The trick is to just get a fake college degree. Get a mail order PhD, no one actually does due process any more

Depends more on your skills and who you know and a bit of luck. All of which are more important than a degree

College is a scam. I make enough to be considered middle class, and I just have a useless community college associate's degree. Meanwhile the coworker in the desk to the left of me has a Masters, makes the same, but spends hundreds a month paying back loans. The person to the right didn't even attempt college. This is at a bank's corporate office, btw

Well for about half of folks that get a college degree I dont think theyre much better off than high school graduates because they either got useless degrees when it comes to the job market or they dont know how to network or get their foot in the door to actually get their degree to work for them

Most employers arent gonna just hire you because you have a degree in the field, they want to know that have have actual experience and know what you are doing. Although plenty of employers may require one as a barrier of entry.

So many people go to college nowadays that a degree on its own likely isnt enough to be successful. You need to make and foster professional relationships with people and find any way you can to get experience.

If you ask me the smart folks are the ones that go to trade school to learn a practical skill.

Indeed, the only reason for high school is so that if even one of your classmates gets successful, you can try to nepotism a position off of them.


If you ask me the smart folks are the ones that go to trade school to learn a practical skill.


And this. Trades are worth their weight in gold... ehh, metaphorical gold. In the event of total prosperity or total economic collapse, tradesmen still are useful.

If you go into sales, your income potential is higher than somebody who got a degree and is attempting a traditional career path.

That said, a lot of jobs which don't require a college degree now want people with degrees since college degrees are absurdly common and, between higher enrollment and lowered standards, have largely become devalued.

I think you mean due diligence. Due process is what men accused of sexual assault don't get.

If you aren't going to get a stem degree/masters/PhD, or become an elite businessman with an MBA or a stockbroker, then you best bet is to learn a trade

Truth be told, learning a trade would probably serve you better than most of those other options. Become an electrician or some shit

And also I always have the scammers Carl Baugh and Kent Hovind in mind for this, they have self-appointed PhDs and often use it for appeal to authority fallacies.

Having a degree is pretty much confirmation to prospective employers that you're willing and able to put up with years of meaningless and irrelevant bullshit before doing what you actually wanted to do.
