This has been bugging me for a while, but, I think we can all agree that college is a ploy to get dumb poor teenagers to take large loans from banks right? Why is it that the American education system pushes it so hard? Are schools receiving funding from these banks or what?
I don't really know much about college because I was fortunate to land a good job right out of highschool.
clearly you don't know anything because they're government backed loans not private loans
jesus christ you are so incredibly stupid how do I share a board with idiots like you
If you are smart you get scholarships
If you are of a wealthy family you get an expensive paper saying you are smart/wealthy
If you are neither you get massive debt
>not going to community college for 200$ a semester to meet cuties and get a specialization that pays 50-80$ an hour after 2 years
THERES A REASON WHY I ASKED BECAUSE UR RIGHT I DONT KNOW
The entire reason the University bubble exists in the first place is because the government funds it.
You should know this.

The only choices in life are being either a capitalist or a neet.
Being an employee is a life sentence to mediocrity and suffering. The entire system will fuck you over at every step of your life, you'll sell your most precious resource, your time, for a pittance... that doesn't go up due to compound interest. You pay all the taxes, and exchange 5 days of suffering for 2 days of relief... assuming your boss (another wageslave) doesn't need you on the weekend. College is nothing but a piece of paper that makes you a certified goodgoy and gives you a marginal improvement in money you make every year (if you're lucky, many times it's totally worthless) in exchange for an easy loan of up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you'd only invest that money in even an index fund or a prepared real estate portfolio and you'd be monstrously better off... sure it's a lot more work to get this money loaned to you but it's worth it (why do you think the government makes it so easy to get these loans?).
Even "prestigious" wageslave careers like doctors, lawyers, CEOs are doomed to suffer, many times they exchange an even larger portion of their short lives to living better on the weekends or vacations (if they even take them off).
However, the truth is that the average person is bombarded with tonnes of propaganda to remain in the employee class. Usually by fooling the people that becoming a capitalist is simply by "the luck of the draw" and don't bother trying to become one, because obviously it's impossible. It's HIGHLY likely that most people reading this post think the same. Truth is we need at least 80% of people to be wageslaves to keep this system going.

A neet, has its problems but at least they don't pay taxes (neither do capitalists for the most part) and don't crush their bodies, minds and souls working as an employee. To become a capitalist, it is about 10 years of learning/working hard and that's it... if you can live frugally, you can set up passive cashflow so you never have to work a day in your life (outside of a few hours a month making sure the mice don't play when the cats are away) and can just enjoy life.
Sadly I've tried mentoring most people, and it's a waste of time. I bet most people in this thread are going to pretend that me, alongside every self-made capitalist were secretly born with the money (learned helplessness) and that it's a waste of time to even bother... born into wageslavery... you are damned to die in it... and they'll lash out at me in anger.
The propaganda is very, very, VERY powerful.
Is that the bushranger suit? Are you a fucking Australian? You have to be, with shitposts like this. Listen, American student loans are government-backed. The only colleges where you'd even need to consider private loans unless you're retarded are those Diploma Mills they advertise on TV, and if you're going to one of those you're already retarded enough to get a private loan anyway.
So what you're saying here is I should buy some ATMs and charge places to use them.
What is the good job you landed out of high school? Is it a career job or a dead end?
If you have a network, you can probably forgo college, but it's not a risk I would take personally.
I mean it's a start but you have to be careful that if you're self-employed, it can be even WORSE than than being a wageslave, as far as hours of your life you give up and CRIPPLING taxes you pay. You have no choice but to devour books if you're going to make it... they don't teach being a capitalist in schools/colleges so if your parents didn't teach you... you have to dedicate time to learning.
I'd give you a laundry list of books to read, but there's thousands of youtube videos with great recommendations, make sure to pirate as many as possible, and figure your goal should be to read something like 40 to 50 books to really get an understanding. Don't worry, once you start learning about concepts it'll lead you down a rabbithole of topics. This is your real degree to life, invest time in it.
If you would be willing to exchange info, I would definitely love a mentor.
government backed but issued by a private bank stoopid. it's a fucking scam.
neet means not in education, employment or training

You're right but that's actually where the "scam" comes in. Since the loans are government backed theres no ability to default on the loan recipient's end. The college and banks are both guaranteed every last cent from the government and the loan recepient will eventually have to repay it all no matter what. Well, unless they die or become government workers or something. So, since the college knows every student admitted on a loan is 100% guaranteed money, they will continue to raise tuition costs. Banks in turn will continue to sign off on larger and larger loans as time passes because they know that in addition to interest payments, they're also getting their money back through government subsidies either way. The banks and colleges need not actually talk or conspire with one another. The actual problem is on families not seeing whats happening here before they allow their kid to sign their soul away and on the government for allowing this to happen with taxpayer money. If they dropped the government backed loans, or better yet restructured which schools they were applicable for, admissions costs would drop and a number of problems related to higher education could be fixed.
>what skills do I have to learn?
At the risk of sounding like an asshole. Capitalist skills...
The "eye for money" being the most important, you may have this naturally, but the propaganda to be a wageslave has made you blind. Basically it's a great bullshit detector, the ability to see opportunity and possible disaster and the ability to see someone who has the "heart" to do what you need for isn't capable no matter how much passion he or she has.
Then just general skills like responsibility, delayed gratification, a lust for knowledge, etc... honestly a lot of people who are naturally "great with money" are just too milquetoast to be capitalists and people who sucked with money learned the truth and when applying capitalist mentality fixed their personal finances.
But you need to learn, I don't think skill is that important, not everyone who becomes a capitalist can become a billionaire... but, unless you're legitimately retarded, you can be rich... it's a fucking redpill that changes how you see life.
