offering degrees that could be trade jobs or straight up are useless

2019-02-13 14:28:06 UTC  

remember when becoming an artist meant either figuring shit out for your own, or helping an actual artist?

2019-02-13 14:28:15 UTC  

an apprenticeship

2019-02-13 14:28:39 UTC  

now they are like "40,000 please" and you STILL end up needing to do most of the shit on your own or finding someone to understudy

2019-02-13 14:29:03 UTC  

well thats the thing

2019-02-13 14:29:17 UTC  

students are told "you pay, you get a degree, and then people want you to work for them"

2019-02-13 14:29:55 UTC  

it should actually be "You pay, you then get to work for your degree under some semblance of guidance, and then you have to find someone that is willing to pay you to work for them"

2019-02-13 14:30:01 UTC  

but that doesn't sound as inviting 😉

2019-02-13 14:31:14 UTC  

also, they're told every degree is worth as much

2019-02-13 14:31:22 UTC  

a degree in knitting, is equal to a degree in particle physics

2019-02-13 14:32:26 UTC  

and ofc its easier to say "society/the government screwed me" rather than "I made an oopsie"

2019-02-13 14:33:15 UTC  

i went to college with a plan and i made sure that even during the recession that the field i was aiming for was growing

2019-02-13 14:33:29 UTC  

most people don't it seems

2019-02-13 14:33:42 UTC  

no plan, no research

2019-02-13 14:33:54 UTC  

so did i

I went to college in a STEM field specifically, to ensure i will always be required in society

2019-02-13 14:33:57 UTC  

a bunch of high school kids who though the real world was still 4 years away

2019-02-13 14:34:45 UTC  

ironically i was done with school and wanting to work the moment i graduated high school

2019-02-13 14:35:29 UTC  

so my 4 years of college was me just being annoyed at still needing to do school work instead of working full time.

2019-02-13 14:35:34 UTC  

😄

2019-02-13 14:35:39 UTC  

also this

2019-02-13 14:35:56 UTC  

the jobs i could get, where like "you can't work more hours while going to school full time even if you want time"

2019-02-13 14:36:12 UTC  

pissed me off.

2019-02-13 14:36:19 UTC  

😛

2019-02-13 14:38:49 UTC  

Never understood the people who went to my school, who could only afford a Honda Civic, yet found the money to put like 20k worth of performance mods in and still couldn't afford textbooks.

2019-02-13 14:39:02 UTC  

Talk about priorities.

2019-02-13 14:39:50 UTC  

its the oldest story in the book

"I smoke, i buy an iphone every year, and i get a new car every 2-3 years"
"I'm also broke"


No, you just want more money cuz you're shit at saving

2019-02-13 14:41:35 UTC  

Im glad theyre not calling it a tax tho... coz thats not what taxes are for.... even tho... its kind of a tax...

2019-02-13 14:41:41 UTC  

you want company flight?

Cuz this is how you get company flight

2019-02-13 14:41:53 UTC  

from cali? .. yes...

2019-02-13 14:42:29 UTC  

there is too much power in one tiny area of that state

2019-02-13 14:42:48 UTC  

its not about the power

2019-02-13 14:43:28 UTC  

they'll just move one state over, and cause the entire income of the original state to collapse

2019-02-13 14:43:42 UTC  

like how Tim reported in that thing about New York missing 2.8 billion in taxes due to rich people bailing

2019-02-13 14:45:48 UTC  

another bunch will spring up in cali... theyll be fine

2019-02-13 14:46:28 UTC  

nah

2019-02-13 14:46:40 UTC  

cuz the state will be in debt so will try to hog more from any newlings

2019-02-13 14:48:02 UTC  

California doesn't exist, change my mind
