Punching Bag Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Being able to choose to die should be a fundamental right. After that I guess it would be there should be telemarketer hunting seasons. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put college degrees up there with ISO certifications. A lot of effort and money spent on convincing people that there is a lot of value in something that has very little. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read and learn...and if you're still relatively young, go to school. Unfortunately, a certain demographic in our country has decided college is a waste of time which is a really dangerous place to be as a nation. http://www.aplu.org/projects-and-initiatives/college-costs-tuition-and-financial-aid/publicuvalues/employment-earnings.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a handful of advanced degrees and professional licenses. They’re finally starting to bear some fruit from a financial rewards standpoint. But I know a ton of folks who are way more financially successful yet they avoided the academic debt factories. Unless a person is going to school with a professional focus in mind that that degree makes them immediately professionally eligible to do (perhaps after licensure like: engineer, accountant) I think the practical advantageousness of the college degree is a farce. I can get as much edification and intellectual stimulation from a public library for the cost of a quiet afternoon and a library card. I can socialize about something erudite in a reading circle or philosophy group that’s free and meets at any number of groovy places a few nights a week. Just my opinion ...

mead107 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 College has become a huge business. College dose not make everyone smarter. 50% of people that go are wasting time and large amounts of money. Just my opinion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to eliminate college as a choice, an earning gap would still exist with the same demographics. I remember that one of the speakers at graduation cited a statistic that 50% will NEVER use their degrees. His message was that colleges usher children into the real world by teaching them how to think, instead.- (which used to be a parent's job, but we've destroyed that by compelling two income households). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of the interviews and background checks that some dog breeders will put you through before you are allowed to buy one of their puppies. It’s harder to get approval for raising a dog than it is to raise a kid. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
