College is a luxury good

College is a luxury bad
@Cosmic
Colleague is 3 different things for 3 groups of people
1) Academics.
Academics don't care either about money nor about utility of the degree. They want to "do research", and usually come from families rich enough, not to understand the concept of money. They don't care about the price, so it's a necessity for their future plans of being useless.
2) Perpetual students
People who didn't have the talk with their father, and have no idea what they want to do. They will need the work, and the debt will only hurt them, but they are too dumb to see, that they're being sucked dry.
3) Actually employable people
Good fucking luck mining any utility out of most degrees. The academics and perpetual students don't understand why a programmer degree should actually have some programming classes, when that time could be spend on philosophy, or even ecology class. At least it increases a chance of you getting hired slightly, but you HAVE TO make your own program, and the day you're hired, focus 100 percent just on the job. The classes are worthless at that point.
I am happy with my college choices, having three degrees … there are many people whose choices I laugh at.
You can laugh at me if you wish.
Wouldn’t trade places, unless you are warren buffet’s son
@Cosmic
Btw, I was just talking about the fact, that people who go to uni to improve their chances at a good employment get a truly shitty deal.
Do you agree on that point?
Good deals financially:
- Engineering programs
- Computer Science
- Accounting
- The MBA (NOT the BBA), only if a low cost, credible program, or you were born an elite to benefit from Ivy League
All other degrees are luxury goods
@Cosmic
How is computer science degree a good deal, when 2/3 of the classes are unrelated shit?
This nigga rides the bus to his shitty sysop job where no one knows his name and he's giving you financial advice.
I am not licensed to give financial advice
I can give spiritual advice, as a reverend of the Universal Life Church.
Your eyes lie
Let me guess, Gender Studies and Queer Studies?
Haven’t ridden the bus in ages
I can see, again with my eyes, from the very first post on your profile, that this is a lie.
Yes go cheap, but don’t waste time on useless shit, choose something useful like engineering or accounting.
I would sooner rip a man's trachea out with my bare hands than tell him to go into Computer Science.
@Cosmic
And yes, you guessed it.
It was my university that was at least 60 percent of why I am so radical today
