>>15657886

>>15657886
>What would you define as the watershed moment, where academic institutions abandoned the original purpose of universities?
You have it the wrong way around.
Universities started with law and theology.
The ancient museums and what not were about learning, and they had vastly different structure and practices.
Modern universities had the purpose of training state functionaries and the like, and chained in with that basic education in mathematics.
The university as a place for science is an enlightenment development where the guys who came up with new mathematics and science then taught at universities, but their community was the republic of letters not the universities and soon after the royal societies and their appointed sinecures.

oof, I can smell your whole life story just from this post. Maybe you could've switched out to a different major. Something along the lines of art or dance like Dylan would've allowed even a retard like yourself to graduate if you tried hard enough. At least you would have had some degree instead of being a bum.

>>15658398
Most of the time you actually have to pick a specialization at least. A "Bachelor of Arts" seems like even more of a fake degree than your bog-standard Communications or Liberal Studies. They're either too embarrassed to name his actual major because it's something like poetry or finger-painting, or Evergreen offers the lowest bar degree possible at any accredited school. Which makes sense given that their acceptance rate is 98% and enrollment appears to be in decline for decades now.

>>15657904
For all intensive purposes, his point is valid

>>15658519
"Bachelor of Arts" is the type of degree, not the major concentration. It generally connotes more breadth and less depth than a Bachelor of Science degree, e.g., if you want to teach mathematics to children you would get a dual BA in mathematics and education, if you want to go on to study math in grad school you would get a BS instead, a Liberal Studies or Communications major would usually be working toward a BA. What you are thinking of is called a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Evergreen is big on interdisciplinary roll-your-own-major degrees which is probably why the major isn't given.

>>15658646
>For all intensive purposes, his point is valid
Bone apple tea

>>15659068
Yeah I knew all that, maybe my post was unclear. I've just never heard of anyone being awarded a Bachelor of Arts in isolation without a listed major. But you're right it's probably just some weird Evergreen thing.

>>15658463
nice cope, you're desperate to come up with an excuse for why you're better than that downie, but you can't think up any

>>15657886
The watershed moment was whenever going to college implied getting a good job in everyone’s mind (or that you only went SO you could get a good job).

The bar should be passing a graduate real analysis class. If you can, then you should be deemed to be at least somewhat intelligent.

>>15660680
people go to college as a means of work avoidance. people who are developmentally delayed wish to remain schoolchild because they're not willing to join the adult world and become contributing members of society

>>15661322
>people go to college as a means of work avoidance
Possibly true today. I graduated from tech school in 2004 and spent six months looking for a job, any job, before I enrolled in college. Couldn't even get a job at McDonald's back then. Though I did get a student job once I enrolled.

>>15661322
Management positions are often barred behind a degree requirement. I've met people that stay in school as a means of work avoidance but they go to grad school. The kids who go right out of high school and get a degree in something stupid at a state school are genuinely making a good professional move. Where it gets questionable is going into mountains of debt for a degree in something stupid at a prestigious university. That move often doesn't pay off.

>>15661322

>>15657886
>where academic institutions abandoned the original purpose of universities?
The seeds were probably planted with the GI bill.
Universities got their first big taste of government subsidies with it.
The government started subsidizing student loans in 1965 with FFEL.
That is when shit really started sliding.
Add all of the civil rights nonsense that they used to water down the admission standards for activist reasons and you get to where we are.

I think the problem is unnoticed/unresolved because how people view the function of universities has changed.
They used to be viewed as filters that find and concentrate the innate talent that exists.
At some point the politics got involved because the equity crowd noticed the people who passed the filters were performing better economically.
Originally, things were fine (likely optimal) when universities retained their standards and there was extra money for the poor geniuses who couldn't overcome the tuition barrier.
But then they looked at the numbers and found blacks couldn't overcome the admission standards at the same rate as whites and cried racism until the admission standards were watered down.
Things were still functional (despite the inflated cost due to more people passing the admissions standards) since you could still get an idea of who was quality on the back end by looking at GPA.
But then they looked at the numbers and found blacks couldn't achieve a high GPA at the same rate as whites and cried racism until the curriculum/grading standards were watered down.

We are here. We have a non-functional filter that somehow costs way more. We have a private sector which is forced to pretend the credentials on paper have meaning (lest they be accused of discrimination). The private sector also has its hands tied when looking at promotions.
Almost all quality control is gone.

>>15657886
>"I have a high IQ becaususe i have a college degree"
Nobody said this. The opposite is the case. For high IQ people a degree is trivial and hence not an achievement worth mentioning. Only midwits care about degrees.

>>15662017
>But then they looked at the numbers and found blacks couldn't overcome the admission standards at the same rate as whites and cried racism until the admission standards were watered down.

When, specifically, did this occur?

>>15657939
>>15657944
Pretty much yeah

>>15662671
nice try degreelet

>>15663355
Vaguely, it started around the early 70s. It was mostly a cultural push from activist students/administrators post desegregation.
The colleges were willing participants and shit got so out of hand that some states started passing laws (in the 80s and 90s) to prevent consideration of race because so many unqualified blacks were getting in and displacing other more qualified students.
Ironically, the law seems to have been mostly against all of the university shenanigans to unfairly admit blacks throughout the decades.
The lowering of the bar and pursuit of quantity over quality seems to be the response of the universities in order to still let in all of the blacks while not running afoul of the law.

Steve Jobs went there

>>15657886
The downfall began when universities starting becoming political, and students were being propagated and radicalized to "fight the power", then later on down the road, students began to succumb to their vices of drugs, alcohol and sex, it became the focus point for most students that want to go university, to be free from restrictive parents and enjoy for the vices. Now, it's inclusivity, not only for profitable gain, but to dilute the fields of academia with useless people that shouldn't have a degree in the first place.

>>15667788
>drugs, alcohol and sex, it became the focus point for most students that want to go university, to be free from restrictive parents and enjoy for the vices.
just more subversion of society by the jewish organized crime gangs who control and profit massively from those vice industries.
what was once a meaningful, noble institution of learning has been turned into a cash cow for the jews, who promote all of those vices to children using their media empire and then send the children off to university so that they can feed the jewish vice industries profits

>>15657886

>>15671414
You can contribute to the genocide of your race that way. Nothing more based than that.

Y-you do have internship or prior full-time experience in the domain you're trying to get your advanced degree in, right anon?

>>15657886
Going to university does not embody willingness to perform, nor does it embody intelligence..
For most, it is much rather a part of a specific modern day lifestyle, a sort of expectation, a ritual, which is why it has been watered down so much.
The willingness to spend money, lack of results upon failure, as well as the capitalistic nature of this part of the educational system, require it to continually lower the standards, in the quest of getting people to pay more money, while ultimately teaching less and less useful information.
The real value is merely social, as people who regret wasting their time and money based on their retarded normie flock behavior, continue to gatekeep and mock people who made a technically better decision.
Most people should not get into university.
There should be more trade schools, specific to useful modern jobs.
It is worth mentioning, that ideologists took the opportunity to usurp the capacity of the university system, after the fall of the CCCP, as politicians and media let down their guard, which causes all the political issues.
Competency will fade away extremely quickly in the next few years, there will be political clashes, educational standards for both teachers and students will fall.
In short, this is an enormous bubble. A debt trap, which is going to explode in the 2040s.
Only God knows what is going to happen in conjunction with the other events of the time. For all intents and purposes, I do not see how this problem could be resolved with reforms now.
Go to university, if you feel the need for feeling good about yourself, based on societal flock behavior reaffirming you wasting your time and money on a degree that has very little value outside of that same flock behavior.
In a perfect world, you would go based on genuine interest in something like mechanical engineering, biology or anthropology, not based on the illusion of economic value and elitism, stemming from mass delusion.

most people get college degrees, anyone can get one, even downies. the people who don't bother getting one are the people who are high iq enough to realize its just a big waste of time, just like high school was

college degrees per se barely tell you anything about an individual.
that should be a white pill though, even if you're a retarded neet like a lot of people on this shitty board you are most definitely mentally gifted enough to live a successful life, but whatever your score is, you're not guaranteed a positive outcome.

>>15682588

No, it only means that the lowest graduate IQ is below 100.

>>15658382
Conservatives are retard who beg their children to pay the Jew back rather than beating the Jew to a pulp and looting their shekel chest

>>15685767
No, he's right. If the median IQ is 100, and more than 50% of the population is getting college degrees, then the lowest IQ graduate should be below 100 IQ. I guess they could be exactly 100 IQ, but in theory the chance of being exactly 100 IQ is zero.
Of course the actual proportion of college graduates is still below 50%, unless you include Associate's degrees and trade schools.

If even downies can get degrees, then morons without degrees are even more stupid than people with downs syndrome

>>15686922

Downies suffer from so many neurological and motoric issues that any IQ tests given to them must account for the elementary difficulties they face in carrying out those tasks.

Went to my state school, which only required a 50th percentile at the time. After I’m there for a bit we are in the grad student office and start to talk about the physics gre. In a room of 1st and second year grad students with probably 15 international and 10 domestic, I was the only American who met the requirement. Turns out my school will conditionally accept you as long as you hit the 50th percentile within two years of being there. I became so disillusioned with American education in that moment.

If they're mainly fashion merchandising degrees from Full Sail University, it just means lots of black women have tons of student loan debt and career prospects that are unaffected by having a degree.

>>15724410
You seem to be awfully upset about being obviously low IQ

>>15723101
It means having a college degree signifies low IQ

>>15723101
It means not having a degree implies you're even less intelligent than a downie

>>15726845
Degrees have far more to do with compliance than intelligence.

>>15726847
Cope

>>15726877
You're the one who must cope.

You are a schizophrenic lefty college kiddie mutt who thinks his degree is going to be useful.

I have one, serious deal with plenty achievements, I am obviously white and claim here and now, it's useless

This is what a university graduate looks like
Show the children
Especially the children of color

>>15700708
Oh you didn’t know? There was a “study” that claimed “children” death from shooting tripled or something in USA. The “scientists” used age 1-19 to push their claim under name of “children and “teens”
Yes 1-19, because that one extra year is when so many gangbanging hoorats die in gang wars and it could inflate the numbers
Science turning into a literal joke nowadays

how would you feel in this situation if you hadn't eaten breakfast?

I have a degree in sociology and it's definately a proof of intelligence and education. I consider myself smarter than most people.

>inb4 "but muh STEM"
STEM people live in their isolated bubble with math and equations. They are functionally retarded outside of their bubble. Recently I talked to a physicist who didn't even know what pansexual means. Can you imagine being that uneducated?

I'll act as if not.

The difference is that 80% of physicists can easily accurately reconstruct what "pansexual" could mean, whereas not even 20% of sociologists could a) understand what the term "linear operator" refers to, but b) more importantly, they could never even get it, even if explained, i.e. it's not related to what word you use for it.

>where do 80% and 20% come from? Sources?
You can't use indeterminate/undefined variables which only stand in an inequality relation with each other with low IQs.

I took out subsidized loans. I had the money, but if you offer me a loan and say tax payers will cover interest for the next 4 years, I'd be an idiot not to take. Enjoy making those payments for me wagies. I'll consider it again in 4 years when inflation has reduced the loans value by another 10% at least lmao

>>15671774
Kek imagine studying at uni and not realising the only thing that matters is exploiting the chance to get your foot in the door through meme internships. Blank CV = permanently fucked, so many people then end up going down the COPE pipeline of graduate school, reach the end, and are STILL unemployable because their CV IS BLANK and HR don't want to hear 'in X uni project' as the answer to every interview question. Sad, but they never listen, not my problem.

Got a £70k software engineering job in a FAGMAN company with a maths undergrad degree. High in the UK compared to other STEM (engineers like £25k starting kek) because it is a shithole, but a relative W is a relative W.

Are you a downie?

IQ occurs naturally on the upper echelons of IQ. You, perhaps, unlike I, have probably not scored and IQ point or took any sort of legitimate test.

IQ is for super intellectuals only.

>The declining value of attending university was already being discussed when boomers were most of the student body
The boomer problem was that a lot of people who would have otherwise never bothered with attending university decided to go as a means of avoiding the Vietnam draft. Thats when the "underwater basket weaving degree" meme got started.

>>15678943
They really should split research and professional degrees. An MBA is qualitatively nothing like an MS in a STEM field.

My private middle school was more academically difficult than my four years at a top 25 state university.

>>15766421
You had an easy time later on in your education because you studied harder than most people do early on. Not sure what point you're trying to make. Are you saying Evergreen is academically challenging because its a private school?

>>15658349
Did he graduate because he had an objective sense of beauty and form or because he was unable to perceive objective aesthetics and therefore unaffected by "modern arts" that are intentionally ugly?

>>15766711
>Evergreen is academically challenging because…
…all of the students cripple themselves intellectually with massive amounts of mind bending drugs

>>15766711
Evergreen is a public university, which should tell you something about the State of Washington since it funds this trash.

They're probably the ones making money selling drugs to the students

How does a downie get a college degree? Aren't college degrees only supposed to be for smart people?

>>15657908
So you are saying there are super retards. Makes sense.

>>15773678
>Aren't college degrees only supposed to be for smart people?
No, college degrees are magic talismans that grant extra income. Everyone is entitled to a college degree talisman.

>>15750260
oh lawd, the chance of randomly corralling 4 130+s (less than 1% of the pop) in a venue that specifically is aimed at a mid to low IQ audience, are infinitesimal.
Glad they managed that feat!

>>15773742
If everyone, even the completely retarded downies, gets an extra income talisman then doesn't that just mean they're all getting average income, but wasting a large percentage of their life and a few hundred thousand dollars sitting through an extra 4 years of school to do it?

>>15774801
No, the talisman is magical and you're a racist for even questioning it.

>>15773749
anon did you never take a statistics course? 130 is just 2 SD's in a normal distribution. That's not less than 1% each... it's ~2.2% each.

if you meant the cumulative odds of getting 4 of them, disregard, but 1% would be several orders of magnitude larger than necessary, and weakens your point

>>15775121
I didn't say 130, I said, 130+, and if you regard the pic I quoted, indeed no one there is 130.
Please use your eyes, zoomie undergrad.

>>15775510
Also add in that two of the 130+ are female, which are far less common at that level than males.

>>15657909

>>15677349
Michigan does the same

>>15781681
No it doesn't. Took me less than a minute to find that LSA degrees at the University of Michigan only require three credit hours of qualitative reasoning, which can be satisfied by a single economics, astronomy, oceans explorations, intro to statistics, elementary programming concepts, or any of a couple dozen other freshman level gimme classes.
Why would you like about something so easy to check? Please help me understand what motivates you to post false shit like that.
