Not to mention the whole tribal nepotism issue from (((them)))
What’s that
Is that an epic merchant meme
most people in IE should go to college
ehhhhh
College is cool!
College is necessary to gain institutional power

@Danpat Let's be respectful fellas.
When adults of working class that otherwise should be working, are instead studying, taking out debt to do so, because society told them it’s a smart idea, there’s a problem
@DixieBoy76 - KY we generally want people to do well and be able to afford homes and be able to start families earlier than their 30s. It seems like (it may depend on the area), but at least for where I come from, trade school is not nearly advertised enough
You’re just kinda making some really broad generalizations about a pretty elaborate and necessary system
Alright well how bout some actual substance instead of just no I’m right
Not at all lmao
people should make more pragmatic choices in college, sure
but it's a ticket to the dance
trades are good too, especially if you start your own business
College isn't right for everyone, and we definitely have more people going than should be
It’s the same thing with the federal reserve is gay argument. Yeah the academic system right now is pretty rough because of who’s at the head. But it’s so deeply tangled with the job market at this point to reject the system is a setback not worth taking
We should be utilizing and trying to work our way to these systems not completely shying away from them
What if we founded Evropa University? Phd gang rise up
@Kingfish what a straw man nobody ever said education was inherently bad

I wouldn't make a blanket statement like "most people in IE should go". You should look at your financial situation, how you did in high school, what you want to do in life, your family situation, etc, and make a calculated decision. I think it's dangerous the way we pressure teenagers into it like it's something they have to do. @NateDahl76
@Danpat I just popped in here for 3 seconds and already I notice you didn't heed Ian's message tagging you
Im not allowed to disagree with someone?
I agree to an extent @Jacob . But I *would* make a blanket statement like that for IE. Won't pressure anyone, but even small institutional roles can have a big impact, and IE members are mostly intelligent enough to get into a high paying field otherwise
I think that's true, that most people here have the IQ for it. Though college can be pretty rough financially and even if it *does* pay off within years, being set back for those 4 years can be very difficult.
True that
@Danpat of course you are, but we just need to remain respectful when disagreeing.
Broke : Bachelors degree
Woke: Doctorate degree
Reclaim institutions
doctorates take a hot minute. I'd rather not be paying debts till I'm 50
@NateDahl76 lol depending on what you go into its free
Most doctoral programs pay you
To be honest, I think if you have the resources for it, taking a "bullshit" degree and getting into the college administration would be a phenomenal thing to do. But few people have those kind of resources.
I have no interest in a trade
You usually work as a teachers aid or research worker or something
Ah, didn't know that
Trade school is cool for some people sure
