yes, what percent of all degrees are the type that are worth it?

5%?  Less??

These colleges even have their own loan programs - with a chance (slim) that you might not have to pay the loan
Depends on the school.  I'd guess at GaTech, half or more of the degrees are worth something.  A lot of "sociology" majors try for law school, which is another degree that can be worthless.  Education degrees at least are vocationally targetted.  A music degree means you will teach piano lessons.

Most chem majors want to go to med school, some do.  I dimly recall my orgchem class started with over 180 students and ended with about 30, most of whom were going to med school, or thought they were.  The drop rate was astonishing after the first test.

A BS chem degree isn't that worth it, a BSChemEng degree often is.

I'm not even a Boomer and I agree with this... Show up on time. And "on time" ain't 5-10 minutes late.

My wife had a millennial MA (this was before we met) who was a new hire and would literally show up to work 5-10 minute late every single day. She'd always have some excuse about kid dropoff / etc. But every single day she showed up with a piping hot Starbucks. Guess whose job didn't survive when the 90 day probationary period was up?

It’s funny, I have never had a full-time job with a hard and fast start time. Like I’ve never had a job that tells me that I have to be at the office by nine every day.

That said, even as a millennial, I firmly respect people and their time. so I will always work to make it on time for something that takes the time of someone else. (and running a remote team, I like to at least be online and in contact with much of my staff by 9 AM)

McDonalds is by far the industry leader in fast food, and they’ve also led the way in terms of menu price increases this past decade, according to Finance Buzz.

Among the restaurants Finance Buzz measured inflation for, McDonald’s was the top of the list with a 100% average price increase across 10 different menu items since 2014.

Four of their menu items have more than doubled in price since 2014, including their McDouble burger, medium fries, and Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal, which used to cost $5.39 and will now run customers back almost $12.

The McChicken sandwich saw the greatest price increase, almost tripling in price from $1.00 in 2014 to $2.99 in 2024.

The "news" is often bad.  People seem to like to emphasize the bad.  And major projects of course fail to meet promises, are late, over budget, and boondoggle white elephants (CA HSR).  I have to give credit to these guys, this is a private consortium with some public monies that has largely delivered, and the Beltline is a great success by most accounts.  My main complaint is that it's over crowded on nice days, I find other places to walk or jog, but that's a good problem.  The concept of placing light rail on the line is ... controversial, and I'm not sure where I stand on it.  But they are getting the walkways done nicely.  Someday I'll be able to walk up to the Sweetwater Brewery and sit on their patio, which is quite nice.

This has had a major impact especially on the east side.

Id forgotten just how funny this movie is.
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.
