What's wrong with student loans? I wouldn't have been able to attend college otherwise, and my degree basically directly led to a promotion and more responsibility at work. The 401k is also great because I don't have to work at the same job for 50 years just to be able retire.

Not really. Debt is only scary if you fear working, and can't envision paying it off. My students loans should be paid off before 30. I currently work about 50-60 hours a week at my job for the OT, and plan on working two full-time jobs once I get my teaching certificate.

Stop investing in stocks, and put all your extra money into your loans UNTIL your highest interest rate is 4% or less.

You stocks might return 6% annually, long term. You're losing 8% a year on the money you have in your 8% loans.
Apply the same logic to whatever other debt you have too. I'm hoping you have your credit card on auto-pay every month.

you think having a degree is competitive when thats the advice that every other normie was sold (and bought into wholeheartedly?)

checked, I don't think you're a failure, I barely know anything about your life, but you work so much more than I do and have so much less. It provides a strange sort of foil to my existence. My fear for my future is that I'm practically unemployable in the world of bourgie achievements on Linkedin (not that I'd want to work in it anyway), but when I remember I have more in assets than most of the people who exist in that world have in debt, it reminds that I do have the potential to make it outside that system.

Another thing is if you get damn lucky with your house/apt. I got my house during the last housing shit fest. Also took advantage of the previous owners own incompetence (they attempted to redo the basement; make it into an entertainment room,they fucked up the electrical a bit). The result? I pay only $400 a month for a 3 bed house w 1 & 1/2 bath, basement w/garage and nice rear deck. The main level was totally redone; tile, high end appliances, gas fireplace. So people look at the house (and car) and they assume I'm a well off fucker when in reality I just got lucky.

Part of the reason I went to college was so that if I ever joined the military either voluntarily or via draft, I would be an officer. My father was enlisted for 24 years so I know secondhand how shitty that life can be. I'd take a 41k insurance policy for a better life in the event of national emergency. It's a longshot, but military service is still a potential obligation for every male citizen, and everyone should be aware of it.

Not really. As a history major I only ever needed Word and PowerPoint for class. I used excel once before and that was for a science lab I almost failed. The important thing about education isn't just learning what they teach you. It's about learning to teach yourself, which I can easily attribute to the rigors of the college.

It's a piece of paper that says you know how to read/write/do basic algebra and most likely know the basics of using a computer. That's the basic part of it. In theory your major also says that you know more than average about what the specialty is.

Unless you did STEM or some professional certification during your bachelor's, it most likely won't pay off immediately. Where it does pay off is if you stay in a field where most of your peers are relatively uneducated, say for instance, warehousing, construction, food industry, trucking or some other job labor intensive job.


In these industries you have a higher chance at moving up the ladder because certain management positions may require an education. I've only been at my job for a year, and I'm already next in line for an entry level management position because of my degree and work ethic. The 40k it costs to go to school is nothing compared to the potential annual 70k-120k I could get for moving up in the company I work for.

Honestly dude, if you inherited 200k don't bother comparing yourself to other black people, or even most white people for that matter. Inheriting a large sum of money and going "hurr durr I'm better than average" is like winning a foot race where all your competition is wearing lead shoes then bragging about getting the gold.

I'm fortunate enough that my parents were able to pay for my first car at 18 (which I still drive), still provide a roof over my head, and all other the hidden costs of sending a kid to college, but I still had to work my way through school if I wanted anything extra like booze.

You're right but this is how most people get wealthy. Through inheritance and off the backs off other people (in this case my dad). Im not even wealthy. I know not to take this opportunity for granted. I had to work my whole way through college and the only reason I don't have any college debt is because my dad was a disabled vet.

Yes it's for an advanced degree. I have a BA in communications and Masters in Communications. It just sucked i had to move back home as not as much demand for the degree as I had thought.

At the end of the day it's just money. He'll either get rich if his degree pays off, or just live in a mountain of debt until he dies.

Yea but you also have to keep in mind that career military guys are extremely aggressive people, even if they hide it well.

It's not a race thing. I honestly think too many blacks our buy into the rap culture that you selling drugs and shooting people is cool. I work with grown men in their late 20's and 30s with families who still idolized drug dealers and crime lords.

For whatever reason they think fast money is the best way to make it instead of realizing that most real wealth is built gradually over time.

Ask your average normie with only a GED/HS diploma to write you a 1 page essay or do a list of algebra problems and you'll quickly realize that either those skills aren't as common as you think. Our public education system sucks and most people don't actually polish or continue using their academic skills at work so they wither away.

A HS diploma used to be enough, but standards in schools have actually fallen over the last 30 years which is why degrees are required now.
