It's a bad thing when you're putting nearly everyone that does it in debt. And really the actuall payoff isn't any sort of education, it's that people will hire you.doogsinparadise said:How is college not required in THIS economy? @RoadDawg55 @allpurpleallgold?
Sure, you can make a living if you have hard skills in a field like construction or other technical area. But that's not most people, and it's going to be even more pronounced in the future. How is sending people to school to learn how to write and read difficult material in any way a bad thing?
What's happened is actually really interesting. Everyone decided that you "have to" go to college. But if everyone does something that thing becomes less valuable. I would argue that college is actually less valuable than ever before except when it comes to getting hired. Which makes it valuable but not in the way it was intended to be.
At this point you have to go to college so you can get the job that will allow you to pay off the debt you earned from going to college. That's actually insane. -
Yet your lifetime earnings will still probably be higher than someone who doesn't go to college. It's a bad system, but I'm still not seeing how it's bad individually to go to college, despite the group statistic saying that it maybe doesn't doesn't matter.allpurpleallgold said:

That's why people should be getting liberal arts degrees.

This is making me wonder if the 60K I paid for a degree from that school in Guam was legit or not?
