Most people go to college for clout?

[Creampiekarl420]

why are they so smug like dude you went thousands of dollars into debt for a communication degree instead of learning high income skills in the real world it’s like a JD power award they do it just to say they did it

I agree

I disagree

I don’t expect most women to agree because it most women who get these worthless degrees then cry about a wage gap

[MuddyMole]

Nope, I don't think that's even slightly true.
A few know what they want to do with their lives, and know the qualifications they need to make it happen. Most go for the lifestyle. 3 years of partying with other like-minded young people is a lot more appealing to an 18 year old than the drudgery of a 9-5.

The reality is that the vast majority of those who don't go to university, do NOT spend the three years gaining valuable real world skills that allow them to become entrepreneurs, or doing anything worthwhile - they spend it stacking shelves in a supermarket (and many never do anything much more with their lives). It might be something they later wished they had done, but at the time, very few 18 year olds would have had the maturity and confidence.

[Creampiekarl420]

Thats exactly what broke ass college kids do stock shelves because they didn’t learn any high income skills in college and move back in with their parents

[NathanDavis]

don't know... but I like my doctors college graduated

[Creampiekarl420]

“Nobody want number 2 doctor”- every Asian parent lmaoo

[WonderBell99]

@creampiekarl420 Nah, it's: "It's ok, go rub some vicks vaporub and you'll be good" or if you go and say you're depressed, they be like: "Then don't be depressed!! Now go and study"

[Creampiekarl420]

@WonderBell99 lmaoo Exactly 😂😂😂

[WonderBell99]

Ah, good ol' memories, lol

[Creampiekarl420]

@WonderBell99 good for who 😂

[WonderBell99]

Certainly not for me, that's for sure hahaha
But even among my friends, the depression one and the vicks one are too relatable lol

[Creampiekarl420]

@WonderBell99 trust me I know

[WonderBell99]

University gives you real-life skills, in the UK at least most courses will make you do placements with employers, you also do not start paying back your university fees until you earn 27,000£ a year. People go to university so they can study what they enjoy and expand their knowledge but mostly, so we can guarantee a stable life. Get over it.

[Creampiekarl420]

Most people go to college do it for money and obviously you don’t earn real life skills because that’s high schooler yearly income 😂 people with real skills don’t have such a low capital

[DeadlyCreed]

I disagree to an extent, not all skills have to be useful to be good. For example: Learning Greek is a perfectly good skill even though it’s not that useful. A liberal arts degree is also good even though it won’t necessarily give you a high income job. So a communications degree is a good degree to have even though it’s not necessarily useful. On the other hand, maybe he should’ve gotten some money from a degree first, and then gotten a communications degree, and maybe y’know be a little financially intelligent.

[Creampiekarl420]

What you’re saying only makes sense if college is cheap and quick it’s not just a waste of money it’s a waste of time yet people broker than me try to flex going to college

[DeadlyCreed]

That’s what I said

[ManHater]

Huh? I said fuck that and got on the pipeline. Made my first 6 figures, long hours but it was good.

[Creampiekarl420]

Right I graduated and went out to see as a deckhand I made 15k a month for 8 months and bought a house when I finished fuck college I was living comfortably at 20

[ManHater]

Well, you know what it's like to make a logical choice. School's promise you everything a well paying job for your money. However it's not for everyone.

[Creampiekarl420]

Thats what my guidance counselor told me she said college isn’t for everyone they’re just supposed to push kids to go because it makes the school look better

[jennifer_bloom]

I went to school for the social inclusivity and recognition of having a degree, not for the income boost, I have ways to make money without a degree such as comedic routines or art and music creation or pastor etc…

[Creampiekarl420]

And You couldn’t have found a cheaper way to do that? Go to a park brings some snacks and make small talk

[jennifer_bloom]

At the time I wanted to get a PhD but then learned you have to do research in third world countries to graduate as well as having to learn 4 new languages fluently as a full grown adult and than continue to visit foreign countries through your entire career.

[Creampiekarl420]

So you just weren’t committed

[jennifer_bloom]

I’m primarily committed to my own happiness and purpose more than I am to a trade not compatible with my desire or skill sets.

[jimmy2]

No that not true

[Anonymous]

Not true.

[Creampiekarl420]

Elaborate gyne-stein

[Opinion Owner]

What is gyne-stein?

[Creampiekarl420]

Well I was calling you a genius sarcastically because I don’t think you’re very intelligent and because you’re a woman instead of calling you Einstein I said gyne which is Greek for woman

[Creampiekarl420]

Hilarious right? But seriously elaborate

[Opinion Owner]

I'm twice as smart as you, and you are dumb enough to think I want to talk to you. You have zero social skills, and you probably don't even know that. Good luck with your question.

[Creampiekarl420]

That wasn’t very nice
