good luck trying to get a good job... when they ask where your degree is tell them you're "self educated" lol
I'm sure you'll be hired on the spot
I mean I'm not saying you CAN'T get a job without a college education... but it sure does help
I actually got an AS,........because society says so.
We fucked ourselves up though. Back then you could find solid job str8 outta highschool. TRAIN ON THE JOB. Everything in life is common sense if you have the ability to learn and follow directions. Going to college is the new social norm. I say for most, young adults are just using it as an excuse to kill time and extend their childhood. But that only translates to getting a later start in life. It feels good for parents to say their kids are going to college and it feels good for the student themself to say their going to college.
There IS certain jobs I say that require extra learning however, doctors, scientists, engineers, lawyers and jobs of that nature.
Everyone is going for a BS in business this day in age. Eventually it'll all just cancel out. It all still comes down to the best man. Best communicator, best common sense, best physical features, best work experience. I ain't gonna hire a shy nerd that doesn't know how to communicate well with customers since he only stuck his head in books his entire life, rather than socializing out in the real world once in a while. I wouldn't hire an ugly person either, plain and simple, if that person was to deal with customers upfront. I'd take the finer women with the AS over the fat nerdy bitch with a BS and lack of real world communcation skills.
A lot of people who go on through higher learning lack those real world skills, experience and street smarts, that's all I'm trying to say. They are so one-track minded from the get go, they forget about how life in general works.
I personally don't feel any better with a degree. It's just a piece of paper stating I took the time to go to school. It was all redundant, general information to me.
You can laugh, but I personally learned more about shit on my own, through researching and reading on what I want to learn myself. Obviously, society won't except that, you need a piece of paper to prove it.
Education through school is cool I think if it focuses in on the one thing you want to be or learn about. However, your forced to take general classes and shit of that nature that kills time and only creates distractions. It's all about the money. They force you to take irrelevant classes so you can spend money.
