>thinks accepting IQ data, replicable since the early 20th century and filling in a puzzle piece to human accomplishment, is blind acceptance

I'm graduating with a degree in philosophy soon and I've got good internship experience under my belt in the advertising industry and no debt to speak of besides some minor credit card fuck ups.

I thought about electrical engineering and finance. It's not that they're too quantitatively challenging for me, it's that I would've been left utterly unfulfilled. And this is coming from someone who grew up dirt poor, well aware of the pain of poverty. You have to weigh the risks of graduating indebted and prospectless with how much being poor sucks.

That said, a finance job would have made me hang myself next to my Porsche and an engineering job, while I love circuits, seemed way too mundane and task-oriented.

You already fucked up by going $70k into debt in lieu of going to community college for virtually nothing. You need to apply anywhere that will school you for free/give you scholarships for having a good GPA. Do anything, because it's assretarded to graduate $140k in debt for an English degree. And unless you're going to a top tier English school, no one gives a shit where you got your degree at. You might as well go somewhere cheap as shit.

I'm moving to New York after I graduate and I'm probably gonna be living out of my car, utilizing only my cell phone, a tablet, and a gym membership until I can find some decent work in advertising. I need to wiggle my foot in the door somewhere, somehow, and I will.

You chose to do this OP, and it's going to be harder for us. Time to nut up.

>descriptive analysis of the possibility of inter-ethnic cooperation between the South Ossetians and the Georgians; and the Chechens and the Russians
>Is academia just bullshit or what?

Sounds like unimportant obscurantist obfuscation, no offense.

So yes, academia is bullshit.

Debating what I should do for grad school. Go out and work, return for an MBA, JD, or PhD?

Then I realized getting a doctorate in history involves reading hundreds of specialized books and regurgitating the information haphazardly in a bullshit, ad hoc thesis.

I'm probably just gonna shoot for an MBA and become a moderately wealthy, overly materialistic, albeit depressed, person. This, still, is miles better than wasting my time in academia focusing on the minutiae of Victorian water sports, teaching undergrad courses, and fighting tooth and nail with 8,000 indebted sycophants for 6 tenured positions.

I think Satre is a frail, rabble-rousing, cum-guzzling, crooked (pun intended) faggot.

>"muh capitalism"

fuck off

>muh absurdity of life

Shut up you faggot, we all had understood existential absurdities by the age of 10. It a not a novel thing to be like "holy fuck I am on a plane" or "oh shit I'm sitting in a seat" while realizing the inanities. Just because you were the first faggot to write about it doesn't mean it's special.

And misreading Heidegger doesn't get you in a brownie points either? Why was this faggot special?

Why??
