Who cares lol
In the end all of you are still wage cucks

>>12428310
Most influential people in history never graduated from college.
Going to college doesn't make you smarter than everyone else. Seeing it for what it truly is what makes you smart.

>>12428310
College is a waste of money IF you have an entrepreneur mentality.

However, most people have wagecuck mentality and without a doubt would benefit from college.

>>12428374
This. Everyone on this board thinks they're too smart for higher education, when in fact they have garbage work ethic, little to no ability to come up with profitable ideas, and are easily swayed by bullshit.

>>12428310
>something only works for a minority of people
>what's wrong with forcing everyone to be bankrupt for their entire lives to try that thing

>>12428374
Yeah this is true if you fine with a comfy job then college is good for you. Its not required to live a harder life just cause you want more than the average salary. Some of us want the finer things in life and being someones bitch isn't good for our mentality

>>12428402
most people here have STEM degrees.

>>12428310
I graduated cum laude with a meme degree and have a fairly solid $50k job. Outside of STEM and Finance, college is a scam and I could have my job without a degree. If I had an MechE degree I would be making closer to $70-80k at my current employer.

Blatant lie

I don't know, in engineering some classes were bullshit but other classes are definitely things you can't get from internet so easily or without guidance, but at the same time university teaches so little about engineering that thinking you will be set and done with it is laughably bad, im a Mech Engineer and basically it certificates that you aren't a retard because you will still need to learn a lot after graduating

>>12428425
WASA WASA STEM-CONNECCCCTTTTT

>but they work other jobs
yeah. go get a mechanical engineering degree to become a manager at a retail store or become a telemarketer.

>>12428310
Tfw dropped out of college before associates degree and earning 120k+

>>12428374
This guy gets it. For smart people it’s a waste but for dummies it probably helps.

>>12428490
In general, most good jobs require "a degree", without caring about the subject. In most subjects no one has intentions of working in it at college.

Good examples are investment Banking (maths related stem) and marketing (random arts subjects). You've clearly never had a proper career if you don't know this

>>12428310
>10 year old data
also I have a bachelors in STEM and hit 120k at 30yo which is the same as phd on this busted ass chart

>>12428310

>>12428523
How do you have a stem degree and not understand what mean means?

>>12428493


What do you do?

>>12428594
Cybersecurity

>>12428578
I understand I also know I'm not 99th percentile

>>12428631
Adjust for 10 years of CPI and what percentile are you?

Harvard takes perfectly good plums as students, and turns them to prunes.

Some people actually enjoy learning new things and go to college to improve themselves.

Drops outs and English majors say this stuff. College is a joke these days, you have to be pretty stupid to fail. I do think the majority of the material is worthless and you won't need it once you get a job requiring a degree but that's just the way the system works. Yeah it sets you up to be a wagecuck but with the money I'm making now idgaf

>>12428348
Fpbp, college is wage cuck training. Being a wage cuck is literally retard tier. I don’t know how normies don’t value their time.

College is a good idea, but like most things the system has failed us. You’re probably be more financially free by starting an aggressive investment strategy as a teenager. If you spend those 4 years earning real world experience it’s much easier to compete w peers . This is obviously not true of you attend high level university and have the rigor to endure the institution

>>12428505
>Entrepreneur = Smart
Tyrone runs his own crack business, is he smarter than a lawyer who pulls $500k/yr ?

>>12428402
There's even a market that sells advice to failed / wannabe entrepreneurs who see themselves as go-getters and hustlers

>>12428772
Most people to to college simply to avoid having a soul sucking job for 4-7 years. And most also think they will just magically end up in a good job after that, while statistics show otherwise. It's paid vacation mostly

>>12428374

Bingo. Went to university, currently an entrepreneur with 2 businesses grossing seven figures per year, University did nothing for me except waste 4 years of my life (fell for the "study what you love" meme). If I had gone into work my field of study, I'd be working poor and probably shilling for Bernie Sanders tier socialist garbage to excuse my own poor decision making.

>>12428859
What did you study?

I'm 23 and make 130k, lol

>>12428310
College isn’t job training, it’s to make you less pleb. That’s why rich people still send their kids, secondary education is a mark of the aristocracy and without it you are just nouveu riche.

>>12428370
They never graduated cuz they were geniuses not 4chan tards

>>12428879
It's called a LARP, he didn't study anything

>>12428310
Correlation does not equal causation.

People with higher IQ are more likely to make more money, but they're also more likely to go to college. It's down to IQ not whether they go to college or not.

>>12428881
What do you do anon?

>>12428310
> implying you have to be top 25% of your class to go to college

I barely graduated high school with a 2.0. Spent two years at the local community college and knocked out some cheap general ed classes, spent the next three years finishing up my degree at a 4 year school. Went to post grad for a law degree and finished bottom 50% of my class. $150k in debt with a well-paying job in my field now.

College is a waste of money if: A) You’re going for a meme degree; or, B) You’re a pussy that’s going to drop out halfway through. Other than that, it’s not too bad. Not a fan of the “you must go to college” thing though. You probably don’t need to go if you’re looking to get into manual labor or a specialty school (electrician, plumbing etc...)

>>12428310
I make 140k/year.

I'm telling you, college is a waste of money if aren't getting a professional degree. Good luck paying the debt off with a meme degree

>>12428348
professional degree here. Work in an office of just me. Take jobs I want. Work hours I want. Charge what I want. 20 hrs a week for $150K in a low cola aint bad.

College was never about intelligence it was about grit. Yes, (((they))) want hard working employees who comply. Big surprise eh? You still need to be able to work hard with those smarts, so may as well go to college and learn to grind and manage time.

People who absolutely shit on people for not going to college are in the same boat as the people who shit on people for paying for college

>>12428310
College grads working at burger king aftrr the recession

>>12429667
>College was never about intelligence
This is just wrong. I went from valedictorian with minimal effort to completely mediocre. Difference in intelligence is night and day and I found it hard to deal with at first, so did my friends therer, although of course you have to be motivated to get through.

>>12429681
Do the work, get the grades, get the degree. That’s how you succeed at college. I’m not talking about those kids who instantly get every hard topic

>>12429681
Also lol a past valedictorian on 4chan? Haha maybe wereno

>>12429701
We’re not that autistic***

>>12428420
haha cum

>>12429697
Yes I did ok and graduated in the middle. In high school I beat 200 people effortlessly. Don't say people aren't smarter there if you haven't been. I can only speak about my experience at a top one obviously but friends noticed the same thing at normal state colleges.

>>12428602
Next meme, mark my words

>>12428881
Im about to be 24 making 1 million after taxes a year soon the amount i make vs my age wont be impressive wut do anons

>>12429001
No larp. Have a nice near-useless degree from a upper tier university. I had fun, but question whether it was worth the time and money.

>>12428310
I dropped out after a year of college and got a job instead. After three years of working professionally, I currently have a $120k/year job
Some friends from friends I made in freshman year that graduated last year still haven't gotten a job
College is a (((scam)))
