This is how you get the easy sex, in their apartments.
Honestly too many kids look down on jc because they weren’t aware of the costs
My parents knew it and drilled it into me
So i did
My bro went to uni from under grad to bs, and ended up in 60k debt thank goodness for fafsa, grants, and scholarships
I tell any kid I know that’s about to go to school to go to community college to get all their core classes done. I keep telling my little brother to do it, but, I dunno if he’ll listen. He will if my parents ain’t kickin’ out the money for Rutgers right away.
Anyone pretty much wanting to go into medicine (in the US) pretty needs a B.S in biology.
IMO that’s 90% of the reason why people would even get one.
You all make fun of Florida all the time, but thankfully I was able to get full tuition paid at a 4 yr public university and money for books each semester.
Now b/c of the economy , less and less people are getting that scholarship, so I’m grateful I dont have undergrad and med school debt lol
Meh kids have visions of leaving home
You have to grind it into their heads that shit is expensive and life is full of debt, and it is easier to have less debt
In most places it isn’t where you went to school or your gpa, it is that you are satisfied and killed it in the interview
Everyone who says higher education is a waste of money and that you can make just as much without a degree is looking through rose colored glasses.
Do you know how lucky and perpendicular to a college educated career path you have you travel to actually be just as successful as someone with say a journalism degree from Columbia that works at CNN?
Yeah you can make good money answering phone calls and shoveling mounds of paperwork but thats not necessarily the same as fulfilling yourself through the work you do since receiving credentials from an institution.
Why do I have a feeling you’re a part of the working poor?
As opposed to the guy who doesn’t have a degree and does your job who probably makes 13 dollars an hour. It can be that drastic.
I honestly don’t know. Maybe you’re just really bad at guessing games?
The guy without a degree could also be making $35 an hour operating a crane.
Education to get a higher payibg job works.
People have to do what works for them
I’d like to see your income because anyone can claim to be hot shit on the internet.
That guy making 35$ Operating a crane still isn’t making it big, plus he’s contracted so most likely his work is seasonal.
I could claim any income I feel like, and I’ve never claimed to be ‘hot shit’.
I’m self-employed and earn as much as I need to.
But that’s beside the point, this thread is not about me, so it would be irrelevant anyway.
If you have a point, make it, but if you think that having a degree guarantees significantly higher earnings for any particular person than a diploma or trade certification, then I’m afraid you’re simply wrong.
I’m pretty sure that there is higher employee retention for those with degrees than those without…
Money isn’t always the issue the biggest of issues… if you’re young, that type of instability is fine but when it comes to having children and a family and things?
Stability might be in your best interest then…
The real value of education, is not in memorizing facts or some intangible promise of wealth, but in its expansion of awareness, a growth of character that comes from having even the feeblest grasp on the vastness of your ignorance.
Knowledge enriches the soul, it is a shame it is not affordable.
Also, you shouldn’t take any website article which is so obviously designed to get hits too seriously.
So far I have the majority of my core classes completed. All I need is math and a lab course and I’m set.
I did want to go to an university to experience the “college life”, but then dealing with things such as rooming with a stranger, getting sexiled from my own room, dealing with another person’s habits and having my privacy invaded, and the awkwardness of leaving away from home, it seemed like a mess. Plus, the art school I thought about going to was super-expensive and very pretentious as far as I’ve heard. Then again, apparently some art majors are pretentious and snooty while some are very nice people.
Hahaha! I totally misread that at first glance as, “All I need is a meth lab course and I’m all set.”

How the fuck can you not get my point? You claim education is overrated and value a college degree to just reading books. It clearly shows you have no value in a college degree which most likely influences your income. You come back and say you’re self employed and make as much as you need to, THAT’S GREAT FOR YOU IF YOU’RE MEETING YOUR NEEDS. Most people can make their needs, but the true value of education and success is the ability to do what you WANT (at least by most people standards).
The point is clearly being you don’t have an education and you’re ignorant as hell about the value it has. If you do have an education have no idea how the world works and are a complete asshat trying to act cool online.
