This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Getting a $100,000+ value scholarship is a lot by Irishdog80
for an 18-22 year old to make. The bottom line is there is a line outside the door waiting for that same scholarship.
Why haven't you explained your earlier comment, "What's ironic is that in his very next paragraph, he unintentionally acknowledges as much in talking about traveling between California and New Jersey for competition." means they are working full time. Are you saying traveling a few times a year means you deserve full time compensation? Back in the day, I must have been working several full time jobs. Please elaborate.
