Your dream has finally come true. You’ve made it into a private college, you’re paying upwards of $50,000 per year for your education, and you’ve just met the man of your dreams- a wealthy and intelligent man, who you plan to marry upon graduation. Congratulations, you have just been awarded your very own ‘MRS‘ degree… and will never have to work again!
Possible holders of an MRS degree (pronounced EM-AR-ES) are women who attend college just to meet potential husbands with high social standing and future earning potential.
I was told this is the new thing......

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

My mom made a comment to me once while I was in college about graduating, finding a husband, and settling down. I looked at her squarely and asked her flat out, "You're seriously paying $22K+/year for me to find a husband? You don't really believe that I'm trying to make a career of my own and support myself? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." (I was a little meaner back then, I think I apologized at some point, and started keeping my liberal notions to myself so as to not upset my Republican mother's sensibilities!). Absolutely no one I knew that I went to school with was there specifically to find a spouse - they were there because they wanted a better job/better life and were going to get it for themselves.
Or maybe I just didn't hang out with those who didn't mind taking on a risk such as finding someone who would float you and hope they never changed their minds...I did tend to regard sorority girls and frat boys as sub-species! :jk2:
