Nobody held a special reserved job all for me. I competed and actually chose between competing job offers. I have now held 5 law jobs and usually it was my choice to leave one for another.
But its not a matter of finding someone to "give you " a job like its a favor or something. Instead I made a choice of a field with a low unemployment rate and was confident in my ability to perform at a level that finding employment wasn't a big issue.
Kid it seems your attitude is almost always passive. In most cases people go out and GET jobs, they are not given.
This seems to permeate your writing . . . The capitalist just has or was given his capital. You can't have any sense that he might have worked his ass off to earn and accumulate that capital to get in the way of your outrage of how unfairly the world treats the workers

I agree. And I think a lot of it has to do with his own life (which I don't know anything about, but which I get the sense has been frustrating for him). |
True although he hasn't been detailed on the point, he has talked about some misfortunes in the labor market and is back in school.
I can understand frustration with the job market but my experience has been that if you have a hard time finding a job, you need to treat finding a job as your job. Anyone I know that has that dedication will find something good pretty quick

Nobody commented on the Canadian insurance rates-- I actually thought they were very reasonable for most specialties. Heck a lawyer can pay several thousands in insurance so something like 5K for a doc doesn't strike me as being out of sorts at all

Let me put it this way: I have absolute confidence in the ability of any doctorate in physics being able to understand anything any physician, biologist or biochemist does with a minimum of background reading. The reverse is simply not true... |
But that is a function of the very specialized nature of the field rather than any measurement of intelligence.
I didn't mean to get into a discussion about physics . . . It may be unreasonable confidence or misplaced optimism but I pretty much think that I could succeed at pretty much any academic program ( I think you would find that attitude prevalent here given the poll where something like 20% of the posters thought they were the smartest person on this board-- I make no claim on the title LOL)

Kid but 95% of people that respond to you fail to see what the point is . . .
Now perhaps you are just so much smarter than everyone else that they just don't get your brilliance but I would look to other explainations

Oh and kid I decided to read up a bit so I picked up a book entitled " A short history of communism" -- It promises to give an analysis and comparison of the communist experience in a number of different countries. I think it will be enlightening and will share once I finish my current book on India

but I have no doubt I could have gotten a PhD in physics if I had chosen that path. Instead I picked something else.
