Oh and also girls who go out of their way to prove they're a badass by getting a Scotch on the rocks or something like that. I like scotch on the rocks, its probably my favorite alcoholic drink. But I'm not getting it at a party because a) it makes no sense in that setting and b) I don't want to look like I'm trying so hard to flex balls and show everyone how much of a badass I am.
Yeah I was pretty sure of it. Little known fact: Paul Rudd always has a Sierra Nevada in any scene where hes drinking a beer.
I'm a big time hater if you can't tell. Maybe you've heard of me: Yeah though I just hate on people all day. Its my passion. I find things to complain about like no other.
Between going to college and working in one I've spent the last ten years of my life on campus. The takeaway for me is college is a money-grab. I feel bad for the kids coming through now thinking a degree is going to do something for them.
I saw it on a tweet but its pretty accurate: College is the biggest waste of money I'd do over again. Its more just a 4 year fantasy land...fun shit. End up with a degree.
College is awesome. I'm going to keep going until they pay me to be there instead of visa versa. Should happen any time now...
I only put in 4 years of undergrad, but three years of full-time grad school and then 3.5-ish years of night school. I don't think that college is a money-grab. It's not a guarantee, but a degree opens many doors that people without degrees would have a much tougher time opening. How well it prepares people to work? I dunno. What I do now has almost nothing to do with what I went to school for those seven years for... but it changed how I think and it changed how I write and it changed how I interact with people. Maybe I could have been better served by doing something else instead of going to (and paying for) school for all of those years. If I had something I was passionate about something, then maybe that would make sense. I don't think for me it would have worked out as well. Ed O.
I agree I don't think it is a money grab, unless you are doing a degree that doesn't have a future. Things like engineering, computer science, accounting etc seem to be sure-bets. Woman Studies or ethnic studies.....not so much.
10 years working before returning to college. I care a hell of a lot more now than I would have if I had gone right out of high school. I think I'll be better served this way.
Yeah I hear about how a college degree isn't valuable and its like a high school diploma used to be. Dunno if its true or not but I see what my friends who didn't go to college are doing and don't think thats very attractive at all. Unless they're the few who are in a union job they're mostly doing shit, broke, struggling to pay bills, and working one or more shitty jobs that has no potential to turn into something someone can make a decent living off of.
Yeah, but they don't have upwards of 40,000-100,000k in debt Seriously though, I'll probably be about 30 or 40k in debt by the time I'm done with my masters. I already figure I'll just go directly from under-grad to grad. With the economy we're in, there's really not much point to even try to find a job.
Degrees not being as valuable is related to parents thinking their kid has to go to college, and paying for every half brain to go. Also the economy is shit, so how can you expect it to provide a job instantly?
