And no, Shroomism, you don't have to have debt. If you go to a four year university and work a shit job, you probably do, but that's your choice. I subject myself to cold-call sales to pay my way, incidentally it also will make me much more successful at starting a business if I ever decide to.
As for stupid profs, sure there are a lot of them, but there are also websites like pickaprof and ratemyprofessor that can help you find the good ones. They usually have a lower rating b/c lazy shithead kids don't like ones who want you to think critically.
I do understand the notion that they brainwash you though. They're always trying to force skeptical, critical thinking on me, but life is so much cooler believing in crystals and drug entities. Damn them

Fair enough then, clearly college isn't for you. I love science and I'm that fucker who never studies and has a 4.0 as well as no debt, so my view is much different.
I suppose for the dummies getting marketing, psychology and communications degrees, arguing against evolution to their Bio 101 profs, you're totally right. Of course, they might also make lifelong friends, meet a spouse or have some insightful idea that changes their life, but none of that is guaranteed to happen or end up well.
exactly my point. people are paying ridiculous amounts because they think they're getting some kind of guarantee. college definitely is what you make of it, i just can't make anything useful lol. "these hands weren't meant to create! they can only destroy."
I would say, then, that the people who think they're getting a guarantee are ignorant, not that the colleges are bullshit.
I don't mean to be blindly defending colleges either, they're obviously susceptible to hiring shitty profs, passing fools for their athletic prowess and whatnot. It's doubtless that in the near future corporations will largely influence what is taught as well.
Our education system needs a drastic overhaul and not the one that will likely play out - College becoming a luxury of the affluent, trade schools becoming the norm for everyone else.

That's what happens when you subsidize something. Every time.

The people who made this video are the same people who own the National Inflation Association. These same people were invovled in pump and dump penny stock scams, getting people to drive prices up on penny stocks and then selling them for their own profit at the cost of their subscribers.
