Topic	Bill Maher calls college a scam
Proto_Spark 06/05/21 11:56:23 PM #24:	matchboxsantana posted... I hate how the education industry has become such a scam. You should be able to get those jobs with a STEM degree. But they would rather fluff the curriculum and have you get the skills and meet the requirements on your own by getting a masters, a PhD and then a bunch of certifications. Don't forget the certifications expire and you need to keep taking them, it's literally a never ending scam. Don't forget in a lot of places, a Ph. D can actually hurt your chances of getting a job, not help. Because a Ph. D means your knowledge can be too focused, so a PhD is usually a mistake unless you want to go into academia (good luck) Your pushed to go study as much as possible, but then punished if you go too far. <cite>Proto_Spark posted [p:954693059] in Bill Maher...
