RE: The Racket that is Private College: Chapter One
I find they teach you very little in school so when you leave you can't do anything hence can't get a job. So you go to uni and are indebted for the privilege and still not educated in the right way just in the traditional way. So when you get to 25/30 you still have no skills to be part of the work force. Yet now you owe 100k to the state
If it looks like a scam, smells like a scam and taste like a scam the school is a scam
I agree that it's a scam, but I don't agree that "they" teach very little. There are some serious offenders that truly do not teach their students, several of which have been forced to close their doors in recent years. However, the price for an education that still serves as the primary mechanism by which to advance one's career or quality of life is excessive, and the accountability of how those dollars are used doesn't exist.
Yes i agree and shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush :)
Hard not to since those hits close to home for so many. I think the solution is for people to stop pursuing formal degrees and instead go for certificates, workshops, and one-off trainings. Expect development from your employer and take advantage of that.
Yes agreed.. I did an apprenticeship including specific courses needs to achieve it. All worked out fine and never acquired any debt
You played it right!
