I also thought in the 1990s that having a decent GPA and a college degree would guarantee me a $50,000+/year job when the average home price was $100,000. Boy was I wrong!
Lol, I learned that one the hard way too.
Actually I've moved to the right as I've gotten older. When I was in HS & early college I was center-right on economics and center-left on social issues. Didn't think a lot about foreign affairs. I've moved to the right on both counts to where I'm hard-right on economics and center to center-right on social issues (depends on the issue). Guess looking at that gross vs net on my paycheck had an effect on me
