— College students overestimate starting salaries by $24K. DD: According to my critics/opponents, the federal government always grossly overpaid me. With a bachelor’s degree in business, my starting IRS salary was $56,409/year in today’s dollars when I was 22 in 1971. With an MBA and having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, my starting GAO salary was $89,703/year in today’s dollars when I was 31 in 1980.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/careersandeducation/college-students-overestimate-starting-salaries-by-24k-survey/ar-AA22yOB5
(FROM THE ARTICLE: College students’ salary expectations are out of step with reality, a new survey suggests. Undergraduates pursuing a bachelor’s degree expect to earn roughly $80,000 one year after graduation — about $24,000 more than the average starting salary of $56,153, according to Clever Real Estate. Clever surveyed 769 undergraduates and found that elevated salary expectations were common across all majors, but students studying education and nursing showed a wider disconnect than others. The 10 college majors with the highest unemployment. “Although teachers have historically been underpaid, education majors still anticipate making a starting salary of $75,186 — about 62% more than the $46,526 they will likely receive,” the report said. Nursing majors expect a starting salary of $83,219 or 32% more than a “realistic salary” of $63,000 for nurses with one year of experience, according to Clever. But even students in higher-earning degree programs overestimated their starting salaries. Engineers, for example, expect to start at $92,452 — roughly 17% more than the $78,731 they will likely make one year out of college, the report noted. Starting salaries weren’t the only misjudgment – students’ mid-career expectations were off, as well. Ten years after graduation, the students surveyed expected to make around $145,000 on average, but the average mid-career salary is only $95,521, Clever said.)

DD: All my employers were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat elected officials to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran. The Democrats who ran the Post Office would not have hire me in 1966 if I had not passed the postal employment test and earned a high school diploma. The Democrats who ran IRS in 1971 would not have hired me if I had not earned a bachelor’s degree in business and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 would not have hired me if I had not earned an MBA and passed the CPA examination in my first attempt.

FOX NEWS
— Tom Homan answers how many more deportations needed to restore country. Homan confirmed the Trump administration is onboarding 10,000 more immigration enforcement agents to carry out deportations. DD: When I was 22 in 1971, I had to have a job. My father had died suddenly and I was helping support my mother and brother and my Firestone Store boss had fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile, an offer that Oldsmobile withdrew because it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS, the only offer that I got. But what if the only job offer that I got was to be an immigration enforcement agent?

HERITAGE FOUNDATION
— The War On Patriotism. DD: Many, most, virtually all, and at times, all of my superiors and supervisors were Democrat veterans. They blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War. They used my using deferments to avoid the Vietnam War draft against me big time. They stressed that I was 1-A for the draft. They stressed that I would not have been sent into combat because I could not run because I had a bone disease, because my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and because I had partial red/green color blindness. They hinted/implied/argued that because of the aforesaid, I was a disgusting unpatriotic coward and even worse things. They took many big adverse actions against me.

I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

LEGAL INSURRECTION
— Western history is no longer approached as a complex legacy, marked by both common failings and unparalleled achievements—but is instead subjected to anachronistic and biased persecution.

Ever-increasingly, they hint/imply/argue/shout that the more of the aforesaid that you are, the more that you owe all your successes in life to your benefitting from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, poor, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time.

— Personal responsibility. DD: What do your critics/opponents attribute your career success to? My critics/opponents do not attribute my career successes to my effort or to my ability. According to them, because I was a federal employee, I had plenty of time and money to do the following because federal employees work only 40 hours a week and because they are grossly overpaid: a) earn a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) get promoted when I was 22, 23, 25, and 38, c) earn job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, d) earn professional certifications when I was 30, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and e) earn a job-related professional license when I was 32. Further, they stress a) that I avoided the Vietnam War draft, b) that my wife always had good-paying jobs, and c) that we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.

— DD: After you earned your bachelor’s degree, what harmed your job search? For me, it was potential employers seeing me as being draft bait.

Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure from Democrat elected officials to hire Democrats who were minority, female, and/or veteran and I was none of the aforesaid. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got. But it was for a job that did not really require a college degree.
