College Conspiracy

IMO for hundreds of years apprenticeship has been the best form of education. How many years did people basically have there father , uncle , or family friend teach them how to make a living whether it be carpentry, blacksmith, backer, banker, farmer. ect.

I learn by DOING, not by sitting in a classroom.
 
Making good money is not easy whether you have a degree or not. Everyone's situation and path will be different. For instance if your dad owns a very successful concrete business that you work for then what good is a degree if thats what you want to do? If you want to be a doctor then you need that degree.

Everyone for themselves out there. You must figure out what it is that you want to do for the rest of your life and take the necessary steps to get there. College may or may not be a necessary step to get there.

I started selling stuff on ebay all throughout highschool and it eventually turned into a very successful gig. I bought used parts like memory , graphics cards, hard drives, ect in bulk and resold them singularly. I made enough so that I could take the time to learn how to trade. Mind you that I worked my ass off to get where I am today. I started as selling crap from garage sales and worked my way up. I quit the whole thing because I kept getting fraudulent credit card transactions on large items and paypal would always freeze my account for a month or so every time it happened . I then learned trading and have been surviving for almost 4 years now. Don't get me wrong, I had paid my tuition for learning how to trade , 5 figures and many many 70+ hour weeks

As my favorite Mark Haines would say, "there is no free Pass"
 
yea i understand where your coming from im doing ok with this trading thing. Im also investing in physical silver but everyone doesn't see the vision i see. I tell them i get my education online they look at me like im smoking dope. Also the way people with degrees are competing they are starting to accept smaller salaries in a inflated economy.
 
Quote from peilthetraveler:

Yes, because people absolutely can not learn mathmatics or science unless they are in an accredited school that they have paid a minimum of $10,000 per year to be at. Its impossible! Something happens with the human brain that it just cant read math or science books outside of university walls!


(Hope you picked up on the sarcasm because I was laying it on pretty thick)

So, just so I have is straight. If you have wealth it makes you intelligent and sophiticated. It it a self propagating industry there are many ways there is a sense of lableism when one has a degree. It really says an individual is moldable and ready to be indoctrinated of corperate life. Knowledge is passed in the educational enviroment which is only part of the picture. The other part is the rubber stamp you get upon graduation. I have had to work with MBA's that did not have a clue as how to get a task completed let alone initiated. Looking at the history of education and universities is quite intersting. A cousin of mine works at a University in PA.It is just the system, the way it is, nothing is going to change it. If more a profitable way is found then it may or may not be adopted. Making future wage slaves is the highest priority of and social system.

You're fucking stupid. You can only go so far with that, but in the end you need to learn from professionals who know what they're doing. Experience is KEY and you want to learn the RIGHT way to do stuff without making mistakes. You're going to be an engineer by reading a book? Get real.

You mean learn from a professional who is actually doing the profession, like, learn on the job? Or do you mean learn from an academic who just studies theory and has minimal, if any, actual work experience. Which one is more likely to teach at college?

Whatever you do in life, career wise, you learn most of it if not almost all of it, in the first job that suits that career. This is not even debatable. Major investment banks put graduates through a crash course that basically crams 2-3 years of business school into a 3 month program. Many kids get hired out of college and jump into fields that have nothing to do with their major. They learn on the job.

Medicine, pharmacology & law fall into different categories, particularly medicine where a big part of your schooling is actual on site experience. But for most majors, you can cram those 2-4 year degrees into months.
 
As a college guy myself I know its weakness, industry abuses and much more. But still, education is great, especially for a better paycheck and professional accomplishment.

But it is amazing to see how many of you who have never taken a step inside a college classroom know so much about it.

You are so quick in proclaiming college uselessness that all you are confirming is how ignorant you can be.

You don’t need a college degree to be successful, but you won’t be successful by making college education look bad.

GOOD LUCK.:D
 
If colleges were producing such geniuses why are we in the positions we are today? The people who are changing this world didnt learn what they had to in college.
 
college and univ. education is just another way society invented to suck the money out of people.

same with taxes, big pharma, fashion.
monetary system can only survive if customers will SPEND.

brick and mortar schools are not needed now. ALL knowledge is on the Internet for FREE.

and yeah, you can only learn from actual experience, never from books.

worse,many poor souls take debt to study. 25 year old and already $25k in debt. perfect slave for the next 25 years.
