Yeah higher education is the biggest racket in the country right now, the cost of college goes up every year and nowadays unless you are going to a really good (read: really expensive school) with lots of "good connections" you're not going to be getting out of college with much to enter a job that is reasonable enough to help you get going. I knew someone who had a master's in something, like a solid 6-8 years of college under her belt, but nobody would hire her because it just wasn't good enough. Last I heard she was managing a Pizza Hut. That's the problem with college education the way it is now, there is no reasonable certainty that you will get a job but everyone going to college thinks they're just going to be handed a solid 5 or even 6 figure job as soon as they graduate. It just doesn't work that way.

@farhan007 You need a college education for common sense? To think critically? Holy shit they got you good. Contrary to what you have been led to believe, clearly, you don't need some $20k + a year establishment to have common sense. Period. "My fast food example is irrelevant" Go fuck yourself, it's not irrelevant, it's actually perfectly relevant, I know someone who had a "safe" degree and found out like many other people that they couldn't do shit with it after the fact. It's relevant. Here's the thing though I don't have the time, energy or desire to jerk off here with you all day. "It's not relevant" yeah and you should probably consider suing your former college or the one you're currently attending cause they fucked up for you in the common sense department. According to you that's something you should've gotten from them by now! Fucking fool LOL College is a racket. Enjoy being in debt until you're 45, here's a little extra homework for you ass-plug, go Google the number of unemployed undergraduates that went to a decent school ($20k a year and above) and how they're faring in the private sector now. Telling me my information is irrelevant, it couldn't be more relevant derp a derp, talking about the futility of higher education FOR ALL and naming personal examples, people I knew personally, who got the shaft up their posterior in a very major, serious way after the fact. I was 19 on my way going into college at the time, they were just finishing college and working for about $35k a year at a Pizza Hut. There was probably barely room for groceries on top of paying back those student loans and putting a roof over the poor girl's head. Nice try correcting me though, faggot, LOL at you though thinking one of the things college is going to do for you is teach you common sense. Sense enough to recognize a scam/racket when you see one, sense enough to realize that people who have fallen for it found out the hard way it doesn't mean shit to have a master's degree even in the post 2009 recession in the American economy. Sense enough to a realize a relevant anecdote and the difference between that and an irrelevant one. It's on topic, it's completely in line with the conversation. It's relevant. And you still have no common sense faggot LOL

@cs-cg9wl I am pretty sure it was a Master's in Business Administration. I do not know how good of a student she was nor do I know where she graduated from, but I mean that's kind of also part in parcel to my point as well. It might actually not be worth going to a crappy school at all, if you can't get into a decent one, it'll still cost you a fortune but you'll wind up like Saul Goodman for it having to resort to nothing other than creativity (read: criminality) to do anything with it at all. It's not like she had a Masters in Art History or anything.

@farhan007 Mechanical engineer is something you should be going to a specialized school for that. Anything with the word "Engineer" at the end of it is invariably going to be a better thing to invest your time in than any of the other routes you can take in school. But that's only a fraction of the various paths and routes you can take. Even majoring in Economics would be better than majoring in Business, but do they tell students that? No, why? Because it's a fucking scam. If you do go to college, major in something that is going to lead to a good entry level job. Also, be sure you can finish it because even racking up a semester's worth of tuition is going to sting you in the ass when and if you do drop out. Blah blah blah, TL;DR for the rest of it, I'm not going to argue with you. Liberal arts degrees are one of the examples of degrees that I think fall into the "Ha, stupid student, we got them right where we want them" type of degrees. If you wanna major in that, please get a full ride before doing so, as spending a penny towards that is spending too much as is. But your argument is "they seem smarter and more balanced after finishing the degree" .... yes because we know how well that puts food on the fucking table. You'd be better off staying at home and engaging in ponderous thought for free than going into a Liberal Arts program with this idea in your head like 50% of the people going to college right now currently have that "It'll be fine! I'm going to college, doing what I was told I needed to do to be successful!" and then they realize not all degrees are the same. Yes, if you're paying for an education, get something you can use. And to your credit, the one example you did mention happens to be one of the better fields. Also good are Computer Science, for instance, but that's not for everyone -- neither is mechanical engineering. No, it's far easier I think for the average person to go to school for Liberal Arts. Hence, my point that not everyone should be going to college, it's not just a waste of their time, it's a waste of money.
