College, degrees, and jobs, oh my!

[CapnAwesome]

Jobs are for suckers who waste their lives making other people rich. Seasonal work or contract work only!

Um. That's just stupid.

You heard of some people that can't get jobs after getting college degrees. This absolutely happens. The reason? There are plenty of them, but chief among them are that people get BAs in Art History and English Literature and enter a saturated job market full of intellectuals that work until they die.

I got a BS in Computer Science last year and got three job offers before I even had the diploma in hand. No diploma? No job.

Same story here. Computer Science degree, got a job before I graduated.

I think debt basically rules out the benefits of a college education.

I'm 30, left university 7 years ago, will have paid off my college debt by next year.

Thats 8 years of debt. I mean basically 8 years of forced labor to get a 4 year degree. It's a sad standard we have when that can be considered a success.
