Is college worth it?

realistically imo you should college if you want to do doctors stuff, the rest is diyable but gl getting an engineering jig with no diploma

how i would respond to that

ok

As usual, the boring unfunny response that leaves you with no clear simple answer is the most accurate one. Well said, user

If you wish to study, work and research in fields involving science, technology, engineering or mathematics such as doctor, engineer. Let's be honest no one is going to hire a "self learned doctor" who have been reading about all the subjects in the library. Otherwise don't go to college. Other professions that requirer a degree form their perspective fields would be lawyers and psychologist.

The same thing I would say to the creator of this thread

I don't think it is, but college is absolutely treated as a means of gatekeeping to keep people out of certain kinds of fields and to maintain a class based hierarchy among workers. Making all college free would certainly have a huge impact on said class based system.

It's a necessary form of vetting imo. It's more of a retard filter than anything.

nigger some people just don't have what it takes to be a part of the upper crust
nigger I'm in college and I'll tell you don't go
lmao and these 'class gatekeepers' are all leftyshit professors, figure that one out

As a sociology graduate who finished with a 2.9 GPA I think free college or even subsidized college is a terrible thing. If you can't afford to go to college you don't really belong there.

>paying for uni
Americucks are cute

>and in most cases wouldn't be able to even if they wanted to, ie Jow Forums
Virtually anyone can go to college, especially people on Jow Forums who tend to be fairly intelligent. That said I mostly agree with your post. College is the easiest way to get a 9-5 job, it's just that its becoming extremely oversaturated. More and more people are attending college for diminishing returns; entry-level salaries aren't scaling proportionate to rising costs of living and real estate, and while a good career path can result in a dramatic rise in your income after a decade or so of experience, the majority of college students today are getting shitty meme degrees that will never allow for that sort of upwards mobility. For me, the thought of going to college to get an arts/humanities degree, and then working a job that will only pay enough to either rent a box apartment in the city, or get a long and expensive mortgage on an overpriced house is nightmarish. This is why a lot of millennials and zoomers will be poorer than their parents.
