Being Citybroke is about perspective. It’s about seeing glitter in the gutter and a sense of humor when life is giving you everything you don’t exactly want and you’re hanging on for a dream that you sometimes can’t remember.
It’s not sales or survival - it’s an electronic letter from the trenches. It’s what suits who make $60K in at age 24 can’t even imagine. It’s Freedom. It’s Poverty. It’s Broken. It’s Beautiful.

College Majors That Will (Probably Not) Get You Rich

Don't deny it--you totally picked your college major based on how much money you'll make after graduation. Well, if you don't want to take any risks choosing a poor man's degree, check out Forbes.com's piece on the Most Lucrative College Majors. #1? Computer Engineering. These nerdy kids are expected to make$60,500 after 0 to 5 years. Business management majors are expected to bring in $40,900 after 0 to 5 years (less than history majors, who I assumed where by nature always broke). So, basically I could make just as much as a business major by waiting tables, stripping or...majoring in creative writing.

Take that!
