RE: Higher Education in the USA - Ripoff or Merely a Lost Cause?
Back in the old days I went to university so I could sink piss, ride my motorbikes, and go to concerts.
I got a degree but it was a total waste of time - I never used it.
But the holiday jobs covered my costs no problem, and that was where I learned useful stuff.
Anyone who pays big money for a degree is getting shafted.
Some still do that expect they don’t even earn a degree anymore and try and get government to pay for it while also gaining other finical help for food and housing.
Was stuck in a couple of classes a few years ago with people who showed up only holding a cellphone. They spent the entire class time hitting on other people trying find a date for the night. While saying over and over their left over grant money has not come in yet and they really need another new pair of shoes or whatever it was.
They would flunk out of the semester. They then gloat about all they had to do was file some paperwork and come up with some excuses as why they failed to be given a second chance at grant money to do another semester. Thankfully after that they get cut off and move onto the next thing they find to take advantage of.
Perfect training for a job in government!
They told him he could not eat an entire motorcycle but he sure showed them!
