Fun with Science

Also I'm now getting very far afield of the topic of bankruptcy, but the other reason that Dave Ramsey sucks is that he has an obsessive fixation on "useful" college degrees. He never asks listeners where they are going to school, only what they're studying. I don't dispute that an engineering degree makes it easier to get a job, but a literature degree from Harvard is going to be a lot more helpful than an HVAC certificate from a for-profit college.
I wonder how many liberal arts degree folks from Ivy League schools have ever called into Dave Ramsey's show? I'd guess zero, tbh.

Dave Ramsey is the remedial English teacher of the financial world. He's not teaching the honors course. His job is to turn failing students into not-failing students. And he's good at that. But if you're aiming for higher than a C, you should look elsewhere.

Anyway, my FIL is a bankruptcy trustee. He says that business is very slow right now, and that the recent law changes have deterred a lot of perspective bankruptors. Is that your experience, Boof?
