After the final spin cycle of washing machine, it leaves some water behind.  It doesn't seem to leave the clothes damp and dry after a wash anymore.

Does anyone know what this problem might be?

Some grad students get funded for their research like there's no tomorrow.

 I think we all need to note the words "some grad students" in the above two posts.
 
 Not...ALL grad students are x or All grad students are y.

well these grad students say a starting job at 55k a year is a 'low paying' job.

 It can be.  Depends what your field of study is.
 What if you're a jet propulsion engineer?  With a PhD?  $55k is a low starting wage.

well this person works for EA, computer science programmer people. All my friends are quickly becoming engineers and computer programmers, who would of thunk it.

Well I for one think the root of a mess of problems, is the attitude that a STARTING job at $55 grand is a low paying job.   Everybody wants to start at the top.  Although as Lil Me said.....for some fields, I guess it would be.

  Education, training, degrees etc. are only the groundwork for a high paying jobs.  Experience and work ethics, are what should allow a person to move up the salary ladder.  I've worked with people with degrees coming out their ying yang that haven't got an ounce of common sense or the ability to think outside their realm, and have a healthy dose of some sense of entitlement.  I've also worked with high school drop outs, that are eager, quick learners with great attitudes, that are willing to work their buns off.

  ......given the choice......
