You make more within the same field often times with an advanced degree but a lot of things (business owner, engineer, etc) don’t really require advanced degrees and can often times pay extremely well.

Like take tech. If you’re a good software engineer and you don’t work in research, having a graduate degree is kinda pointless. You’re not going to be a better engineer for it. Yet you can make a lot of money with just a bachelors and sometimes not even a degree. It’s all contextual.

Most dogs will bite through fear/aggression, which could get worse by pepper spraying even if the dog runs away after you were to spray it. Pepper spraying the dog won’t stop it from happening repeatedly-the owner needs to stop being shitty.

If they’ve already gotten someone to come out and give a warning that’s more than I’d have expected. I’d asked the animal control to follow up on the warning with a fine.

Not a surprise. While an increase in education usually has a direct correlation with a higher salary, it’s all about supply and demand. DC needs skilled labor and jobs with clearances (which doesn’t always need a graduate degree). There isn’t much demand for master degree jobs in this area. Plus there is plenty of supply of those who have them here.
