In 1995, I (then age 13) asked someone with a master’s degree about her career and what advice she had as part of a Scouting project.
“Never accept less than $30,000,” she told me.
1996.
Job ads like that are such an indictment of where our society is.

I immediately made up a Paw Patrol plot about why the koi palace needs security… all I can say is, I’n glad my kids have outgrown it! Clearly I haven’t recovered yet! 😅

Also my dishwasher had a secret little filter we did not know about at first (moved into house, no manual). Cleaning that sucker makes a big difference!

Oh good! I was worried that a “but” was dangling beyond the end there. (Like when the pediatrician told me that lactation consultants love to diagnose tongue ties and they’re always wrong, but then she actually looked at my child…)

My sister had her tonsils out to alleviate snoring. The pain was horrendous and it didn’t help at all. (Obviously an anecdote and YMMV.)

Reminds me a bit of how Signed Exact English was trying to pitch itself as a better alternative to ASL, but I read about that in undergrad more than 20 years ago and it was 20 years old at the time, so my memory is pretty vague.
