Well…this is my habit whether we are in a recession or not. Buying lunch every day is a big waste to me.

I go home for lunch every day and eat leftovers. Eating at restaurants every day is unhealthy and expensive.

True but it's a lot easier to choose to eat healthy when you make it yourself, controlling the amount of unhealthy ingredients. In the end, it still requires some self discipline.

I'm with you Boog. I shop and cook most meals at home as I can control ingredients and eat pretty dang healthy . I too don't wast money going out to some genero place for lunch. I eat at home unless I have lunch meeting. I try to stay away from a bunch of carbs and sugar. Now, if it is some amazing homemade pasta dish or really well made bread, I will indulge , but that is the exception and worth it.

A degree is only one aspect of the job market. There are many careers that pay good and a liberal arts degree is fine. I know numerous people with liberal arts degrees working in engineering. Engineers do a limited amount of the work, every job has communications, PD&E, marketing (private), graphic design, and other skills. These jobs pay well, a PD&E professional working for a private firm can make 125k after 10 years or so. I am sure other professions are similar. But, are they willing to do it? Are they willing to put 10 years in at 60 to 70k? The Boomers that get a bad wrap worked a long time to get to the higher paying jobs. You don't run a Department with 5 years experience, yet too many think they should.

Are there places to make more? Of course, but not everyone is an entrepreneur or into Wall St. But, there are jobs out there...

You can make good money in design. People are too linear. Interior Design is still design, it works with other design careers. A Designer can work with Architects, Landscape Architects, Graphics, Fashion, Entertainment, Sports... Will they have to learn or start in an entry level role? Of course. You say design doesn't matter? I disagree, I have seen how people dress.

I think it's important, but do you need to spend $70k a year at Baylor to learn how to design? I think there's more practical avenues

Fair point. But, let's just say the person values being at Baylor for religious, social or even personal reasons. ends up with 200k and a design degree. It is not game over.

Over the course of a 40 year career with a degree in Commercial Art and Design a BA in the 80th percentile (we will give a BU grad the benefit of the doubt not the top earner, but no slouch either) will earn 3 million dollars. 2.98 with student loan paid off.

Will they be in better shape than someone with no debt? Of course not, but who is? Besides the work ethic or financial gurus on this Board, of course. 2.98M over a career is enough to have a nice life. Not wealthy, but I don't think anyone that goes into design is expecting earn what a small Caribbean Nation does like the Finance guys running to Hedge funds.

A gal in my neighborhood is an interior designer and she is clearly making big bucks. She recommends you spend 1/4 of the cost of your house on the interior design. I think thats crazy but she has people spending $250k to well over a million on her services.

My mum is in the business, does well for herself, and people love her stuff. Her highest form of education is high school though

Everything she learned about design came from magazines and talking to other designers

Interior design can be a very lucrative & productive profession. Far more useless are the identity politics degrees: Queer Studies, Women's Studies (including fake women), Gender Ideology, Ethnic Studies (race hustlers & demagogues), & others based primarily on Cultural Marxism.

No doubt, no one is saying that there is only one path, especially in the creative fields. Talent has to be there and design is a talent. I know some brilliant civil engineers with Phds that can't design a thing that looks good. Will stand for 100 years, but ugly as sin...

Yeah, if they are smart they will make sure the diploma says Philosophy or Political Science!

A philosophy degree is probably worth much less than an interior design degree outside a career in academia. Political science majors often continue with a law degree. Some might consider the usefulness of that one debatable.

True.

Believe it or not, I see a lot of Liberal Arts in PD&E for building roads. There is a lot of community outreach, cultural, environmental and archeological analysis that happens first. Also, engineers and computer guys are so bad at communicating you can make a real nice living just translating into everyday language. It is not a bad niche in engineering.

The other one is Project Management, a good Project Manager can make a ton. Keeping a project moving on time and on budget is an underappreciated skill. Too many look at it as overhead. Watch Fat Man and Little Boy Paul Newman does a great job showing the angst of keeping highly talented, intelligent people working in a common direction. Those guys squirrel like crazy!

Very true.

Do you know how to tell an extroverted computer science major? He'll look at your shoes while he's talking to you.
