    OT: Anyone else think Rutgers is absurdly expensive?

    There’s also a shortage of auto technician. Ford CEO Jim Farley is highlighting a critical shortage of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 qualified auto technicians at U.S. dealership, causing significant service delays. Despite offering high-paying, six-figure salaries ($120,000+) I think the shortage...

    OT: Anyone else think Rutgers is absurdly expensive?

    . There Are 70% of white males that don’t feel the pressure to go to college. Another question is there are over 1.9 million long term unemployed in 2025, why don’t they become the electricians and plumbers that are needed or some think we need? Is there a demand for more? I always have a...

    OT: Anyone else think Rutgers is absurdly expensive?

    True, at my health club, there was a young white male with good communication skills that graduated college and I asked him why he was working there at the reception desk. He wanted to become a police officer and I guess waiting for the right opportunity.

    I think only about 15% pay sticker price. It seems like everyone is getting discounts or grants or scholarships which make everyone happy paying for the overprice education.

    Another blue collar job that pays well are corrections officers. I hear the recruiting commercials after 5 years $105,000 but 5 years from now probably $110,000. Police officers make $130,000 not including the OT and retire after 20 years at 50% their salary.

    OT: Anyone else think Rutgers is absurdly expensive?

    I think that if you’re smart, motivated and socially can deal or work with others, you will be successful if you go to college or not. Yes, college cost more but smart people find ways to attend without having huge student loans. My family members will normally save enough to pay for their kids...

    Most everyone that post that attended Rutgers appears to be successful. In addition, I noticed that many post on the board that their kids got into college normally Rutgers or even more elite.

    OT: IRA Roth Conversion

    One other point, I don’t want to leave a significant IRA to my beneficiaries. I rather leave them a Roth IRA. Depending on when you pass, if it’s earlier than 90, your beneficiaries may still be working in their 50-60’s. Their tax rate might be as high as 40-50% including the state income tax...

If you look at the tax table 2026 for single the 12% tax rate upper range is $50,400 and any income over that starts at 22%. Add in the standard deduction of $18,150 and tax for 12% is $68,540 but Trump added additional...

    OT: Another NJ farm to be seized

    Base on previous thread, I thought New Jersey was going to be empty in a few years with everybody moving out, the same with New York City and San Francisco. I recently read articles that San Francisco and NYC are back and desirable places to live. AI brought SF back according to Nvidia CEO...
