Higher Education Greedy Overrated and Outdated

2018

Synopsis

Those who have attended higher academia sell it as the be all and end all of human development. They spread the lie that you cannot have a happy and successful life without having attended college. Funny how their sales pitch sounds so similar to the ones who try to pitch the idea of marriage.

The truth is that millions upon millions of happy and successful people have either never attended traditional colleges or stuck around long enough to graduate.

With the growth of trade schools and technology the world is a changing place.
Colleges were invented centuries ago and still function as if they are preparing students for a world dominated by horse drawn carriages.

Getting an education is important as long as you consider the reasons why you are going through the trouble. Is it for a career that will support you and a future family for a lifetime or for a piece of paper that testifies to the fact that you attended a name brand college and all it cost you was around two hundred thousand dollars in loan and debts. And if that degree is not in a high paying high in demand field then it should have stamped on the back of it swindled and about to be pimped out for the next ten to twenty years to pay back those loans.
