damn so much struggle. why would you even assume that i was worried about my bank account friend? and i see you changed your name, probably to stop from being negged and owned every time you post, still got damn near 40,000 posts on this board though with your furious-typing ass.
You don't see me running in threads dripping with anger. I'm the happiest poster on this board, can you say the same? :sas1:

dude really thinks i'm angry bc i call him a fakkit? breh, no one on here has that kind of power over me. you seem to be kind of slow judging by your responses so i'll leave you alone.
You think I'm a fakkit and I think you're angry at strangers because you're broke and p*ssy evades you. We can either ignore one another or get past what we think of one another. Either way please don't bring the hate to a positive thread. Thanks.

As someone WITH a degree I would easily tell someone to get a good TRADE instead.

Have a job field with a higher demand, make more money, and have less debt!
Trades only make sense if you love that career. Most go to college to do something they love imo.

Doesn't matter if its an Associates Degree or a Masters Degree, if you have one your life will be better than just having a High School diploma. If you don't have any type of degree what's stopping you from going back to school to get one?

There are many careers that do not require a degree at all. Why waste time and money for that?

Bold is bullshyt sadly.
Most people go to college because they are expected to after high school. The majority of people in college are not preparing themselves properly for the workforce, or are getting bullshyt degrees that wont aid them.

Go ask high school juniors (usually when the college game gets serious), and they'll all tell you where they want to go, but many will have no idea what career they want.

This is asinine.

For example:

A Ghanaian friend of mine that went to Vanderbilt with me is now a missionary and works at a non-profit donating for the poor.

He's a great guy, but his degree in Mech Engineering has absolutely nothing to do with what he's doing now.

During the time we went to Vandy, An engineering degree cost $208,000 (probably more now). If he never used that, he wasted his time and money.

I'm willing to capitulate on most going to do what they love. When I was in college I'd say at least half the people there knew what they wanted to do after college. The other half that I knew was just there to be there so I'll give you that.

In regards to the careers that don't require a degree I don't see it that way. I think you're setting yourself up for a harder life without a degree. I got scholarships so I didn't have to pay for college so I can't relate to having to get in debt and shyt to fund it. I was actually paid to go to school via financial aid.

I hear you, and I agree that life is easier with at least your Bachelors.

I just feel that there are far too many people getting in far too much debt without a clear and concise plan on what they want to do. There is no age limit to college. As long as you can swallow your ego, you can get a degree whenever. Just make sure its something that will benefit you.

I have a brother who got into Harvard (didn't go, Ivy's dont give financial aid). Ended up going to Vandy. Smartest member of the family, he is truly brilliant. He was two WORTHLESS masters degrees in History and Italian. He's not even a professor (which is the only reason to get either degree). He's currently in school to get his MBA.

If he had a decent gameplan, with all of his brilliance, he could be a CFO by now.

This is why i'm so passionate about this subject. Don't waste your time and money, unless you have a plan.

Damn, sounds like bruh followed his passion instead of the paper. I almost did the same thing. When I first got to school I loved history, took hella history classes (mostly AFRAM history) but I quickly realized that being a history major wasn't going to make me any money so I got into Marketing/Management.

I just look at it this way, I haven't met many people with a degree that was homeless. I'm sure there's plenty of them in the world but I just haven't met any. Jobs come and go but that degree is a great key to have to get you in doors when jobs are over.

I was terrible in college because all I wanted to do was smoke, drink, fukk on bytches, and play video games until 3. Thank God the military beat the love for achievement back into me, and I'm taking classes right now. I'll be going back full time after my enlistment is up.
