I graduated from UVA in 1983 and have had a great salary for the past 20 years in the software engineering field. Unfortunately the high salary works against me in spades in trying to find work in today's cheap labor environment.

Haha, good point Fin. Persisting in an impossible task is a marker for conscientiousness, but not intelligence!

If you actually want to try a vocational track it is not even all that clear how to do so anymore.

I have long held the opinion that University has become a mere extension of High School. In years past a High School Diploma was sufficient for people to enter the work force and be successful. Now-a-days a Bachelors degree is required for the same level of work, and a Masters degree has taken the place of the Bachelors degree. Don't even get me started on the lack of vocational schools....

Conclusion: Radish eaters are smarter. They figure out that the problem cannot be solved, while the cookie eaters brains are too busy processing the chocolate and sugar molecules. For a related example see "Homer Simpson"

By giving in to temptation and eating those cookies, I'm saving my willpower for more important things. I'll have to file that excuse away for later.

Oh, I read the other post first. I was sincerely hoping you'd talk about the coffee.

Yay!
