>going $100,000 in debt and spending 4 of the best years of your life to study a subject that you probably won't enjoy so that you have the chance of making $60,000 a year in a soul crushing white collar job as opposed to making $40,000 in a blue collar job
Is college the ultamate normie meme?

>40k debt for 30k job

>don't go to college: work until you die
>go to college: work until you die or get lucky
>do a trade: retire but ruin your body
Everything is a meme.

Life is struggle and suffering, it's that way for every living organism on the planet.
The sooner you accept that the sooner you can make the most of it.

if you take that hourly pay and double it that's roughly how much you make per year
For example:
20 / hr -> 40/yr
$20 * 8 hr / day * 5 day / wk * 50 wk / yr
= 40 k
that being said I would assume most college grads would be paid salaries and not hourly
At this point, it's better to work blue collar, work tons of OT at the start and invest wisely than getting into debt. Unless it's something like engineering, or healthcare. Even majors like finance and accounting and economics are getting flooded with shitty grads who'll work for minimum wage

I am on a full tuition scholarship, work as an RA so my housing and meal plan is paid (plus $120 bux a month stipend to boot) and I get gubbermint bux which pay my fees. $0 debt for my bachelor's which will net me likely a $50k or more per year job. Suck it, neetcucks.

That's my plan, I finish my electrical apprenticeship next year. The idea is that I'll work my ass off on overtime around the country and use the money to either invest or open my own contracting business.

That's why I've been a neet for the last four years.
