Its really just a way to amask a bunch of debt and you dont really get anything in return. I have a few coworkers at Bloomingdales that have college degrees and we work the same job.

tbh prager U is better than any college, and its free. Thats how you know its real. They dont profit.

PragerU is primarily deranged propaganda with little bearing on reality. They've got a decent video on the civil war and that is basically it.

You know, a simple Google search of the institute in question is enough to tell that it doesn't give degrees, nor is it accredited, nor is it even a learning institution of any sort.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PragerU

From PragerU Wikipedia page
PragerU is not a university or academic institution,[5][4] and does not hold classes, grant certifications or diplomas, and is not accredited by any recognized body.[6]


Also, the site itself just says this out-right: https://www.prageru.com/faq/

Are you an accredited university?
No, PragerU is not a university, nor do we claim to be. We do not offer degrees. However, we are the most influential online resource for explaining the concepts that have made America great.

The value of a college education is the ultimate YMMV. In the case of elite schools, the value generally is less about the education than it is about the connections. In the case of the average school, you don't have the connections so it's just the education. For subpar schools, it's neither connections nor education (so it's just for the degree itself).

And most people with monstrous debt either planned poorly, didn't work in HS and college to offset that debt, or made a tactical decision regarding a more expensive education (particularly the case with medical fields). I didn't have any debt when I graduated because I worked through most of high school and all of college. In fact, I went to college full-time while generally working full-time. Meanwhile I had classmates who claimed that they couldn't hold down a part-time job while studying... yet they wasted so much of their time shitting around.

Well, the first half of their post is a common grievance and therefore understandable. The second part is a reference to something very specific and somewhat fringe.

If you go to College to do a degree for a job that ACTUALLY requires it, it's not bad.

If you go to College to "get a degree," then it is sorta useless. I mean what kind of moron goes there to go a useless degree like gender studies?

The guy said he owns a company that makes millions and they didnt go to college.

I dont knock anyone who goes to college. I dont know women that are strippers. Both just arent for me, and Ive been asked to do both. So sorry not sorry.

We all know you couldn't meet the minimum qualification standards to make into an actual institution of higher learning, TC.
And with Trump University shut down by the government for fraud before you could attend, you were left with no options.

Overlooking the hilarity of you using "who's" instead of "whose" right after mocking another person's intelligence, I'm also pretty curious because they seemed to recognize Aaantlion which is weird since I haven't used it that much on PotD (particularly after starting to use Broken Zeus)

I have a Bachelor's degree in IT, now working in programming, but only 2/5 my years spent earning my piece of paper have really benefitted me.

I don't regret my decision, but anyone committed to learning the material can acquire this knowledge from YouTube channels.

College is a fucking joke. I hated school, so much unnecessary stress and wasted $.

The irony of a gimmick alt accusing me of doing something gimmicky is lost on no one.

I think KBE was just trying to do a backhanded insult by associating my remarks with their (potentially insincere) somewhat conservative set of remarks rather than make an alt accusation.

College is useful for a lot of degrees. A lot of jobs ask that applicants have degrees as well. Not even specific degrees. Just a degree.

o u!

However, I will mention that the board has had at least a few people who legitimately seemed to be fans of PragerU so the assertion isn't completely out of the blUe (or, at least, not an unusual or improbable belief). Any assumption is insincerity is more the fact that the account is almost certainly an alt.
