Six figure job. Said he was a tech on Dragonsfury chat.

Also just because someone has a higher salary than you do doesn't mean you aren't "smart" lol, and even that is subjective (CAPTAIN OBVIOUS DERP !_!). In fact, Justin Bieber makes more money than Rubix - but that means nothing LMFAO

@doss: naw dude i never said he's smart cause he makes a lot of money

we assume people with proper jobs that make a lot of money are smartER than people with similar jobs that make less money

celebrities and the like are outliers, we should never include them in discussions of smartness / jobs / salary because they are outliers of society - hence the reason why we call them CELEBS. there aren't that many of them

**Reincarnate** · 11-30-2010, 01:35 AM

one isn't smart because they make a lot of money
one makes a lot of money if they're smart

OneHandNow · 11-30-2010, 01:37 AM

but seriously though let me be bill gates for one day

i heard he makes like $5k/sec

**Reincarnate** · 11-30-2010, 01:38 AM

sigh

$5k a second... beyond depressing

Wait a second that can't be right

OneHandNow · 11-30-2010, 01:41 AM

I lol'd.

I never took any communication classes but I don't know if they could be a bigger joke than some of my education classes. It's so nice when I get out of those classes and go into a math class. It keeps my brain from atrophying.

**Reincarnate** · 11-30-2010, 11:59 AM

Communications is usually associated with people who weren't good enough to handle the business school... or are aimlessly lost and have no idea what to major in (so they pick something easy).

Most of the girls back at Penn that I knew in the Comm major were really hot... so I don't think the lack of "useful" major is going to hurt them. If you're sociable and good-looking, you've already got a decent leg up. But if you're an average dude with no connections? Don't bother with communications lmfao.

Majoring in English is also one of those hazy areas. While it may be an interesting subject, it doesn't do much for your employability. Almost every single Ivy League English major graduate I know had problems finding work... some of them decided to just jump into grad school to pursue something more "employable." Others didn't get the memo and went on to get additional degrees in Classics or Art History... hhmhmhm.

My cousin was a Comm major and somehow managed to get a job with NBC in NYC. You pretty much HAVE to network to get anything out of that.

Everyone else who graduated with him are still searching for jobs haha.
