Viability of college

The true hilarity is that people generally grab links from articles written by people that attended college to refute this.

Every article you see on the internet about how "it's way too much money!" is crafted by people that went to school.

I can't shake the feeling that a fool takes fears and doubts as fact.

As an unemployed person with a B.S. in math who couldn't get an internship and apparently can't get a job I would say your recommend is a little Pollyanaish.

that makes no sense. why does going to college mean you aren't allowed to criticize it? wouldn't you know better by actually experiencing it?

They've gone through the system, and they've attained what they were after in the first place.

>>36851037
maybe you should have studied something else mate

>>36851037
>B.S. in math

You need a supporting degree to land a job with something like that.

>>36851205
After they land their good job with their degree, they write an article in an attempt to dissuade others from starting and walking in their footsteps. They'll pay-off their debt in a couple of years, and they'll continue to write articles for various companies.

It's absurd to listen to these people.

>realize people that got unemployed after school weren't smart enough to go in the first place

It seems scary, but each person that gets burned reveals a critical error in their thought process when you see they had no job in mind.

A bachelors in math is probably not that great unless you're top notch.
All the industries that want high IQ math fags can pull them from top physics, math, and cs phd programs.

I don't understand how and why college became a place for job preparation, and not dedicated to learning

>Learning

You'll learn really fast when you're working at Mcdonald's and can barely afford to eat/killing yourself at a manual labor job.

Highschool was the place to "learn".

If you dont study the right thing at the right time and then move to the right location all while meeting the right people, you're fucked.

I highly doubt this.
Networking isn't everything.
It's a lot, but it's not totality.

You needlessly over-complicate the act of education.

could never go to college and study something I'm not interested in

well working for some shitty tabloid is probably not their dream job, but still, just because you need to go to college to get into x profession doesn't mean college isn't still a ripoff which is a waste of time and money for certain people.

I agree.
I'm just going to get an easy 13$ an hour job and have friends while I work it.

On top of this, I don't intend to get a girlfriend and have children, so it'll never come back to hurt me.

I can't believe people genuinely WANT to make loads of money. What's the point in it?

>>36853166
God, I want to live that life so badly.
What kind of job do you think would be good?

It depends on the mentality of the person. Most people on /r9k/ are devoid of hope and lack social skills. It would be a waste of money for these unmotivated young men to go to school to fail courses or to pass without making the right connections.

I'd say night time security guard, but you're liable to get killed by niggers, and if you do get held at gun-point, you'll lose your job.

I think a warehouse job would be great though.

You get to work with a bunch of people, and you all have fun talking to one another.

>>36853166
I never had interest in making loads of money either. I can buy everything I want now working par time at a retail store. I don't want a nice car. I'm going to inherit my parent's house. I'll get a full time job to get health insurance and be able to pay real bills, but I don't want to be a millionaire.

>>36853047
I'm currently doing it, and I hate .y life. I've driven myself into so much debt to do something I hate. I just wanna die most days.

only normies get accepted into internships
