Was this you?

Heretic

"He would make a lovely corpse." - Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

That guy is a MORON, not an oxymoron.

Where did you find the story? Are you sure it's real?

I don't it get it...

I'd have to agree with Wizard that this guy is a moron, if anything.

Did I say Wizard? sorry, meant Fear Factor..

Im with you Wizard, I don't get it either. Is it supposed to be a riddle or is it just a hard luck story?

Im too stupid to get this.

Sounds like the godawful joke called life.
Or, to put it differently:
$50,000 scheme: 4 years of college.
Master/Slave: Work.
$40 watch: Retirement gift after work.

@Mustang -- You could say it is a hard luck story, but it is the most common one around.

is this guy real or not ?? if he spent 4 yrs studying this scheme of his, then he'd be more likely to know everything thats gotta do with it, big and small.. so i'd say this guy's a real moron if i ever met one.

Science is knowledge.
Knowledge is power.
Time is money.
power = work/time
therefore, knowledge= work/money
therefore, money = work/knowledge
therefore, money is inversely proportional to knowledge.

therefore,

The more knowledge you have, the less money you have.

Prepare for the worst, for you have read the worst.

is an oxymoron something which is similar to or sounds like something else

"Make it so Number One"
Captain Picard 'Star Trek the Next Generation'

It depends on how this guy was suckered into this scheme, but he's likely to have to be a moron to continue with that for the first 4 years.
@gowserpaul
An oxymoron is a word or group of words that are self contradictory eg "Greater Manchester" (joking), perhaps a better example would be "deafening silence"

Eat a third and drink a third and leave the remaining third of your stomach empty.
Then, when you get angry, there will be sufficient room for your rage.

I think that the word sucker is perfect for this guy -- he planned to do something, to be his own master, he invested much in it, and then he submitted to his master, only to receive a $40 watch as a token of appretiation for his hard work... That's just plain brutal...


Careful what you wish... You might just get it.

sucker, moron, idiot, dunce... a lot of words could describe this guy.

Huffer got it right. It's called the 'rat race'
it's the job that we are all going into. JOB is 'Just Over Broke'

you spend over 50000 dollar, and 4 years learning in college , only to graduate and get a job that pays you a fwe thousand dollar a month. It may take up to 10 years to break even the initial investment you put in.

When you work for people you make your bosses rich.

Your bosses also tells you when to work, how to spend your time, how to spend your money. With whom or what you spend your money with. and worst off all, they'll make you choose between the important things in your life and your job.

when they don't need you, they'll retire you with a 40 dollars watch.

this is what some people say the 4x4 plan. Learn for 4 years, earn 40000 a year, retire with a 40 dollar watch.

Obviously, not many of you are seeing where you are heading (unless you are working). Most of you are in college, or going to college, and you'll graduate just to work for somebody else..

Its depressing, really...
