    So uh… I had to look up the term ‘CJ Degree.’

    … Criminal Justice.

    As in… learn ‘industry practices’ to be qualified as a corrections officer (jail/prison guard), private detective, cop, paralegal, etc.

    The first thing that came up was a particular college’s course overview and goals checklist… one of the goals was …

    Attend a financial literacy workshop.

    So not only is this person a moron, not only is this person in all likelihood a prison guard, not only did they go to college to become a prison guard, they shouldn’t have even graduated with their degree.

    As a person from a white trash neighborhood, who got real degrees, first in the family to go to college… I have not gotten white trash vibes this strong in quite a long time.

      Unfortunately there’s a lot of criminal justice jobs that only require a two year technical degree. Depending on location and school it’s likely that it was “check the boxes” kind of program for a field that is understaffed.

        Ah, the prison-industrial-degree mill complex.

        Love it.

        Fucks over everyone, in so many ways.

        … A good portion of the families I grew up next to just actually had half of their family as criminals, in prison, usually for consistent DUIs or drug charges and domestic abuae…

        … and the other half were prison/jail guards/staff.

        Thats what I mean by ‘white trash.’

        People that unironically described themselves as ‘wiggers’ back in the 00s.

      I can acknowledge that she’s probably an awful person and deserves to be destitute while simultaneously feeling sympathy for her and not wanting her to make any rash decisions and make her situation worse.

      Things are pretty bleak. Not in a “haha trump is gonna look so dumb” kind of way, but a supply chain interruption, famine, rioting and civil unrest kind of way.

      There’s lots of people to blame but that doesn’t make me feel any better.

            The pain from the market crash will give her all the education she need.

            Many investors learn how to invest better and keep emotions out after losing money on the stock market. She obviously have never experienced her investment losing money before so she is panicking.

    Just put your money into stocks! Buying 10 shares of Apple right now would cost $2,000 but once it bounces back to the price it was at before the dip you’d have $2,500! That’s a profit of $500 in just a few years!
