  1. Re:Right idea, wrong math. on Richest 2% Own Half the World's Wealth · · Score: 1

    Assets = Liabilites + Equity You can have 100% of the home financed (say 100,000) and have no equity, yet still have 100,000 of assets. In your Case, there is still 100,000 of assets, however some of that is equity (60,000), the rest is liabilities (40,000).

    Exactly, I think the markets have been segmented further and further apart. Now you either buy something of high quality that is very very expensive, or buy something ow quality that is very very cheap. There is no middle ground.

    good point about using the word "decent", what I was trying to get across was that and engineering ed doesnt make you Bill Gates, but it is far from being shabby either - at least in the US.

  15. Re:Currently not worth the educational investment on U.S. Science Gap Fictional? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Education alone does not guarantee that you will make boatloads of money. Why should it? There are several factors which determine earning power.

    One thing that is not taught in school: How to make money.

    You can be virtually guaranteed a decent (50-80k) paying job if you have an engineering / science degree. However, there is some relationship between risk and reward. Perhaps this is why there are wealthy people in sports/arts/entertainment/business ownership - because the risk is so great (fail before you make it, and your broke). Also, alot of scientific/engineering tasks have been commoditized (sp?).

    Sure some people dont have to work hard/smart at all to make mega bucks. Some poeple hit the lottery

    What I believe is powerful, is the ability to tie several disciplines together.

    Now who do I give the most respect to? Engineers & Scientists. But respect != money.

    PS - it's 7:30 on a saturday, so I don't care that much about my spelling or grammar (for all of you grammar nazis out there).

    Also, I busted my Hump to get an engineering degree. Then I busted my hump to get a law degree. Then I busted (well kinda cruised at this point) my hump to get an MBA. Yes, the hardest was engineering. Should I be uber rich? I certainly don't feel entitled to be. looking at things from different perspectives, the key to wealth is being prepared to identify/execute/take advantage of an opportunity when it comes along.

    I know poor lawyers, rich college dropouts, rich engineers, poor athletes. looking at things from different perspectives, the key to wealth is being prepared to identify/execute/take advantage of an opportunity when it comes along - that's what seems to be common among the wealthy. Sure, some or even alot of it is luck...but if the luck comes your way, you have to be able to take advantage of the situation.
