Umass boston was largely a joke. I do agree with that.
It’s mostly a time and money sink for a piece of paper unless you’re going into a profession that requires it… though you don’t usually need a degree, instead you need to pass various certifications. There’s even wacky exceptions like not needing a degree at all to take the BAR exam in Vermont.
Then there’s the hyper conservative colleges out there… I couldn’t tell you at all how those go but I wouldn’t assume very well.
College in the US is largely a big day-care system which interferes with the students’ ability to cope with realities of adult life, if they didn’t come in with it already, and also a money gate which serves to keep people away from high-paying jobs unless they come from a wealthy family or are willing to enter an indentured servitude relationship.
It has some other subsidiary functions, some of them legitimately important, and education is a wonderful and crucial thing. College in America has been drifting further and further away from education, though, as the society it is forced to exist within has been steadily cared less and less about education with every passing decade.
The highest paid employee at many universities, especially in the south east, is the football coach. If that doesn’t tell you where our priorities are…
I hope all the zoomer dudes who voted for orangeboi enjoy this delightful financial punch in the dick
Trump supporters can’t even read, much less take any kind of higher education degree
While that may be the statistical correlation, it’s not true as a blanket statement
lol, you think most of those guys went to college?
I think you’d be surprised how many of them did
Doesn’t take a lot to get through college
