That's list is wrong and so are you

Most of those They those came from wealth. Not only that, gates and Zuckerberg both were accepted to elite colleges

I'm telling you, the powers that be fukked up higher education and put people in permanent debt. Its a form of controlling people and restricting them of any legal, innovative way to make a living wage.

Yo listen to this guy he knows how the game is played. my credit and wallet are messed up because of this. going to college was the worst choice i ever made . I'm 38,000 in debit. with a art degree i can't use

"But bu but you should have majored in IT or in Accounting and you always have a job"

But I know plenty of people who have certs that have no job or work part time. We live in the age of automation where a computer can out do any job that a human can do.

DO THEY HAVE DEGREES?

I CAN'T CHECK COLLEGE EDUCATED BECAUSE I HAVEN'T FINISHED YET.

NONE OF WHAT YOU SAID MAKES MY STATEMENT WRONG. A GOOD CHUNK OF PEOPLE GO TO COLLEGE AND DROP OUT? ARE THEY COLLEGE EDUCATED? NO.

When i tell people i didnt go to college they act as if its the worst thing ever, even though some of the worlds richest people never completed college

The whole college elitism in the US is fukked up. The previous generation (people who are 50+ now) went through an era where going to college was this sort of mystical thing that you didn't have to do, but it was pretty cool. Finishing highschool and getting to work was expected, and it was ok. You could make a good wage, fukk your girlfriend, have kids at 21/22, and it was normal. Now, the people in that generation are retiring and looking their life. They see that 10-15 of their homies went to college and 5-8 of them did well. This 50% rate of success translated into "if you go to college you automatically get 6 figures."

THAT bullshyt then morphed into "it doesn't matter what you go for, the degree is all you need." Meanwhile, these stupid mother fukkers don't realise that the tuition when they were college age was like 3-5g a year and it was affordable. So they are pushing "us" into the mindset that not going to college is personal and professional failure. So here "we" are at age 17-18 trying to decide how to mortgage our fukking future because, by the way, that older generation can't afford college so we have to take loans that literally rival the house mortgage they took 25 years ago.

Remember that whole "just get a degree" thing? Now "we" have learned that only specific degrees get you that good money, and those degrees are *gasp* actually difficult and require significant time and effort to achieve grades good enough to get that "six figure job" (which actually is about 40-50k starting). But half or more of "us" didn't know that because we had no fukking guidance and we took majors and got degrees that leave us with no usable skills and bullshyt marketability.

And here we are today, wondering what the fukk happened.

sidenote: I went to college and got one of the "right" degrees by chance, but have been watching many classmates who had no guidance and empty promises flounder in the debt and job market

Best post in this thread. College is now useless, even for the majority of the "good" degrees.

Thanks, and thanks for the rep.

 

[Vodun]

a lot of useful knowlege being dropped here. only go to college if your current job or somebody you know really well can put you on to a good paying job

I don't even think it's useless. I just don't think a highschool graduate is ready to make the decisions to give themself a fighting chance. They either get lucky and fall on the right major, have great guidance from their parents and mentors, or they make random decisions and hope they can course correct later (which is usually expensive and still risky). Society went so 4-year college crazy that nikkas forgot about shyt like tech school and junior college. Somehow going to community college is a bad thing, and going to tech school is a sign of giving up.

What the fukk is wrong with people.

Yeah, and people assume that post 2008, they can live in the same standard of living as someone from the 70s with the same level of education. That shyt is indoctrination and doesn't promote any form of financial independence.
