 I'm a student now, but I'll be comfortably middle class with secure employment and great benefits throughout my working life.

You should post this in the prophecy thread.

I agree.  If your future employment is based on working for the State of Illinois I'll believe you'll be surprised at somepoint during that career that it won't work out exactly as you planned.  Your attitude reminds me of junior pilots in the 90s even though their skirmishes had already started.   We're seeing the start of the state budget skirmishes and its only going to grow.

I'll be in higher ed. Public schools may be a little riskier, but most of them have been steadily losing state funding over the last two decades and have developed other means of raising funds.

Thanks for the lesson, Sensei.

I wasn't focused on you finding a job.  I was focused on your statement of "comfortably middle class".  I was assuming you are in Illinois and staying in Illinois.  Looking at Illinois' budget factually there is no way to support the benefits promised to current employees in 20 years absent some black swan event.  If your are not expecting to stay in Illinois I think you may be just fine.  I find your arrogance of what your future holds funny.
