I needed a degree in english, specializing in 19th century British literature, and about $60,000 in industry training to understand what insurance policies mean.

At the very least it's been great to have all the state/local laws broken down into plain english for me.

I remember I hated english in school and I still have no real interest in it today.

I say screw 'em.Plus I hate that their call center is outsourced to India and you cannot understand a dang word they say even thought it is "english".I encourage people to look at the American Express products.

On the flip side, having an English degree got me used to the idea of never making real money as an employee and pushed me into investing at a very young age.

I am getting set up with wholesaling, and wanted to get your opinions, as investors who are purchasing assigned contracts from other wholesalers.I have read that it is beneficial to closing the contract with the seller to have a very brief contract written in plain english as opposed to the longer official state contract (TREC contract in Texas).I have drafted a version of this wholesaling contract, it has two or three clauses that will protect me in case I need to get out.
