For ugly girls, as an investment, plastic surgery offers better return than an advanced degree.
It's fucked up, but I imagine you're right...
Really think about it; with 30-50k of plastic surgery and some gym time, a girl can go from ugly, to decent enough to attract a man of some means, and also probably even earn herself more money (I've noticed in the past that hot girls, no matter how smart or well-qualified they are, almost never seem to have trouble finding decent jobs in the so-called 'recession', I wonder why that is?)
What does an advanced degree run these days, maybe 200k from an Ivy-league school? And what does that get these girls? If they pick a useful degree, 90% of them become professors, a job which pays probably 80-120k...but then she needs to pay off her student loans, and she needs a car, and she needs a house, and she needs a man (no matter what they say), but of course, she wasted her prime years getting the degree in the first place, and so assuming she finished at age 26, that leaves in her mind 4 years (in reality 1-2 years) to snatch the type of man she wants.
But wait! She has a Doctorate from an Ivy League school! There's no way she wants to marry a teacher, a programmer or even (gasp!) a tradesman! She's going after the big dogs; CEOs, doctors, lawyers etc etc., totally oblivious to the fact that these guys, if they haven't yet been snapped up, are waylaying through girls younger and hotter than she is (and also that these jobs are very much all-consuming jobs; a doctor, lawyer or CEO's woman will rarely be the #1 thing in his life), so she gets old, gets bitter, gets a few cats, and finally at age 40, single, no kids and her debt paid off, she's still miserable. She should have got plastic surgery...I've said it before and I'll say it again; women who get advanced degrees don't want to work; they get they because they have zero understanding of their own natures, thinking that because they find men with high status attractive, that men with high status will find them attractive. They'll never outright admit it (since it goes against the Feminist imperative), but the life path of 99% of women is as follows:
17-22) Go to university, get any degree (Bachelors, Masters, Doctorate)
22-23) Get a decent-paying but easy job right out.
23-28) 'Have my fun!' (
Translation: Drink myself stupid on weekends and fuck)
28-30) 'Get serious about relationships' (
Translation: 'Oh fuck...I'm 28, I've been in one long term relationship in my life and I have no marriage prospects! Time to buckle down!')
30-34) Get married and have kids, drop out of the work force to raise them.
We're seeing the devastating effects that encouraging this has had on society as we speak.
On a related note; I think affordable and readily available plastic surgery is going to be big in in the near future.
