When talking about the "real world" one has to look at the economy as a collective whole, not at a micro level affecting each individual differently. As for making money in college, most students work full time during the summer, which is where I came up with my figures. Internships at the college level pay good money, especially if one displays interest in working for their company in the long term.
Waiting tables in a college town, or bartending also pulls in serious cash.
I did not really want to get into this at all, can we leave it at this. My addition to this forum was to illustrate why I liked this bundle from Sony's marketing point of view, not to get into a debate about economics or individual entitlement and success. I wanted people to look at it from another perspective, not just as a consumer.
I see that I have offended you with my posts, and retract any statements that may have done so. If it's alright with you can we put it to rest.
