You fool! You've activated the bat signal! I'm gonna have to independently evaluate the constitutionality of your advice.

FIFY. Call me racist, but I'm pretty sure the same two Korean ladies work at every alterations shop in the DoD. There's the grumpy lady who works at the counter, speaks some English and handles all of the cash flow. And then there's the slightly more personable lady who works in the back, doing most of the actual alterations, who doesn't speak any English at all. This duo is as enduring as C-3PO/R2-D2, Abbott and Costello, Cheech and Chong, etc.

I guess that came out wrong. Wasn't really trying to be funny. It was more of a "Things could be worse". He could have gone against his conviction of "not getting a cheesy masters just to fill a square" and ended up spending the money/time on it and still ended up in the same boat. Which would have been an even greater kick in the nuts. And I only said it because I've seen it happen already, and I'm new to this. I never said it wasn't good advice or that I didn't wish things were different for him. It was also a heads up that filling the boxes doesn't even guarantee anything either. So I thank him for his advice, and although it may have burned him, it does say something to stick up for ones beliefs, which he did. He's not the first to be burned for sticking up for his beliefs, and won't be the last. But it does take some balls to do so, and to that I actually give him much credit! Yes. I went to a pretty quality MN public HS. I felt that coming out of that I was more of a critical thinker than I was coming out of a bachelors in AE. In my degree program, I learned how to plug and play with formulas and learned some Aeronautical concepts and the way things work, but I didn't feel like I came out as a brilliant thinker ready to solve problems outside of basic aeronautics. I'd actually argue I got more out of my AP classes in high school than I did regular college classes, maybe it was just the way I learn though/my priorities.
