Unfortunately, Masters are the new bachelors, especially with a major like Business.
The real question is probably how competitive you’ll be for admission to a good MBA program.

- I know it’s unfortunate, but this is what extreme poverty looks like. If you have a solution for extreme poverty, there’s a Nobel Prize in your future. If not, you’re just rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. Either way, the answer isn’t making asinine arguments on Reddit.

That’s not how logic works.

Did you just learn about this problem in school today, and now you think you understand it? It’s a very old, very complex issue. Remind me, since you’re so proud of your opinions, how well Obama’s Conflict Mineral laws worked out for locals in the DRC? Well-intentioned? Yes. Disastrous for local “exploited” labor? Also yes.

What’s the cost/kwh? Solar in Maine is about 13 cents, which is about twice the national average, but still pretty darn good. I have a 5kw roof and rarely get an electric bill.
I’m not opposed to tidal at all, btw. I support a diverse energy portfolio, but the economics have to make sense or it’ll never get off the ground.
Decentralized energy production is the future, I think. Well, I hope it is anyway.
