@lain @JSDorn You would've expected it to end there and she'd have an actual job, right? Actuaries get paid STUPID HUGE SALARIES, there's no way she can't find a job as long as she gets off her ass to pass the actuarial exams.

I can explain that one.

Immagine you're working for Blackrock. Are on your way to having a yacht, 4th house etc. All you need to do is hire an accountant who won't fuck up.

And you see a resume with 2 degrees in religion, as well as one in accounting. Add to that a picture with pink hair, and..... do you seriously want to hire her?

@LukeAlmighty @LukeAlmighty @lain @JSDorn If you're in that position you have more than one accountant, resources to train them, and the ability to fire a poor hire. Moreover, actuaries are rare, and the actuarial exams are relatively difficult to pass (everyone who *can* pass them trivially is doing more fun work in Engineering or something).

You do, in fact, seriously consider hiring them based on how many exams they've passed.

Ok..............

Here is my view on the topic.
Tim Pool talked about this too, and it is an importand concept when it comes to any cooperation. (I will try finding the video)

There are some educated people, who are brainless. Tim Had hired these people, and they weren't able to do even the simplest of tasks, without checking back. But, then he found an uneducated guy, who understood what the goal of his position was, and he "just did his job". This person can be educated. But the brainlet cannot be told to do their job.

So, if I want to hire a person, who I can trust can do a good decision, then a person saying "I am in debt and lost 8 years of my life to study religion" would be at the bottom of my list.

My view can be a bit weird, but I did study economics, and I saw both the "natural killers" and the "braindead readers".

And almost all of braindead readers got the degree. That is their talent. And the talent ends exactly there.
