Beat: a person with a masters in English says "I could care less...". Yikes.

[/ QUOTE ]There is nothing wrong with that, and it annoys me that so many people think it's wrong. It's like saying "I don't care very much, but I'm a glass-half-full kind of person".

Then his brag would make no sense. He's so happy that he actually cares quite a bit about how small his bankroll is? I don't think so.

I hope you were just mildly leveling me.

Most English people think "couldn't care less" and "could care less" mean the same thing, nit: http://www.bartleby.com/64/C003/078.html

"Couldn't care less" = I care 0 amount.
"Could care less" = At least I care more than 0 amount. It's said in a sarcastic tone, and implies that you care very little but want to say it in a positive way.

If you listen to people when they say these two phrases, you'll notice the first people emphasize the word "couldn't", while the second people emphasis "less".

in the end, anything can mean anything

Wow. I am glad everyone is so worried about my grammar in a 30 second post I made without any revision.

I say "yo" too when I talk to friends. That's right, a person with a Masters in Education says "yo". Doesn't that just get you going?

For those who said congrads, I thank you. Having worked from 8am-9pm almost every day for the past year b/t teaching and class, I am quite realized this is over. I've got a job interview with a good school in the Bronx this week.

Since when is a masters degree in English a brag? This is such a huge beat I can't even begin to explain. Why not just get a masters in philosophy if you really want to waste your time, and make nothing year in and year out.

It's a Masters degree in English Education.

I would rather make 50k being a high school teacher than 100k sitting 50 hours a week at a desk.
