Re: So EB players and team members , where do you go to school or what is your degree?
Well I like switching between universities 'cuz I have a tendency to get bored a little too often (just like I do with my EB campaigns). So far I had one year in Philosophy at the Babes - Bolyai University in Cluj, Romania (quited) and three years in Psichology (on pause). At this moment I am in my second year at the Ovidius University in Constanta, Romania - Medieval History and still thinking about changing my speciality on Ancient but not sure. Maybe I'll do that when I get bored (just managed to change my specialization from Modern History to Medieval). I might have a problem with taking decisions. :juggle2: So far I'm thinking about a phd in History of the Ottoman Empire or maybe The Crusades. Byzantine Empire is way too complex/vast for an irresolute/skeptical/agnostic like myself.
P.S. At 24 years old I am also thinking about joining The French Foreign Legion but this might be only a lucidity crisis. So far reason said "No!".

Re: So EB players and team members , where do you go to school or what is your degree?
Two years at St. John's College, Annapolis, dual major in philosophy and classics; I was planning to go for a commission in the US Navy once I graduated. Got horrifically sick and used my tuition money to pay for hospital bills, so I took the OTHER route into the Navy. I'm getting out the Navy in about six months, whereupon I'm going back to St. John's through the wonders of the GI Bill. May buck for a commission yet, though I doubt it; I've been eyeing the graduate program in Eastern linguistics at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.

Re: So EB players and team members , where do you go to school or what is your degree?
Its all very true actually, I live in Serbia whose GDP is less then 3,500 $ per capita and I get free health and my medicine - and to tell you something, no body who get's 'horrifically sick' uses his tuition money to pay for hospital bills!
We all get it from the state ! - oh, and yes, my country doesn't spend billions a year for 'plastic' - and insurance companies actually have to report to the goverment and public without a moto - 'less care' - more 'stock's up' - abd share holders...
and sorry, this is my finall post to this subject.. anyone with health problems can come to my country - no one will refuse to give health care if he needs it - that is the law here - and practise
that is all from me ... I wont be addressing in this post again:shame:

If I lived in Serbia I'd probably have been dead. Actually if I'd lived anywhere except London or Maryland I'd probably have been dead; if I'd gotten to the hospital an hour later it'd have been too late, and even then I happened to be lucky enough to be rushed to a hospital with one of the foremost experts in his field.
That's what I meant by the "thank God for Johns Hopkins".

Sorry if I came off as hostile; that wasn't my intent. I have a soapbox on this subject (public vs. private health care systems) that I try very hard to stay off of; obviously I didn't do a good enough job. Mea culpa.

And God knows no "public health care" system would've given half as much a hoot about getting you there in the first place, at least not in anything approaching a timely manner. When you hear tales of Canadians being on a nine-month waiting list for a life-or-death operation, it makes you appreciate the whole "you get what you pay for" line of reasoning.
Cheers.

It's good to see that you think doctors do what they do for money. Hearing about insurance companies denying insurance & treatment makes me appreciate the "you have free health insurance, and if you're not happy with it you can go see a private doctor" policy we have in this joint. :rolleyes:

Re: So EB players and team members , where do you go to school or what is your degree
Im shocked that Landwalker knows so much about doctors in socialized healthcare countries to know they care nothing for people's health. I want to see where you heard about that nine-month waiting list, I'm sure its some form of anti-healthcare propaganda you've been exposed to. You should watch SICKO, it will make you sick.

Heh heh. Well we don't have a free for all health care system over here in the Netherlands (which doesn't mean hospitals won't take care of you when you need it -- they are obliged to, by law you see ~;)) I don't think most of the countries have that bad a health care if it's free. I mean: say what you will - the NHS is actually pretty good AFAIK.
(Oh and you know what? Your argument is typically applied in the reverse: the Public Doctors don't get paid as much - so they don't really have to go for the money. If they would, they'd set up their own private clinics...)

Politics, politics, health system, Moore propaganda...ah, there's the topic.
I'm in my first year of a simple BA majoring in Ancient History at Macquarie University, Australia (this is my second year, but first in a degree...note to high school kids: if you mess around, you end up spending far more money than you really should to just to get into a degree you may not even be happy with). Might spread into either teaching or museum studies at some point, I don't know yet.

A bit difficult - as with every Dutch Social legislation - anywho:
-People under age are insured through their parent's insurance (usually free, because usually the parents have their insurance through the company they work for, with special arangements etc. etc.);
-Everyone of age (18 or older) is obliged to have a sort of "minimum-insurance" usually students can get a special arangement through their Uni or whatever they attend (Currently some E 85,- a month) ;
-There is the "AWBZ" and similiar legislation which is a way of paying for special healthcare through taxes. Whenever you suddenly find yourself to have acquired some illness that needs extensive medicine to get you cured - you can call upon the AWBZ etc. to pay these costs either in full or for a very large part.
-Whenever you suddenly need to go to the OK the hospital is obliged to treat you even if you're not insured. This is payed for through aforementioned taxes.
So it's basically partially "Free healthcare" and partially insurance work. You can compare it with going to a Uni: you don't pay the Uni in full, but you do pay a fee every year to attend and you do pay for the books.

Don't worry. I'm just passing high school (well, upper secondary is probably the correct term), and am probably at least fifty years older than you.

Re: So EB players and team members , where do you go to school or what is your degree
I dropped out of high school in 10th grade. I am not at all ashamed about it, though when most people hear this they are shocked. I've pretty much taught myself everything I know that is relevant to what I do for a living (I own a graphic design company). ~:) I love learning, and I consider myself a very educated person, I just don't have any degrees.
I know most people envision a "high school dropout" as a complete loser, probably a drug addict, and someone who is most likely quite uneducated and ignorant. Well, that's not me, but no doubt the majority of dropouts are, so I can understand where the stereotype comes from. I'm just someone who likes to learn on my own, my way, on my schedule. School isn't the only place to learn, you know.. it actually is possible to teach yourself using things called books :) :book: The Internet can be valuable too, but it can be tough to sift through the garbage.. :dizzy2:
Everyone takes a different path in life.. some paths that work for one won't work for another. I can't say I'd recommend dropping out at 16 years old and attempting to start your own business... but it worked for me :)
There are four people in my family with an IQ over 160, and two are "high school dropouts". So, next time you hear "high school dropout", yeah, it's pretty likely the person is a loser, but maybe, just maybe, he might be a little more intelligent than you think :)

Re: So EB players and team members , where do you go to school or what is your degree
tellos one more question . About how much of your taxes goes toward the system?
-
Re: So EB players and team members , where do you go to school or what is your degree?
I have no idea. :grin: (Being a student, and not earning more than some 12K netto a year means I don't have to pay taxes save for the VAT at all (I don't own any real estate etc. etc. so no taxes there either) ~:))
Mind you there's the North Sea and the Stock Exchange too. (So the AWBZ doesn't have to be paid in full through taxes.) Anywho in 2003 the total cost of AWBZ which is only part of all Social Legislation was about E 20,300,000,- for a country of roughly 16 M people.
Btw. the AWBZ goes for everyone living or working in the Netherlands; because both mean you pay (some of) your taxes here.
