I imagine most people don't learn the hard sciences because it takes years of school and is a very costly investment that may not pay off. To your 2nd point, why does cost need rigor? Why is paying to learn something you like and want to do a thing you look down on? You might worship math and science a little too much. They are important and I think required learning material but its not the end all be all, you can also use those to enhance your non math and science related interests.
I guess what I'm saying is that you're coming off as one of those socialist types that believe that all jons shoild pay a ""ling wage
" and that and that essentially there shouldn't be a huge difference in pay.

i.e. I used to date the sister of a lady who really wanted to be a tour dancer for Janet Jackson she settled on being a radiologist. I guess she didn't "follow her heart" but I'm glad she didn't she works at Sloan Kettering.

:manny: The coli told me you don't need college why is this an issue to discuss?

Trades, certs, coding, google is all men need...

Plus more women selling ass/sex just buy it if your that desperate.
Black men always need college degrees and even then, that's not enough. But yeah, everything is in skills nowadays for Black men. We go to school to be economist is how you waste your time.

Right now, they need truck drivers but it takes a special type of nikka to do that. A nikka that's good with driving big shyt. My uncle almost did it and it would have made him a lot of money.

Coding but you gotta get your foot in the door.

Skills is everything in 2021

Okay, what if she would've had a more fulfilling life as a dancer? You think Sloan Kettering is better, not because of the work she does but because of the money she makes. And I never understand why you guys think school gives you your forever job, you can learn different things and have multiple passions.

Society is better off with her being a radiologist. Let's say she did make Janet's dance team Janet is retired now. And this chik is in her late 40's.I think both she and the country is better off in general.

Everything needs to be balanced. You're typing on a phone, computer or tablet designed and produced by someone. I'm pretty sure they also rather have some artsy fartsy job with plenty of time off to "find themselves" and get that degree in underwater basket weaving that is their current passion. Someone has to take the nose to the grindstone jobs and because those jobs are "hard" and indemand they become essentially "forever jobs" Just like that tenured underwater basketweaving Professor that drives up the cost for school.

This concept is extremely hard to understand to many people.

A college stats class could fix that really quickly. :sas2:

Right! Nassim Taleb recently shyt on renowned writer/Ivy league professor Adam Grant for Grant's shoddy use of stats, and so I would safely presume the understanding of stat's is even worse amongst the general public. Not understanding how probability works is generally a handicap, and that will ring even more true as the world becomes more complex.

If men ain't going to college that don't necessarily mean it's bad. Maybe men understand more than the debt ain't worth it. Could be going into tradeschool where you 23 yes old making $50/hr.

And there's a lot of incel talking points about educated women going only for top tier men. Dudes that complain are just weak, that's all it boils down to. Even Walmart nikkas getting p*ssy from bad bytches with jobs. If you make $55k you're basically matched with 96% of women. Not everybody graduating college making $125,000

Yeah cause they're select or attractive. Less attractive men need more money to compensate.

You're right it's beyond flawed and that was even before Nassim made it popular but it's still the cornerstone of a lot of statistics probability ask Nate silver, :russ:.

To be honest, as well it's still all over the place in finance as well.

They will never go away from this system but I wish

I remember before online learning was frowned upon people would laugh at university of Phoenix etc

suddenly covid hit and prestige universities have all their classes online

as I said before I learned more from some random dude in India on YouTube about machine learning than I did from a professor at a top university that My work paid thousands for
