Da scam of da century

College not worth it many times?
You either get some fluff major and gain no applicable skill or you major in something hard and the only reward is a stressful job assuming no underemployment.

Some anecdotes.. my sibling majored in env science. Had to take hard classes such as organic chemistry. Underemployed. Graduated at 23. Had minimum wage jobs up until age 26. Now works for a uc school as a dispatcher making 19 am hr and caps at 30 after many many many yrs.
Says she kind of regrets it. 30k in debt

Other friends majored in bio, psychology, and some other one. Same story. One works with my sister. Higher position. The bio major works taking care of kids with disabilities in a school. Basically minimum wage.

Now... the only success story from people she knows.. (I don't talk to the people I knew in hs).

One majored in accounting. Straight A student. Had like a 3.9 overall gpa. One internship (MAYBE more). Graduated at 26 because they were doing engineering at 1st. Was making 12 an hr full time in a law firm up until age 26. Then she started making 80k working a gov job. Graduated with no debt too.

Good.... the problem? They hate it because of the hrs and micro management. Says they work doctor hrs. Basically 80 hrs a week!! No work life balance.

All that effort just for a soul draining job....

Fuck. So you either are underemployed and you get cucked or not underemployed but your employers suck your soul.

That's what college gets you for the majority??

You sacrifice so much, give the jews all the money they want, study a shit ton and sacrifice your personal life.... all for THIS?

What the FUCK

I think I will stick with a 2 yr associates in electrical. Just going to try to find a union. I actually know of one I would like. Almost got in. 60k with benefits... but the greatest part that isn't emphasized enough?

It is CHILL. Low stress. Good culture. No micro management.

Now... not all of them are like that. Gotta be lucky. Just feels more common

So the Jews forced them to follow those career paths and study for that? Poor them, if only they could take responsibility for their own desicions!

The cost of school itself, dummy.

People are basically forced to go to college nowadays.

You think people WANT to go to college?

Why do you think less people graduated from college during the baby boomer timeline?

Cause they were stupid? No. Because it wasn't FORCED DOWN THEIR THROAT.

Now, it basically is. It is basically EXPECTED nowadays.

College literally makes no sense. If you go to college to learn something, why not just learn it in your own, 100 times faster. If you go to college to learn something to get a job and make money, why not just skip college and learn business on your own, maybe start a business or whatever. I just can’t fathom why people go to college. I did it, but I did it for the social aspect and bang hot chicks. Other than that, it makes no sense.

Bad job, hard life. Good job, no life. Pick your poison.

starting a business is still more work, requires more intelligence and riskier than completing school. it's just that you don't get the money or jobs that you're supposed to get with your degree. you end up getting a leg up above people that don't have a degree and you will have an inflated salary in comparison, but you're still grossly underpaid and overworked. there are people that do my job and only get paid $1-2 more an hour because they have a degree in finance. not worth it.

Yep. Love this pic. Especially the last sentence.

>go to good school
>get non-meme degree
>have higher quality of life than peers who didn’t
it’s not college’s fault that your friends are tards op

Did you not FUCKING READ THE ACCOUNTANT STORY??

Stop cherry picking

Plus, env science isn't some "meme" degree. I wonder how you would do in it.

>took until 26 to graduate in fucking accounting
>only one internship in that time
yup, tard status confirmed. P.S. telling anectodtes about your retarded friends is a prime example of cherry picking, which you would know if you weren’t tard.

lmao yes it is
>b-b-but orgo!!!
art class for dorks.

that's the most uninformed and retarded thing anyone can say

college is for retards

>scam
No one told you it will be success all the way. College is just trad school for professions that ask you to read manuals. Science and stuff is a whole different.

Maybe you should have started working earlier, like 2nd year of uni

What exactly is your major?

1. And again with the cherry picking. I said at LEAST one internship but I'm pretty sure it was more than one

2. They had a HIGH AS FUCK GPA EVEN WITH ENGINEERING CLASSES. They are WAY smarter than YOU.

3. They graduated late because they switched majors you retard.


Lol you thinking you can compete with them is hilarious. What is your major and what was your gpa?

>inb4 lie to save fave

You are the dumbass for... you know what?

Read this pic

What's your major and gpa?

Env science = had to take organic chemistry = how the FUCK is that "art"?

>What is your major and what was your gpa
Physics/Math, 3.8, but I know you won’t believe me. Assuming he started at 18 that means it took him 8 fucking years to graduate - he could’ve finished an engineering and accounting major separately at that pace. Actually quicker since neither of those requires 4 years in the first place unless you’re retarded.

Dude dude dude. Listen. Bio, environmental science, psychology are soft fields. They are like the gender studies of stem. Do some hardcore engineering stuff like a man - Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Aeronautical, Computers, IT, etc. Trust me. If you go through that then your life is basically set.

This is only if you're interested in STEM though. Idk much about law and accounting.

>env science is not meme
Just how much environmentalists do you think buisness need? Same with accounts, sorry, it is 2018, unless you are multistate hundred emploees company you need 1 at most, automatization tools and streamlined taxes did murder it.

>read this retarded piece of text that says we should limit individual freedoms that'll surely make me win this argument

Fuck off you kike, I fly planes and maintain them, all that was needed was a high school diploma. Job shortage so I make fuckhuge amounts of money.
How dare you step on my freedom to do whatever the fuck I please.

Check out Ted Kaczynski. He has written extensively about this.

Damn life is good. Everything given to me on a silver platter.

*she
Also, pretty sure their majors are more applicable than general physics/math.

Have you graduated? What's your job?

You know, I was 2.5 yrs done with a bachelors before doing the electrical trade. I had this one teacher from ucla who graduated in straight up math. 4.0 AND graduated in 3 yrs. He was underemployed working jobs like security gaurd, etc. Got fired a lot. Couldn't find a career job other than teaching... at least he found something but his major wasn't very applicable.


You also LOVE to downplay accomplishments. 3.9 in accounting isn't fucking easy. Probably only a low ass percent of people ever get it that high.

Nice critical thinking toothpaste, keep defending the system.

It is still a retarded opinion as most people are basically forced into college do to the structure of the job market.

>Also, pretty sure their majors are more applicable than general physics/math.
why?

>Basically 80 hrs a week
Even worse if you stay in STEM academia. You get a salary that is pretty shit even if you're were only working 39 hours a week, but if you don't work 70+ hours a week you're considered extremely lazy and will lose your position. I stopped at masters level when I saw this, but I know some who continued and now have PhDs. They earn less than minimum wage if you consider it by hour. The worst part is most of them are somehow ok with this.

Wtf man kek. Sounds good.
The pay is kind of low BUT I am assuming it evens out based on where you live?

I'm not even part of the system. I'm working on getting an off-grid home in the most rural parts of the US. The system can go to shit for all I care, I'm set. I will prevail while you point to your oligarchs and ask for more of your freedom to be limited. You're scum.

I don't see how it can transition into the job market. Maybe tell me what job you have?

>accounting isn't hard

Have you ever taken an accounting class?

Exactly. With that pay i probably wouldnt be able to afford 1 room apartment in US.

nope. haven’t taken a gender studies class either

>this brainlet actually equated gender studies to accounting

You would probably bomb intro accounting classes lol.

I’m sure there’s lots of very tricky concepts like multiplication or even division involved

Lol.... the math IS easy. I know because I took 2 accounting classes before (managerial amd finance).

The math IS INDEED EASY.

That's NOT what makes accounting hard you brainlet. It's actually trying to follow the abstract concepts. Some of it just doesn't even make sense.

YOU try taking ONE accounting class instead of speaking out of your ass.

sum finna 4 inna 5 shieeet mayn das booshi how u gon do dat fuck dis wypepo math mayn only numba i need 420 nam sayin *sucks teeth*

How the fuck can you be me?

i sell car insurance and have a 2 year IT degree. all of these degrees are going to translate into some research assoc./analyst type job until you prove yourself as useful.

HAHAHA
>never took accounting
>thinks it's easy yet doesn't have the balls to take at least one intro level class


You are an idiot simply trying to save face

Both are closely working with cs, and not just using it. Physics can go engineering too, sure, it will be rather rough transaction, but still possible.

*I* went the electrical route.

Pathetic. That's your argument? You would fail it.

Any girl who goes to college, and does NOT graduate with a degree in Education is mentally ill.

With a degree in Education that you can get at any public university for under $60,000:

- you can get a full-time job working for any town/city in America as an Elementary School teacher at age 23

- you never have to work nights or weekends in your life

- you get 10 weeks off every Summer, every snow day off, all Holidays off

- you don't need any further training

- you will NEVER have your job outsourced to China or replaced by a robot

- you NEVER have to worry about meeting sales projections or quarterly sales numbers

- you don't need to move to a certain part of the country (such as aerospace jobs) there are elementary schools in every town in the country, if you ever relocate - it's easy to get a new job

- you can retire at age 55 with a State/City Pension, Government Health benefits

- you are home every day by 4:30pm

- you have Union Protection, almost impossible to fire a public school teacher

if your retard friends can handle it anyone can desu

Maybe you all should get non nigger tier tri color flags then.

you're the one so bootyblasted by your inability to handle college that you made an entire thread about it dude

Financially, college still seems to be worth it. People with bachelors degrees earn way more in their lifetimes; even if it’s in a meme subject, but moreso if it’s something useful. If you don’t care about making money then I guess find something else to do.

They are not abstract, it is just a load of weird things that make no sense and even more rules.

A big system with lots of enters and exits, pipes and vaults, you have to make sure every bit that comes in goes out of right exit at the right time, while fat retards push fingers in and scream at you.

You are the fucking retard that thought acct was just "tricky concepts like multiplication or even division.."

You are one ignorant fuck, you know that?

Actually take a class this summer in the evening or some shit so you can stop being ignorant.

Not really. A college grad makes about 1.9 mil in a lifetime.

1.9mil / 45 = $42,222

45 because that's the avg amount of yrs in the workforce

$42,222 a yr ÷ 2080 = $20.23

2080 because that's the typical amount of hrs worked per yr on avg

It's doable, but nothing crazy.

Again, this is simply for the majority. Obviously engineers, etc. make way more.

And obviously it's better than just having some highschool degree but damn does this market suck.

you're right, that was unfair of me. there's probably some exponentials in there too.

Don't be retarded. It could easily be 10+ years before the collapse, and you're willing to just immediately surrender the civilizations you build to live out your "innawoods" larp fantasy?

That's the job itself. What's the underemployment rate for those majors?

For a girl, I would 100% recommend college, with a focus on getting a Teaching or Nursing degree.

For a guy, I would 70% recommend college, unless he is good with his hands, then he is better off starting a landscaping company at age 19, instead of pumping money into college tuition, use that money to get a truck/trailer and a few zero-turn mowers and you can EASILY start making $250 a DAY at age 20 cutting lawns, cut 8 houses a day at about $30-40 and you'll be making $250 after you pay for the gasoline expense... or else tree work, excavation work....

Get a college degree in anything.
Be a secret society member.
Get a great job.
Don't do any work at your job. (Actual work is for the uninitiated.)
Still get promoted.

VERY easy to downplay things when you have no idea hoe complicated it is. Kys for having shit arguments

You all took the bait, ITT Jow Forums falls for trade school. SAGE

>my sibling majored in env science
so how many NGO projects he worked on? how many environment protection guys he met with? how many times he applied for government jobs? what was his ma or phd thesis?

>The bio major works taking care of kids with disabilities in a school. Basically minimum wage.
see above. what post grad did they do? what papers did they publish?

>One majored in accounting. Straight A student. Had like a 3.9 overall gpa. One internship (MAYBE more).
an accountant with a 3.9 GPA from a good school would easily find job in major accounting firms, Big Law, government jobs (80k at 26 isn't bad and once your portfolio start coming along you'll be spoiled for choice). now if it's some school out in the boonies, that's a different story, though accountants are always in demand.

>Another become a plumber thread
Not everyone is cut out for college. Blue collar work is better than working an Amazon warehouse or graduating with a 2.5. However, anybody who is leading you away from college even though you can succeed is trying to deceive you.

I'm in ok shape. I work out 2 to 3 times per week. Just lost 20 lbs in fact, 230 to 210.

The trucks are very expensive to maintain, but I don't pay for it. At my hub we have around 60 tractors. I work for a company, I'm not independent.

Forgot to add:
>100% medical, I just pay for glasses and prescriptions
>90% unlimited dental
>Various employee discounts
>6 weeks paid vacation
>14 sick days and option days

i remember calling them "word problems" when i was in 8th grade

1. Just a bachelors. She said she couldn't get internships. She in particular had a low gpa. Let's be real for a sec instesd of cherry picking and looking at the best. Env science isn't easy. You still have to invest a lot of effort into it and not everyone can get A's. In fact, most people dont.

2. Above

3. Idk what school she went to but considering her high gpa, it was probably a good one.
Her issue isn't with the pay, it's with the hrs.

What?

You really think the clumsy autist types on Jow Forums will do well with a physical skilled trade. I know i sure as fuck wouldn't. If i wasnt smart enough to get a good white collar job i would be working in fast food

I am saying don't go into blue collar if you can succeed in college. If you can't graduate with a 3.0+ in engineering/CS or a 3.4+ in an academic degree, you should look at other options.

Teaching at public school is hell.
They expect you to pass kids who don't show up to half of the classes.
They will let kids back talk you so they don't have to report it to the state.

Fuck Obama, fucking nigger is the worst president ever.

I am 2.5 yrs done with a bba econ degree. I'll stick with a chill union that pays 60k with benefits if I can get in due to the LOW STRESS.

IF I think I will get benefit from the bba econ degree, then I will finish it online BUT this job market is ass with a high underemployement rate.

I can finish it in 1.5 yrs if I really wanted to while working.

Also
>You are home every day by 4:30
Haha good joke.

>doesn't answer the fucking question

Dont forget that you can't discipline the nigger kids because its "racist" so they get away with murder

yes I have done """word problems""" you terminal brainlet; or as adults call them: "problems"
or did you think people in college still have homework assignments that look like: "1 + 1 = ?"
then again maybe they do in accounting kek
