As many as otherwise, I couldnt count the number of people Ive met who regretted college or their specific degree

Often it serves as nothing more than a passport to a job one could do without the degree; with no relevant studies, there's something wrong with expecting someone to invest tens of thousands of dollars and years of study just for prestige. Ive been around enough to know someone being a college graduate doesnt imply intelligence or a hard work ethic, all it implies is topic specific education (assuming that information is retained, it often is not), so requiring it for prestige alone is simply wasteful.

You can also learn on your own time, with tutors or in specific classes, for the sake of learning, trade or certification.

Im happy with the system as is, being voluntary and irrelevant to any field which interests me.
It would certainly be worth it and necessary for a practical science, the kind of work which requires it.

The jobs which needlessly require college are usually bullshit office type of work anyways, where perhaps the value of college is in expressed conformity lol

You insulted me, so you can expect the same, Id rather not trade insults.

I didnt recommend against college, for some fields its appropriate, for others not.
It was said earlier that college shows determination or character, I dont agree.

Of course youre not obligated to stick it out. Everybody has a personal journey blah blah, but if Im investing millions in research and development for a certain project and you dont pull your weight because you just dont "feel" it...Im firing you.



well, duh. i was talking more about school, not professional
employment.

it's such a surprise that everyone with a degree is giving their own personal seminar as to why you should be expected to have one too.

How many people in this thread, who have a degree, are giving advice not to go to college? Are you getting the point?

are you getting the point? how many people that don't have a degree are suggesting that getting a college degree is a breezy expectation that you should meet?

It all depends on what field you'll be getting a degree in.


Some people have good paying jobs because they have a degree in a field of high demand.


Some people don't have a job related to their field they have a degree in and are in debt they are struggling to pay off.


Some people never went to college and are financially successful

Some people who never went to college have shit jobs earning shit pay.




It could go either way. 

Quality of life also comes into play. 


My highest paying job was the job I hated the most. I would wake up every day not wanting to go in, regardless of how much I was making.


If you have a degree and you hate your job but you feel stuck working there because you spent years going to school for it. 


Fuck.

That.

With college, you get a piece of paper that is most likely worthless.




How many college grads do you know who say their degree is worthless?

I work in research and every professional in my field has a degree.

How many doctors do you know who did not go to med school?

I learned a lot in college. Some people would rather not learn.




I'm not saying that all college degrees are worthless.  Just the vast majority, and especially liberal arts degrees.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with going to college if you know why you are going and have a plan for after you graduate.  The problems arise when people just go to college because thats what they're supposed to do after high school and walk around in a daze, not even knowing what their major is for two years, and then just picking something without ever giving it the thought it requires.

It is very dangerous.

They are both teachers.



Around here teaching pays fairly well, but the job market is oversupplied so a lot of new graduates spend years in supply teacher hell.

Don't most teaching jobs require a Master's these days?

In Ontario you get a bachelor's degree in whatever you want, then go to teacher's college. I believe a master's degree helps put you in a higher pay category but isn't generally a requirement. My dad was a grade school teacher and later a principal.
