definately not in most cases, you get into debt with the hopes of finding a decent paying job to get you out of it, problem is they don't exist 90% of the time and you get REKT.


the only way to make it is to start your own business, either your an entrepreneur, or a wageslave.

welcome to 2019.

This right here. At the end of it all, it fucks you up for most of your life with a miserable debt.

>the only way to make it is to start your own business, either your an entrepreneur, or a wageslave.
The saddest truth. You're either become the boss, the slave... or a soldier when there's no other place to turn...

You'll only get responses from people who feel strongly about the topic. Thus, many people will say no in an attempt to justify their own choice to themselves

[Anonymous No.13107563]

why do you say that?

>implying that people wont come in and say yes, to make themselves feel better

If you are rich you should go study something fun like history or music or philosophy. If you're using it for a job study CS or something STEM related.

Unironically the best period of my life was walking through those old classrooms and talking about existentialism or Shakespeare with a bunch of other smart people in the early 2000s before the universities went full SJW virtue signaling psychotic. But I had to go to law school to pay for those moments of intellectual bliss and I'm just now getting out of debt this year.

Master of chemistry here.

200% not worth it. I'm the second most successful chem grad I know and I make 60k/yr. Tons of us working as waitresses, at liquor stores..etc.

Got a friend who did production engineering or some shit. Makes bank. I did some bullshit degree and never used it. I went back to trade school and now make bank. If you’re stupid like me don’t go. Go to trade school.

Which masters degrees are BIZ approved? GI bill-pilled here, open to any opinions.

Here's what I've been thinking.
Nihilist-Bateman mode: Study for GMAT, try to get into the most prestigious MBA programs in the US that will accept me. Be a blind careerist, network shamelessly, do finance/consulting/government contracting. Pros-Financial security, family will be solidly upper-middle class and go to great schools. High status/connections.
Cons - Probably hate my job/self, hate being a fake bitch. May not have a lot time to raise family properly, or keep marriage afloat.

Fuck off to Europe mode: Do an english speaking MBA in Germany/Europe, Learn the language, get hired overseas and get citizenship in the EU.

Pros - Europe is a refreshing escape from American consumerism and has better culture. still >90% white. Beautiful women. Relaxed work culture. Novelty. Demographic decline is further away.
Cons - lower salary, degree not as useful unless want to work in Europe. Will be an outsider until complete fluency and years of assimilating. Costly to reverse decision if not as imagined. Political uncertainty.

Become politically active/politician: This one is less clear cut. You could either be subversive and do an MBA/law degree and grind away as a staffer for some neocon/lib weenie. Or carve a new path (build a media outlet/movement from the ground-up), which wouldn't really require a master's degree, but it gives more credibility.
Pros- Feel good about trying to change the world. Empowering. Self-actualizing. Greater-than yourself feeling.
Cons- possibly alienating, high chance of failure, sacrifice to personal life that comes with being a public figure/holding certain opinions. Limiting career path.

The majority of things you learn is useless and it's getting oversatured with young people who don't know what to graduate in but who want to make a lot of money. The thing is CS jobs aren't plenty as they think and they will be competing with chinks and pajeets. You don't need to go to uni for a CS degree desu. It's not like medicine or science where universities make the perfect environment for that since they have very expensive labs among other resources.

>fellow students throw around "college is a Meme"
>go to uni
>get finance degree & 25k debt
>get 50k € paying job I like
>no pressure, learn more and more, advance quickly in wage to 70k
>pay off debt comfy in two years
>class reunion after five years
>former fellow pals work in warehouses
>hate their life, earn about 25k each

Yeah, college is absolutely a meme. You all better skip school. No way this might be a bad advice for anyone, education is totally useless.

If you want to become something that requires University, i.e. lawyer or doctor then yeah. You have to inorder to reach that goal.

That's if you just want a job though.
If you want something else, greater than a job, then it's a waste of time
