Board 8 > Do you know people who hate "College" people?

(+) Yeah! (+)

i'm sure you've seen many tv shows and movies where people say "Go get yourself a College Boy" or "Who do you think you are Ms College Girl" etc..

these people hate college educated people because they think they're snotty. have you met people like that before?

Most people who dislike "college" people are uneducated rednecks in my experience.

I have. I used to work down at the docks on the weekends, working for cruise ships. My co-workers waited for every opportunity to belittle me because of my college experience.

College people ARE snotty

college people that actually learn something and do useful things are good, too many of them wind up unemployed or working entry level jobs because they majored in something they knew damn well was useless but now blame society. remember all those pathetic "I am the 99%!" pics where unemployed college kids act like they're entitled to a good job because they were stupid and went thousands of dollars into debt for something that was never marketable in the first place? those are the college kids everyone should hate.

Yeah, I love it when my "barely graduated high school friends without a job" think I'm a dick and better than they are for going to college.

...I am.

"College People" that are really obnoxious super-liberals are the ones that people shouldn't like. I mean, I'm liberal, but some people are just awful.

I hate college people who are currently in college. This is because I live in a big college area and they're everywhere all the time. They all think they're such countercultural revolutionaries because they buy vintage clothes, go to art house movies, and play acoustic guitar (poorly) on the street corner. And a bunch of them live in my apartment complex and they're always having their friends over, taking up all the spots in the parking lot.

I guess they're not all bad, though. We have at least four dedicated tabletop gaming shops in the area (including one that advertises on TV!), and the mall has two arcades and a laser tag place. Probably you wouldn't see that without the college kids.

Pretty much everyone I interact with a nontrivial amount is in or went to college, so no.

College people are snotty for good reason.

Some have a good reason. Most don't.

Some college people are awful, but the same goes for most groups of people.

I've never heard "college people" used as a derogatory term. "Frat boy," yeah of course.

The college people that act like they're better than everyone else are annoying. And the ones that say stuff like "you'd understand if you went to college".

I think this is kind of an out of time period saying that sometimes is still used to describe a certain kind of person. Most everyone goes to college now.

Good luck in the education racket.

Most college kids are just as the name implies, a bunch of children who don't know any real s*** yet.

College people 21 and up a generally evened out and decent people.

I'll tell you who're annoying, are the people who are upset that they aren't as successful as the people who got a degree.

what if they want an art degree? obviously this person is not getting an art degree because they expect it to help them get a steady office job or something. it doesn't make them dumb. impractical, maybe, but that isn't the same thing.

Actually I do have a friend who graduated college and is working a landscaping job, and his co workers give him s*** for being a "college boy" and not being a good worker.

I know several people with college degrees now in their 30s who work as delivery drivers. One of them even has an engineering degree... he's actually not a delivery driver anymore. I'm not sure if he's still in jail or if he's out, but he was arrested after an altercation with 2 snotty college students over a parking spot in which they got aggressive and he fractured one of their skulls with a tire iron

No one goes to college just to learn, unless they're already have a lot of money and just want to learn something interesting. They go because it's supposed to help them be successful in the future.

I know a lot of liberal arts majors who are going just to learn more, and while they hope to get a job in the field, they realize that it might not end up being their career path. Not everyone who goes to college gets a job in the field they major in, even when they get a respectable job. My dad, for example, majored in Anthropology, but now makes good money working for Sprint doing completely unrelated things.


EDIT: In addition, a lot of those types of degrees "usefulness" can be significantly increased if you go beyond your bachelors.

A lot of misguided hatred everywhere in this topic. A better educated group of people should have no trouble understanding the proletariat mentality.

My dad did 4 years college for years of Grad school with a Chem major, then taught himself computer programming in the years afterward and now has a career based entirely on that. Yet he still doesn't regret going to college, it's so much more helpful for life than just "getting a job in my major"

Your dad paid far less for his college education, I bet. People used to work summer jobs which paid for most of the tuition. I totally understand when people question whether a college degree is worth it with insane tuition cost that's completely ignored the CPI index for over a decade now. I am not doing too bad for myself, but had I not gone to college for 5 years and started working instead upon HS graduation, my net worth would approach 7 figures soon.
