I dropped out after being told I had to take sexual harassment awareness to continue. So I left. I went for Diesel Technologies at a technical college. A 2 year class that you get the best brand tools for downward of half price. All the tools you would need to do your job as a Diesel Technician, a course that by itself would cost maybe 20k. The trade pays well but the fact that these schools can deny you further entry over what classes you don't take is a red flag. My take is if a school requires you to take classes not relating to what you want to do, don't go.

As a young guy in his early 20s, I can give my two cents on this: Nowadays, the VAST majority of young women are not interested in marriage, nor actively looking to settle down. They want to be young, hot, sexy, enjoying hot girl summer, etc. Most of them have full-stop have drank the sparkling Kool-Aid from society, media, popular culture and the Education Industrial Complex about what they should pursue and prioritize. Getting married, finding the right guy, starting a family, having kids are low on that totem pole, and outright have become optional since for a lot of them, going after these things is "beneath" them. With the increasing rate of young women identifying as lesbian/bisexual, and them being the most socially, politically, and economically empowered than ever before, the mating crisis is here to stay, and will only get ASTRONOMICALLY worse.

Medical school cost more to get the education then you will make doing the job. I know I tried. Literally EVERY Dr and nurse I worked with was not the breadwinner. Most Dr where trust fund baby's so money didn't really matter. This is why there has been a shortage for years.

[@Thane36425]

The thing to do would be to do like in Europe or take a page from the military. In some European countries, as I understand it, will pay for medical educations IF you pass tests to show you qualify and will probably stick it out. Or like the US military you get your education and then serve for 8 to 10 years, maybe longer. Instead of military service they could work as a GP somewhere then go to specialty school (though the best could go directly there). In either case, if this was adopted, if someone flunked out or dropped out they would have to pay back what was spent on them. This would make screening important. Counseling would also be offered to keep them in or to return.

It was typical feminist garbage, so that's where I threw the entire basket. Although, there were a couple of funny moments.

In fact, he did a little social experiment in the classroom to make a point. He asked everyone in the class to look around the room and try to pinpoint everywhere they saw the color blue. Keep looking to the point you could visualize and "feel the blue" if you closed your eyes. After a couple of minutes of this, he told the class to close their eyes. Once they had everything they looked over visualized he then asked everyone to think about where they saw the color red. Absolutely no one could do it. He made the point that, often in sociology, whether as a science or people taking on a world view, he said that there is very real danger in people getting so caught up in one world view that they will ignore everything else that is in the picture and be completely blind to other world views or ideas from people who are looking at the same thing. He also was asked a question by a student leaning left what kind of career a sociologist could hope to have and the teacher flat out said the only job prospects for sociologists is teaching sociology at colleges.

Modesty is a good thing to have. You don't need to make 200.000 a year. You don't need to be in positions of power and influence. That's only what they tell you, so that you keep striving for something that you probably will never achieve regardless of what you do. I was like that too at one point! I wanted to be lawyer and make big money. Needless to say, I failed. A normie would say that I have failed at life. I have a nursing diploma but I have not worked in that field for over ten years. It's a worthless piece of paper by now. I jump from one job to the other, usually making 1600 Euro net a month. And guess what, I am happy. In a few days, I'm back at my assembly line job, where I work my 38 hours a week, while listening to music and thinking about the video game that I am still working on. When I come home, I do not have to worry about work calling me in on the weekend, because we do not work at weekends. Neither on hollidays. And we only have one shift. It's a lower class job, sure, but people these days are tought to have these unrealistically high standards of having to be someone who makes 400.000 bucks a year "by doing nothing". Okay, but you will probably never be in that position anyways. And I do not need to drive a fancy car to work. Wanna know how I get to work? I have to drive 16 km by bike everyday! I have to get up at 4 am as well. But I like it! 160 kilometers a week means that I am in fairly good shape without having to hit the gym every day. Got the covaids a few months ago and I barely even noticed it. What I'm trying to say is that you do not have to be rich or successful, in order to be happy and live a good fullfilling life. If you think you do, ask yourself WHY you think you have to earn 200.000 bucks a year. Because all the luxuries that you can afford with that money will not satisfy you forever. Eventuelly you will get used to what you have and see it as normal and not good enough anymore. So, in the end, it doesn't really matter whether you make 22.000 or 222.000 a year. You will still be equally unsatisfied until you change the way you think. Sure, you might be able to look down on us peasants, who only make a tenth of what you are making a year, and if that makes you happy, good for you, I guess.

I managed to temporarily nope out of college. Instead of paying to get into college, I'm going to join the National Guard to get into any state college for free. From there, I'm planning to go to Med school. If you want to go for a STEM major, try to find a way to get in for as little cost as possible if not for free. If it's not STEM or what you're going for is not in high demand, DO NOT GO.

This is a smart path.

The thing that floored me is that I could send my son to a top university in Japan at the same cost of in state tuition, and only tuition, at the University of Texas El Paso (UTEP).

He'd probably get a better education in Japan

For perspective, this still only applies to the US. In Europe, university is mostly free, the degree is NEEDED if you want to migrate somewhere else where you aren't taxed 50% of your salary. Personally, I only used my degree for a visa, graduated debt free and made friends and connections that will last for life. While the education by itself isn't worth it. It's still a viable option for men
