Food for Thought: A passage on altruism

[reeay]

It never occurred to me to quit school, even when it got hard.
I guess I liked punishment, since I went through my masters degree.
But a doctorate would be too specialized and would not serve me at work.
In fact the masters just cost me more money (in loans) and does not help my position at work.

Yeah doctorate degree isn't that useful (unless profession requires it, even then it depends what exactly you want to do in career). In some ways I do regret going for one and in others it made sense.

If you'd asked high school-Rie whether she'd get advanced degrees she'd prob be like, you cray-cray to think that. lol
