This advice comes from far too many.


Apparently, they cannot fathom the irony in that lack of logic.

as ironic as it may be when you look closely you see that those selling shovels and treasure maps are usually the main ones making money!



Some of us don't want nor need that kind of filthy lucre, man.

Institutions like Berklee College of Music charge an obscene (at least IMHO) amount and crank out WAY more musicians than there will ever be a market for. And because large numbers of these students are not taking out these student loans just for their artistic enrichment, you could probably make a legit case that Berklee is a purveyor of the aforementioned shovels and treasure maps! But the professors there probably would not view themselves as scam artists!
