Having a degree really only protects the person making the hiring decision. In other words, if the person making the hiring decision picks someone without a degree, they are putting themselves at great risk if that person screws up, especially if another candidate with a degree was not chosen. Think "You hired someone without a degree?!?! What were you thinking?"

We all know you only get out of degree what you put into it.

I had already read many many books on HR theory and HR management but I needed a degree to get into management. Luckily, they accepted UoP degrees, so I got one of those.

One of my co-workers found out that the women's restroom has a couch for the women to rest on. He started getting upset that the men's room didn't have the same thing.

I looked him straight in the face and said, "Dude, if there was a couch in the men's room, would you want to even sit on it?"

Of course no sane person would want to sit on a men's restroom couch. I guess it's OK for women, even though they leaver their restrooms much dirtier (former janitor).

I can acknowledge the fact that it's somewhat impressive that he hasn't been caught and has apparently figured out a way to avoid detection while using technology that makes that even harder.

But like the above poster said, he and his mother wouldn't be too happy if I found him in my house in the middle of the night.

It's OK to recognize the care-free and romantic travels of the highway drifter while also realizing that such a life also sounds like it sucks.

I work in an offsite office and did a lot of furnishing myself from the second-hand store. I put a couch in there. I can't recommend it enough. It's amazing how refreshing it is to take a quick nap whenever I feel it's necessary.

If you looked at the MMA and UFC pre-cursor Pancrase fighting, they were bare-knuckle fights and many many fighters preferred the open-palmed slap/punch over the fist punch, precisely because if you punch someone in the head, something is going to break and unless to catch someone on the jaw or mash them square in the nose, it'll probably be the hand.

Also in bare-knucle fighting, most punches were thrown to the body/arms/chest for the same reason. You can't punch someone in the head for 15 rounds.

About the injuries, boxing gloves allow for extended rounds of punches being delivered to the head, so while it reduces acutes injuries, like cuts and broken hands, it increase brain-related trauma, which is far worse.

My moral code against cheating did not extend to mandatory courses or required classes. I'll cheat on an art, foreign language, or music test as soon as look at you. I actually enjoy all of those things however.

At some point, only the most clever and most intelligent people will be cheating and stopping cheating so what's the point?

Back in my day it was the brute force cheat, break into classroom, jimmy open file cabinet, photo copy test, get a team to complete the test and print out cheat sheets in 3-4 point font. Team gets the answers for free, everyone else pays.

I think more research is needed. What if ALL people with this gene have a history of violence? If these people are simply genetically programmed for that switch to flip, does locking them up in jail solve the problem.

If you've never gone into the "rage hole", tis a scary place where all humanity disappears, no thoughts, no awareness, only FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! If people are genetically pre-disposed with a light trigger, they're simply in the wrong time.
