Taking out loans to go to college is a fools move in an era where you can learn practically anything if you have discipline and passion through the internet. College education is largely unnecessary.

CountDog 12/20/21 1:04:12 AM #17:	Financial Aid will cover 4k for me total. That's around 4-5 classes tops. If I stretch it. That leaves about another 15k or so if I want to achieve an associate degree. And another 20k on top of that if I want a bachelor's. And that's assuming I don't eat food, own a car, pay rent. And don't work a full time job. With a full time job I'm looking at 4-8 years before completion. If I don't have a job, and can somehow have money to afford it. That will lower it to 4-6 years.

You learn what you need to know once you're there for the most part unless it's something like the medical field. Plus you could easily lie and say you went to college. I've seen people do this and succeed. The last thing employers really want to hear is the truth. They want to see nice things to put in their records to justify hiring you.

Then later I can either focus on getting a better job with more pay or go to University. Yeah, when I went to college, I was still dealing with major health issues. I got viral meningitis the summer before 9th grade. I went from being an A and B student in the top 15% of my class to failing classes for the 1st time. I couldn't remember stuff that I had learned 20 minutes earlier at times. It wasn't until I was maybe 22 or 23 that I realized it was the medication they put me on to control the seizures that was causing the memory loss issues. And then they kept increasing the dosage as the years went on, so it got worse. When I was in college, it was crazy bad. I was always losing my cell phone because I would often forget where I put it. Got on the bus with my backpack to go home. Got off the bus without my backpack. Didn't realize I didn't have my backpack until I was half way home from the bus stop. Went back and waited a couple hours for the bus to come back around... My backpack was gone. I wanted to get some cash, so I put my ATM card in the machine and withdrew money. I walked away without my ATM card. By the time I realized I didn't have my card, the machine had long since eaten my card. Had my mom overnight me a new card. Did the exact same thing the next day. All that on top of the fact that I was taking all prerequisite courses that had nothing to do with my major and I didn't care about any of them. I didn't want to spend another $13k for another year of all that. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg <cite>CableZL posted [p:961074079] in Why do man...

Got on the bus with my backpack to go home. Got off the bus without my backpack. Didn't realize I didn't have my backpack until I was half way home from the bus stop. Went back and waited a couple hours for the bus to come back around... My backpack was gone. I wanted to get some cash, so I put my ATM card in the machine and withdrew money. I walked away without my ATM card. By the time I realized I didn't have my card, the machine had long since eaten my card. Had my mom overnight me a new card. Did the exact same thing the next day. All that on top of the fact that I was taking all prerequisite courses that had nothing to do with my major and I didn't care about any of them. I didn't want to spend another $13k for another year of all that. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Colleges are no longer the centers of information they were before the internet existed. Anyone has the ability to learn anything they want. That's bullshit. Some jobs absolutely do need it. Medical and scientific fields for example. --- 2DS FC tempest 1478 9807 1205 <cite>Lil_Bit83 posted [p:961074097] in Why do man...

I dont think any liberal arts degrees teach anything worth a damn to make you more marketable in the job market I know i said college is a scam but i do have an associates in fine arts and while the things i learned did not help me the actual parts like having to memorize stuff and do research actually are useful. I should clarify that college is only a scam if you take out loans for it. If you get a degree for free that is a no brainer that it is worth it. The problem is most folks simply cannot get it for free. <cite>TrollTrace posted [p:961077527] in Why do man...

Hell, the only reason I finally went was because I found out my former jobs union offered a free associate degree program. --- Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds, along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest... is silence. <cite>rexcrk posted [p:961077564] in Why do man...
