Investing Advice

Find a way to make a lump sum
Of 1,000,000 dollars.
Invest in stock that pays out 5% dividends;
Or buy CDs at 4% annual interest.

Other than that,
You go into 120,000 dollars of debt
To purchase a degree
In an industry that may or may not exist in ten years.
You get brainwashed by bad information
And radicalized.

Or, you go work for 15 dollars an hour
At some job, which never increases
And 10 years later your 15 dollars is worth 33%
Of what it was originally valued.

Or you go to trade school,
Learn a blue collar job--which is safe--
But for someone who has a physical disability
Or isn't the most coordinated
This may not be an option.
