is serving coffee, it’s a no brainer what a savvy female is going to be more interested in. And by savvy I mean perky tits.

And lets not discount not even going to college. Plumbers, Electricians, Carpenters etc can all make WTF good money without even going to “higher” education. Just have a plan and play it out. Sometimes the “smart people” can make appalling decisions while the supposedly less smart people just have more common sense and finish strong. That’s $400 to stop the leaky pipe on a Sunday for an hours work. Think about that.

If you want to learn about Tulip Arranging, do it on your own time as a hobby. But don’t waste tens of thousands of dollars and years of your life educating yourself for a job that may or may not be there, and may pay crappy money when you get there.
