This is such great news. I'm a grandma pede about to be 70. Both my brothers got a college education, my sister and I did not. She made it to bank manager and owner of a mortgage company with her husband, and my career included, Cargo Loss and Damage claim supervisor, I managed a retail store, worked in purchasing for a corporation and the last 25 years I have worked for a CPA. Some of the stupidest people I know have graduated college and some of the smartest did not.
What people don’t realize is that statistic is from like the 60s. When your family was already wealthy and so you went to college to kill time to you were mature enough to get a big boy job with Family and Co. so these people were already going to be wealthy. Now we’ve got a bunch of kids going to get business majors and graduating and coming home to their single parent mother (thanks Dems for destroying Christianity and supporting radical feminism) who probably doesn’t have many business connections because she’s too busy trying to raise kids.
My vendor went to school and studied the difference between communism and socialism. Does not have a job pertaining to that "because I just got to get a little more education and maybe a college will take me or I can write papers."
He constantly complains about being in debt and not making enough money.
The student loan crisis is really the studies major crisis. 150-300K for a Wikipedia degree. Gender studies is the worst offender because they don’t even get their central premise right.
for which there is no job outside of the university
The big problem is that there are jobs for that now. Diversity officers. These positions need to be completely banned nationwide and every such degree holder needs to be picking up garbage for the rest of their lives.
Not just a bunch of women taking useless degrees. The cucking of the nation really got fired up when they started enrolling men in these useless courses too. The left actively hate success - in education or business. Back in 1970s UK the labor party stopped state run schools from providing any advanced classes for those who were more proficient in a subject. Every subject had to be dumbed down to the lowest denominator. This seems to be the way that the left is going in the U.S. See how they react to the idea of STEM?
Nothing better than spending four years in college where 75% of the classes you take have nothing to do with the profession you're choosing to spend the rest of your life doing.
I wonder about that. My company will pay partial tuition for folks who want to study for a new degree. The vast majority of them always go for (and complete) business bachelors degrees.
Now I work a call center environment. How many of these bozos end up as CEOs? Zip. How many of them are still taking calls like nothing ever changed? Yup, all of them.
Here's the pro tip from someone who knows what he's talking about (me) :
Get a masters. MBA in finance is fine. That basically opens up the doors people previously thought a Bachelors in business opens up. The whole idea of a 4 year degree in business is stupid anyway. Actual business, hate to say it but you're either born with it or you aren't. Get in through the finance side and stick with it. IMO. Look into a CFA, and you're making money doing what people think a Business degree was gonna have them doing.
I'm 36, degree in business that I am still paying off, and it did absolutely nothing to help me get jobs throughout my career in IT, which i learned on my own and have done very well for myself and family.
I can't even fathom what it would be like to have the extra ~$100,000 I have been paying off for the past 15 years.
Unless you go in as a 17/18 year old who knows exactly what they want to study, in a STEM field, college is the biggest scam in the world. I did have a lot of fun drinking though.
It's crazy. Our poor parents didn't know any better. My dad was able to pay his way through college and got a good joh fresh out. It's maddening that they've watered it down so much. I wish I would've went into plumbing instead of college. I'd have zero debt and be skilled enough to start my own business.
Exactly. It's basically an expensive sleep away camp for adults to get inebriated and hook up. There is a very clear difference in lifestyle of STEM vs Liberal Arts degrees.
Nobody can destroy Christianity. Religion maybe but not Christianity. Christians do more to ruin it than unbelievers. They definitely are persecuting us.
Now convince SCOTUS to revisit the disparate impact theory they invented in Griggs vs Duke Power (1971). That will be a necessary step on the way towards introducing more pre-employment skills testing.
I guess I shouldn't be lazy, I can look it up and I will. I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm trying to read more nonfiction of various topics nowadays. This is such a random topic I had to ask.
Edit - looked it up and the only thing I can find is muh equality written by the NAACP lawyer. Might be worth a read, nothing wrong with hearing the other side. Would love a Sowell take on it though.
This might be the biggest and best thing that I’ve ever heard a president, in my lifetime, say.
I didn’t go to college. I went to the military. I make great money, and am one of the highest performing at my company in my role, and am the only one without a college education. I learned on my own and figured out a way to market my talents.
... oh wait, it’s probably just my white privilege.
He effectively canceled all the "YOU HAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE TO GET A JOB" parrots
Fuck yesh
Now do the same at the Federal Reserve
De-Yale the Fed

"Grievance Study Degrees"
That should be a meme! :)
Let's dial it up a bit, really get their knickers in a twist:
"Grievance Religion Degree"
The big problem is that there are jobs for that now. Diversity officers. These positions need to be completely banned nationwide and every such degree holder needs to be picking up garbage for the rest of their lives.
"Outside of the university" and government! The Fed hires based on degree. A minority with a degree is an express ticket in government.
Those people wouldn't last a day picking up trash. I got more respect for a garbage collector than a hundred doctors of Gender Studies.

It’s a system based on jealousy

I think the problem is too many people getting useless degrees, not people getting practical degrees and not knowing how to use them.

This is YUGE!
For Federal Govt work only
It’s a start.

Any books on this?

No. We did it.
