Topic: Do you really earn more money because you went to college? - page 17. (Read 13059 times)

Probably, but I hope bitcoin will reach a unbelievable high price.
And then I will earn more money then someone that went to collage!
But still people that got a diploma and that are not making 100k> a year.
I feel sorry for them because all there lives they will have to work for there house, and everything else.

many people get rich without degree. Some examples:

Others made great contributions to their fields without degree(ex: Faraday)


al rogue people, of course

I attended college since i was somehow forced to do it, it was expected from me to do it and i did it. I think if i had free will i wouldn't attend, but now i'm happy i did. Somehow i see stuff different and i like the fact that i can get better job, but i'm still jobless

Who said that I wasn't trying to insult such people?

Yeah, that kind of thinking is incredibly biased and saying someone not wanting to get a degree is just trying to get out of studying is pretty insulting to people who study independently and in fact learn more and better that way.

Now show the study that compares the efford and costs to become neurosurgeon invested in others fields

Do you? The question is rather funny.
Go to college --> become neurosurgeon (I highly doubt that you could achieve this without college) --> http://www.healthcareworkersalary.com/physicians/neurosurgeon-salary/?doing_wp_cron=1404423480.4343879222869873046875

Stop trying to find a way to get out of studying.
 

I can't say exactly if thats gonna help me or not because I still have to finish my college maybe a year more. and at this point I can say its not the worst decision I ever took , although there were not much options available, and with the amount of competition around it always help if you are holding something in your hand. although thousands other carrying the same thing but atleast now you'll get a chance to compete with them.   

I chose to stay unemployed and and not work to get into university/college so I could build my business from essentially nothing and getting educated in two subjects, technically three, Jewellery Making, Gemstone Setting and Artwork all for the price of what would be considered a university degree essentially, I sincerely doubt I would be able to get the kind of one to one education I am getting now where I am than if I went to university and took one of the same subjects.

I'd like to see a link to this Federal Reserve 'study' looks to me like more of the same kind of bullshit mathematics and research I am used to when looking at politics which is all this is about.

p.s. You guys may have noticed my thread hasn't been updating awhile and that's because I'm working hard on getting projects finished and I'm learning new Jewellery techniques, I also got some awesome Topaz's in from Thailand just recently so I'll be setting my first faceted stones!

p.s.s Up yours any university professors who work in the Artwork/Jewellery fields if you happen to be reading this


Honestly, if we were in the past economy I would have agreed with you, but Bitcoin for me at least has changed everything, all you need to set up most businesses now is a Bitcoin Payment processor, a website and a skillset or service you can use that people will want to buy and that's the way it should be. I just recently had a look at the jobs listing and the situation is still pretty ridiculous since so many employers are asking for industry experience and university degrees it's no wonder you don't have anyone young getting employed, it's the employers fault not the people applying!

True. But what option am I really left with? Risk it with a high school diploma plus maybe some vocational training/certificates? It sucks how the current system has developed into, but I really have no choice if I want to be making a high salary with a secure job (80k+).

Unfortunately nowadays the Diploma does very little.  It is more about experience gained and who you know.  All you are left with is tons of debt that will take you 1/4 of your life to pay back....Things need to change.

I'm going to a University, and I already know most of the time that diploma means SHIT. Some people aren't even going to go in the field they studied for, or, they're looking for jobs in the wrong places. Going to college means shit. It doesn't guarantee a good path, meaning, some people won't earn more money.

People that go to college are in average brighter, harder working, more ambitious and for more affluante families and they are meant to make more money (as a group) than people that don't go to college

If you factor in the cost of going to college will you really make more money because of the diploma you will get?
