Topic: Should I Go To College ??? - page 74. (Read 28135 times)

as i said before the school system is a waste of time ...
But if you're one of the people who just wanna get something to eat and that's it fine .. go to school waste 20 years of your life

So how did you learn to read write and add up?..
Now what happens if your parents move to another country and cannot speak the lingo
then what happens to the children if going to school is a waste of time..

You mean it's not worth paying for a degree ?..

See as well some jobs you do need a degree or you will not be employed ..

Plus some jobs you can earn good money and then invest as well as go to work..
Steady money and making money good smart life ..

Oh and it's easy saying don't get a degree if you made good money..

Hey Sadlife,

as i said before the school system is a waste of time ...

But if you're one of the people who just wanna get something to eat and that's it fine .. go to school waste 20 years of your life, to be able to waste the rest working in a job from 8 AM to 3 PM

School .. will give you exactly that !

But if you're different, if you wanna live a different life ...
Don't waste your life chasing marks Instead, chase the dream you always dream of and this, doesn't necessary require school

You can be a multi millionaire just playing games and upload them on YouTube " PewDiePie " The world has changed my friend 

Yes, school can - after 20 years of studying - gives you a job but it can never give you the life you always dream of

let's look at the statistics

Only 27 % of the people work in a field that's related to their degrees .. And 80 % of the people hate their jobs 32 % of the most 100 richest people, don't have a college degree

And the rest their degrees aren't the reason of their wealthiness .

Well that depends on you bro, you dont need others to decide what path you should take. Remember whatever you might think on doing in your life. Always remember that you are right. But all i can do for you is recommend some suggestions, if you have a goal in life like a dream job then you should probably take college and pursue the course/field that you want but if you have a different goal in mind like investing in bitcoin and being apart with us the new rich gentlemen in the future. This digital currency might solve all your problems plus bitcoin is decentralized.

i agree that it is the best way i know of but there might be a better way waiting for the public to notice ...

The school system is a waste of time

" I loathed every day and regret every moment i spent in a school " - Woody Allen

Neither free nor cheap. Especially in USA education system is ruining the lives of many talented students. Universities may provide quality education but at what cost.?
The student debt is a big problem and we have to solve it.

If it is free or cheap, then I would go for it. A university degree can transfer to other jobs other than just what your major was. If you have to get into tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt to graduate, make sure your degree is worth something in the job market (STEM not liberal arts ).

My daughter is very bright top in all subjects and she is going to college in the next 12 months
to get her A levels which is free..

Do you call college university or do you have to pay for both?..

See why i have popped up is because when my daughter goes to university she will be stuck with a
59k debt when she leaves university..

But we didn't have to pay it back until you earned 21k a year ..

But now they have put it down to 17k to start paying it back..
Now the trouble is how many will be going for the same jobs as you are with the same degrees?..

Also in work how many get a job because it's who they KNOW..

NOW in the USA do you have to pay your student debt back no matter what?..

Because if you do GOD HELP YOU ..

When i was young not so long ago i never had to pay anything to be EDUCATED ..
No one did ..

BUT these GREEDY ASS HOLE politicians turned you into debt slaves to line them and there cronies
pockets..

I mean this guy as eating half the USA by the looks of the guy..chris christie ..
FED ON ALL YOUR TAXES ..

1 billion he spent on DOUGHNUTS and chomped the lot in 1 sitting..

So you need to think will AI or a robot possibly take the job what i am about to study for..

Care will be needed ..
doctors will be needed..
Plumbers will be needed very hard to get a robot to do plumbing  ..Getting under sinks  
solar and wind industries ..


Biggest industry the medical industry ..PEOPLE will pay anything to LIVE..
And the fact more old than ever before..

Plus you will easy get a job as a doctor .Hard work though long hours But good pay if in the USA..

BUT believe me you young ADULTS have it way worse than we ever did when we was growing up..
SO GOOD LUCK and i hope you do well in life..

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER..

Referring to those bitcoin users who doesn't want to go to college because of profits they are receiving in bitcoin)

Even with bitcoin on our side, and there are proofs that bitcoin can take us to success even without going to college, it's not making sense to me. Prior to bitcoin existence, diploma is one of the great achievement in our life so better goal for it not because of the money.

Back to topic, simple advice as "GO TO COLLEGE and FINISH YOUR GOAL". Make yourself proud especially your parents or guardians who funded your education along the way.

Well, I don't live in the US so I don't know if my advice would have any weight to it but I've been reading different articles and they all say having a degree increases the pay you would get over your entire working years.

I'm assuming though that there in the US, non-college graduates have a lot more opportunities. Here in my country it's ridiculous, I've seen cafes requiring their baristas to have a bachelor's degree, as if that would help them brew better coffee.

I think it really depends on what field you want to enter, some may not really require a college degree. If your chosen field does, then just take advantage of the student loan, we don't have that here, you definitely have more options. Weigh how much you think you would earn and how long it would take you to pay of that loan.

Good luck on your journey.

Yeah i know that but Americans gaining a loan in college is big problem

I'm not lucky

yes you should go to college. There are more opportunities when you are a degree holder.

Hi everyone,

What advice would you give a HS senior in US about to decide on and/or enter college ?
