The SAME GW Bush who prided himself in having a "C" average when giving the commencement speech to the 300th graduating class at Yale?

Oh, what great heights we aspire to.

Surely that was meant to get a laugh. Bush was dumb as a rock, but he's not boasting about being a C student here. The joke merely lacks class.
Edit: Might as well answer OP's question.. (I think he's trying to ask what salary would be low enough to make me move back home.) I would leave what I have here if I could get 1.5X back home. Money goes farther here, I'm comfy, I'm old, and there's too much nonsense back home to deal with. As a foreigner, I'm exempted from most of the Korean nonsense as long as I do good by those around me. |

You've outdone my expectations! Congrats. |
Have you considered a career in rap?

Dolts? Out of the top 200 universities in the world, look at how many are American: |
They seem to have left out Cambridge and Oxford. I'm American, but reason dictates that is not representative of the top universities in the world |
Oxford tied for 2nd and Cambridge 7. World Traveler left those out. |
Non American universities were omitted from a list of American universities? 
Out of top 20, 15 are from the United States.
The United States has only 5% of the world's population yet 75% of the universities ranked in the top 20.
When you claim Americans are less intelligent than others (which is on par with racism), you're not coming across as enlightened and sophisticated (as you think), but rather as a damn fool. |

A lot seems to depend on who draws up the rankings.
That much is obvious from the huge differences between the different lists and their bias towards whichever country is in charge of compiling the list. |

| No matter who makes the list, the United States absolutely dominates the rankings year after year. Not something the America bashers like to hear, but it's true. |

The race theory, again...
So, when did Americans become a race, anyway? |
