If You Have No Degree What's Stopping You From Going Back To School To Get One?

These dudes are defeatist. They've convinced themselves that getting a degree won't matter because they've been rejected by so many jobs that they're pessimistic. They've convinced themselves that its a white mans world and its nothing they can do about it and any black man that thinks a degree will lead to more money and more opportunity has to be an Uncle Tom or isn't really black. They threw in the towel, crabs in a fukking bucket to say the least.

Anytime i see bros shytting on college degrees its like because not only do i see it a lot on here, i also see it a lot in two other places i frequent. Same mentality. "Having a degree isn't going to help"

A black man with a college education can maneuver better than a black man without one. It doesn't mean he won't ever face roadblocks, but it does mean he generally won't have it as bad as the black man with no degree.

Bros discouraging others from getting a degree is ridiculous. Black men have it hard in general, but not having at least some type of post secondary education makes it even harder.


That's when some nikkas start trying to sound deep and shyt, "But education level can't truly be defined by a degree. There are very educated black men with no degree. Having a degree doesn't mean you're REALLY educated. You can be dumb with a degree and intelligent without one...blah blah blah"

You fare better statistically with some type of post secondary education under your belt. nikkas really think Trey with the college degree will have less options than Marcus with just a high school diploma?

College can also be used for networking. One of my teachers helped me get on at my first job after school.

I have known some bros who had a hard time finding work. They enrolled in college, and did work-study while they went. They got their education paid for and made some extra money on campus through a work-study job. Then when they finished, they had it on their resume that they graduated college and did work study while attending. That looks better on a resume than just, "graduated high school, worked at McDonald's"

I say this to say, black men need to not only graduate high school, but also get into post secondary school (whether it's a 4 yr school, CC or trade school) and graduate. We shouldn't feel like just having a high school diploma is enough. Not in this economy. You need as much education as you can get.

I never ran across a person that loved hip hop and hated black people. Have you?

Yes. Every black person has. Black people have been used for the entertainment of whites since slavery. Your messaging on education is correct but you seem to have a lack of understanding (experience?) of the black reality within the U.S.

Nah breh, most racists are older or rural whites that was raised to be that way. I refuse to believe that a cac that grew up on Pac or Nas and go to Wu Tang shows could also despise black people. I'm not talking about older whites that exploited black culture, I'm talking about cacs that can recite every line off The Carter. You're more likely to be discriminated by a Larry Elder c00n type before you would a white guy that breathed hip hop growing up. Not talking about Eminem fans either.

You don't have to "hate" blacks to be racist

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

You don't have to "hate" blacks to be racist

Well we have 2 different definitions of racist. I think most whites that love hip hop and grew up on it wish that they were black. I remember when 50 first hit the scene, you couldn't tell me those white boys rocking G-Unit hoodies didn't want to be black. They're more likely to give a black man a job than an Armstrong Williams would. I'd much rather have a white that grew up on hip hop and can recite every Rakim line like Max Kellerman can interviewing me for a job than I would a c00n like Armstrong Williams.

Encouraging black men to become more educated is being a "c00n" now??

Some of you are still on that "education is nothing but the white man's tool!!!" shyt. Take advantage of what these schools offer you. Some black men are, but there are still a lot who don't, because they think it won't make any difference. If you can go to school for free, or for an affordable cost, do it. We all know this society is hard on black men but it will be even harder on you if you only have a high school diploma. Like i said, unless you come from a wealthy family or something, you need to have some sort of post secondary education.

Black men without degrees generally earn less than black men with degrees. Also, unemployment affects black men without degrees more than it affects black men with them. In other words, there are more unemployed (and under-employed) black men without degrees than black men with them.

Yes there are some exceptions, but we are speaking in general terms.

The economy isn't that bad. Everyone I know that doesn't have a felony that wants to work got a job. I even know a few felons that got some. The economy is booming.

The economy is about to crash worse than 2008 in the very near future, but the economy isnt bad at the very best, its just the housing market that crashes in California (which it will in the next year or two). But its about the crash because all the projected start ups that got millions invested into them, didnt end up doing shyt, but raised the housing market pricing up, but now they are moving back to Portland or Montana and shyt leaving the bay with a lot of vacant expensive houses the fukk this kid talking about ?

this kid lives with his parents in rich ass pleasanton, he probably never even had a real job in his life

he says he owns his own business - just ask him what it is he does, he wont respond, because the business doesnt exsist (im on ignore)

Like I said before, I never ran across a homeless person with a degree. Ran across plenty with just a high school diploma tho. That degree will get you a job somewhere......even if you gotta leave your state. There's a reason why even rich cats like Birdman, Jeezy and Jermaine Dupri are sending their kids to college. If education didn't matter they wouldn't waste the money right?

I am cautiously pro education but will make two points..

1). Those averages are misleading
Tony dorsettt is a hall of fame running back.,,
Drafted by cowboys out of u pittsburgh
The school included his NFL money in their average alumni earnings until called out on it
Beware
Schools have a self interest to protect and are not neutral

2) timing
First,, we are less malleable as we age
I've seen smart people struggle with school when they return mid 30's
Second,, recouping opportunity cost
Projected remaining years in workforce and steeper immediate sacrifice
