Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:One of my co-workers just applied to become redesignated as "Casual/Seasonal" instead of full-time. That means you lose your government benefits, but keep your terrible government salary and can work less than 20 hours per week (at a reduced salary commensurate with time worked.) Isn't the whole point of online classes that you can keep working full-time or taking care of your family or whatever? Also it's still a waste of money if the degree is coming from a diploma mill and not an actual university.

Swimming in debt? Want to leave your wife and start a new life with your mistress? Well you can kill two birds with one stone by tampering with your wife's parachute and collecting that sweet sweet life insurance payout! Just make sure she actually dies. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-44241364 quote:Parachute trial: Emile Cilliers guilty of attempted murder

Well you can kill two birds with one stone by tampering with your wife's parachute and collecting that sweet sweet life insurance payout! Just make sure she actually dies. These type of cases are so common. My wife likes watching the ID Channel (ie the Murder channel) and there's a very common theme behind these: -Murderer is in debt/having an affair/both -Victim is unhappy, the victim of abuse already, planning on leaving murderer -Victim is not yet fully isolated from friends and family, and so her peers are concerned for her well being for a while before the murder -Murder is set up to look like improbable freak accident, home invasion, or mysterious disappearance. -If a hitman is hired, it typically happens at a point the victim knows their spouse is planning on murdering them, and the 'hitman' is an undercover officer. The murderer will often give instructions like they are calling a plumber for repairs "Yeah that bitch of a water heater just nags me all day. I need you to take care of it, make it look like an accident or something." -Few rally behind murderer in his defense, occasionally his parents and children but often his own family is suspicious. -The few murderers that get away with it inevitably get caught on their second or third attempt, often due to similar motives and methods.

Haifisch posted:Also the field is still oversaturated, as far as I know. Not impossible to find a job, but a bad enough bet that you probably shouldn't take an online law course while slashing your income and benefits. It is bimodal. If you graduate from a top 11 school you have a good chance at getting 170k working for big law. If not you are stuck making public defender type pay with small annual raises. Only BWM to take on too much debt but otherwise not a bad career.

I mean, his main problem is that his wife experienced an actual miracle and somehow survived a 4,000 foot drop, foiling his plan. That feels like a crime that should have been pretty GWM but wasn't.

Seems like the investigation into the failure, that would have happened regardless of her surviving or not, is what did him in.

SiGmA_X posted:He counts his bad debt as just the credit card debt, not the personal debt - that would bring it up to $70k. I try to be a compassionate person, and I like to think I have a basic grasp of the challenges of financial illiteracy, self-reinforcing patterns of bad decision making, the siren song of consumer debt, etc. But once in a while, a primal cry inside me drowns all that out, and screams, "What the gently caress, why didn't you just stop squandering so much loving money?!"

Do I just live in a weird low-insurance bubble? How on Earth does a married middle aged woman end up paying $463/mo (wife's policy) in auto insurance for a non-exotic car. That sounds like multiple DUI rates. Or "teehee I wrecked my 4th car in a year" rates.

Oh BTW she's a stay at home mom but needs that car to drive one of her kids to daycare every day. Also apparently that daycare must be in another state or something because the "daily uber would be 30$ each way." Square Peg fucked around with this message at 23:32 on May 25, 2018 |

Nearly all of my English lit friends from an underfunded public TX uni are big ballers these days and I myself have never gone a year without getting a nice bump in pay/better job It owns bones, turns out the professional world loves critical thinking skills and strong communicators. Or maybe foofy, silly liberal arts majors are just good at research. This might be it actually because researching what moves to make for better paying work or identifying new opportunities is pretty drat easy to research. The doing itself just takes time.

Kids are a lot of work, requiring both physical and mental energy. I really can't fault a stay at home parent taking that option if it's available. Being a stay at home parent (especially the mom, who probably does 80% of everything aside from childrearing) is harder than people think, and not everybody is great at it. The kids might be better off in daycare for their own sake, who knows.
