Topic: Is it college worth it? (Read 16908 times)

I'm of the opinion you don't have to get yourself into massive debt just to learn to get a job to pay off that debt.  I realise some companies require qualifications etc but alot of companies now are going down the route with hiring people without looking at their CV's.  You can learn anything you want for free online or in a library.

I thing education is everything you should do until 25y, you can do side things with bitcoin and altcoins too , but for me the education must be priority

I would advice him to go to College, be independent and then earn bitcoin or anything he wanted to do.

I agree that with the current technology, you can basically learn a lot of things. However, getting a diploma is still different. You can work hard to earn that money for college but if you will be in deep debt, weigh your options first if it is really worth in your current situation. But for me, real education is still the best to combat the competition in the job market. No one can steal it from you.

Graduate but has to drop out? you can't drop out if you have already graduated.

For college students and they are thinking of the same both. Why not buy and hold bitcoin while you are at college? you'll feel the fun having it and you don't have to be a day trader. You just have it on your wallet and leave while studying.

But the problem by most of them is where they should get the capital for buying. You all should be the one dealing with it.

Depends on where you are. In my city, college is free and I also have a scholarship. My advice is to recognize what you really want because not all jobs work with charisma alone, consider community colleges for technical vocational skills.

Well you have a point. Continue your studies if you like your course and you're determine to pursue it because thats your passion. However if you're studying without deeply interest to it, much better to take the path where you think you can excel.

Buy bitcoin and hold them for3/5 years is good but college worth it. Yes, college tuition is rising. Yes, there's student loan debt. However, research from the Federal Reserve says that college is still a good investment. A college degree leads to premium earnings in the labor market compared to those without a college degree.

...but if he graduate at the bottom 25% of his class, he should drop out of college.

You don't need to spend a fortune to get a university degree. Instead of going to an ivy league school you can still get a degree from a decent university and save some money. Also you will have some spare time when going to university where you could learn more about crypto currencies and start trading from your dorm room. I would recommend anybos to get a higher degree. What are 3 years when you have to work for 35 years?

It's a very controversial question.I study at one of the 200 best universities in the world. Once upon a time, four years ago, a friend and I decided to study here. And the government pays for me and his education bill. Honestly, I doubt that even the time I spend on this will ever pay off. For the most part, learning is good because there are many peers like you, building social connections that you can then use to advance your career or create a project. If a child before college does not show any ability to something that brings money and has not yet started earning, I think it is worth helping him to choose a very stable profession, with which he will be able to get money even during the crisis and in different parts of the world (Europe, America, Asia, Africa). There is definitely no cryptic currency, they can fall down accidentally, and then, when you are 70-80 years old, your child will not be able to pay part of the bills, because he will work as a dishwasher and barely make ends meet. I'd rather give him a hands-on education in economics, so he can understand both micro and macro economics. Then he will be able to live quite well, in a spacious house and have enough for a vacation in Miami, in winter he will go to Switzerland, skiing, and after work he will not think to "smell" to forget it all, but to enjoy life together with his beautiful wife.

I would suggest to only pursue college/university or other higher education only if you are truly passionate about it. If you only want a degree without any interest in the subject then it will become a pain for you so for second case you should skip college and look for lucrative crypto coins it will be better for you.

College is worth it, however I do not view it as the finishing line but a starting point. It is the foundation of your career, and you should  continue building from it. So in other words to succeed in the market place you do not  have to rely solely on college certificate or degree, you need to go further.

Yeah it's obvious that education is power, i will directly advice a child to dedicate he/her self in education in order to acquire knowledge,because a child without or a child that is not educated always have a deviates characters. Given a child capital to enroll into cryptoccurrency such bitcoin,the child can't utilized the capitals because of lack of understanding. So therefore I see education as a key to success.

I had this debate before in my mind, and the fact college and education winned.
I think it is worth the effort and time, as some jobs sadly, really rely on having that education to ensure the amount of salary you get.

I think that college and education are worth the effort and worth the effort, as it is the future for the young man, as he can, through college and education, secure a constant salary for him even when he becomes old while buying Bitcoin is a dangerous matter and it is likely not always successful

This post about is college worth it is a topic to be looked into. @coolbullsas

Definitely it will be changed, we may not need graduations to work on companies because skills plays major role for any recruitment and now unemployment rate gets increases on every country there will be new criteria follows by the companies to eliminate the candidates and for sure if you have experience it may be a negative for now because companies are not ready to pay huge salary for any job.

   i will go with the experienced applicants than those who have Diploma but has no big experiences in the field of work that needed.

I also applied to the position that is not in my course once and i fit the job.
Yeah College Diploma is always a weapon for future needed.

everyone's views will certainly be different for this...
for me college is very important, in my country, you can not get a job if only a high school graduate, it will be difficult for those who do not go to college to work, sound not fair but graduate from college is now a benchmark for a company to accept employees.

sure it worth it... it's something you will always have possibility to use
