i think it's that people have created a standard for men, but men have their own standard of success and wealth. Some people think if a man isn't working 80 hours a week, owning a company, managing people, or something big he isn't a good man, he isn't worth his salt. But having a good job and what you want is a good standard to have. I see young men and they're fine, if they're working hard and earning well they're happy. If they're working a job that doesn't need education, or doesn't pay super well men are still doing ok, because they don't complain or blame others. That's the important part, live your life not blaming others nor living to other's standards and you'll be fine.

Near the end of my second year in college for a CS degree I was already working in the field. Looking at the classes I was going to have to take for the next two years was behind the times.

College meant something when the top 5 to 10 percent of people were going and virtually all of the degrees were good. But then college became a business and sports and partying become priorities to fill seats and maximize income. That's when all the useless degrees took over. Gotta have easy classes for the people who are only there to provide a tuition check, often to provide a cushy living for previous grads who are unemployable anywhere else but in college. So now there are 50% or so of young people spending prime earning/skill learning years in college. Instead of earning money they are taking on debt. They aren't even bettering themselves but arguably are doing the opposite.

If they up and quit and said I'm just going to get some books and learn on my own, most likely they are not going to get anywhere. the degree will at least help them stay away from retail work. i think degrees help a lot of with directionless people, which is the majority of society.

I disagree with your basic premise. For me the purpose of education is yo be educated not to get a job. But having said that most degrees are worthless for both getting educated and getting a job. You only get out of education what you put in. Doesn't matter what the degree is in, if you go to memorize a bunch of stuff to take the test and then forget it, that is a wasted education. What the real issue in education is and this goes back to the 1980s. Men get degrees and want to teach but are locked out of tenured positions. Don't get research grants and can't pursue post doctoral study, of that is their interest. Now having said that, you are correct that college degrees are a bad investment, you are wrong on why. The fact is that jobs are created by capital investment. There is not enough capital to create enough jobs for all the degrees handed out to people who didn't learn anything but just partied for 4 yrs. The big difference between men and women is post grad side. Men have to get a job in order to survive. Men can't afford for the most part to go and get multiple degrees, when that is more debt and no payout. Remember almost all the productive work necessary for civilization to exist is done by men, in fields that are 90% + male dominated or where men have an interest in doing. This Is mostly The Physical Labor Women Cannot do. So yes men are falling behind in numbers but men are way ahead in fields of study that require high cogative allbility, logical analysis, problem solving, and creativity. But by nature these jobs are rare and only take the top people from yhe most elite universities. Men have mostly figured it out high cost low rewards, = don't bother going. Just another version of being Red Pilled - you realize the game is rigged against you, you can't win so the only way to game the system and not lose is to not play. If you have no stake in their system eventually it will collapse, and you won't have anything to lose since you're not in it.

Lol. This is basically common sense in the so called third world countries. You either go to college in a field that makes monetary sense, or you go work in the field and get real world experience. Almost no one boasts "I go to this college", it's usually "I have a degree in this" I was always surprised people use college names instead of their study fields in us, as if the college decides on the career you will embark on.

I have to go to UNI to become a midwife. I will work part time and never earn beyond the threshold to pay any back in the U.K. not very sustainable obviously...

Hi skool dropout with zero debt and over 1 million net worth here. I run a business in my spare time and watch youtube videos all day. Could have gotten laid a lot in college, but I got laid pretty well without it. No regrets.

Not all stem degrees are created equal. I do a job making well over six figures with a degree in biology…in IT security. There are jobs I’ve interviewed at that explicitly state no college degree req, because the talent in my field is so nonexistent

[@bachelormindset8577]

I have a bachelor's degree and am finishing up a master's degree in STEM that my employer is funding (I would not have gone if my employer didn't pay for it). College degrees these days are becoming a laughing stalk. If you don't go for STEM or medical field, or a trade - college is not worth the price of admission anymore. Thankfully I have no student loan debt and am probably one of the lucky ones who managed to get a decent job with a bachelor's - 70k/year working 4 days a week from home. Statistically though, even with this, for the average person, college is not worth taking on debt especially with the time cost. You're far better off starting a trade, joining the military, starting a business (if you have a good idea), or just going to work and living at home saving the money.

[@titolovely8237]

i can vouch for college being mostly a waste of time. i graduated with a bachelors from a public college and ended up having to move back home with my folks at 23 because i was unemployable (2009 was right after the crash and literally noone was hiring). i spent the next 4 years being a carpenter and taking odd jobs to help my parents with their bills (my mom got laid off too during this time). at 27 i decided to go get some technical training to learn to run chemical reactors. after 1 year i got my certificate and within 3 months found the job im at now. currently earning $37/hour working shift work as a head operator (it doesnt sound like alot but bear in mind the average cost of rent where i live is $800/month and average house costs $90k). i WISH someone had told me just to skip college and get technical training. id have had 7 extra years worth of earnings instead of the 7 i wasted in school and being unemployable. not only that but i had nearly $25k in student loans which i paid off in my first year of working in the chemical field. i was a young kid and naive to how things worked, and every adult in my life lied to me or was too stupid to know i was wasting my time and money. in reality, if you're smart and willing to work, just go into a technical field. it's where the moneys at and you'll never be in need of work again. the people i know doing the best in life are the ones that got into a technical field early, spent 5-10 years building a skillset and are now at or near the top of their field. skills really do pay, and you wont get the skills you need to earn good money sitting in a classroom, and literally no employer cares what degree you have after you have 3-5 years experience.

[@seamusmcfitz913]

Yep. Get a STEM degree, learn to program in Python. A masters in English Lit is not a graduate degree.

[@chrisburns5691]

As a tradesman, I can't stand that mantra "men aren't graduating college!" yeah I don't have a degree, but I guess my 4 year apprenticeship is not worth anything to these academically minded people. Or the fact my only debt is my mortgage, and I make a comfortable middle class living with union benefits and pension. But I'm viewed as a failure, while the woman with a degree in ancient greek history, working at the coffee shop, is a success. There are different forms of education, they are completely ignoring any kind of technical/vocational school.

Just remove the universities and let "education" real education, (the kind that leads to action) to online 30 hour courses, that can take anywhere from 30~100 hours to understand.

[@swafflemanish]

I majored in Music performance but sold out and got a real job in healthcare IT somehow, and I almost paid off my 60k in debt. Down to like 12k left. So...I mean, I don't regret going to college. But I kind of agree with you. I do actually play music part time professionally in orchestras and I make some decent side money from it but it's not a living. But there are grey areas in life my dude.

[@zoidberg444]

I would say one of the only useful applications of a worthless degree and probably what a lot of the middle class girls end up doing who graduate with these worthless degrees is probably because they have family in the corporate world who can get them a job and hiring managers want to see a degree (even if its worthless or meaningless). It's parasitic on the economy but it is what it is. Same with getting a worthless degree and going and teaching - I mean its of limited use to everyone but its better than being a barista in terms of ease of the job even if a barista is probably more economically productive. That said for a lot of the men out there you are better finding wage work, going to trade school and staying out of debt. Trust me. I'm glad I dropped out of university before I ended up in debt. My sister did a worthless degree but managed to get an affirmative action job at a major corporation and gets an inflated salary for doing worthless paperwork. Her Chad fiance has a worthless degree and of course there is no affirmative action job for him so he is a labourer for an employment agency. He would be further ahead if he had skipped university. Edit: Certifications in IT - if you have some natural ability are very good. Know plenty of people doing it who have a few certifications that got them in the door. Work your way up, get some reputation.

[@suziemedic4698]

Economics is a breach of history however some branches of economics are quite useful and valuable like financial calculus or econometrics. For the most part, trades give you the best bang for your buck education wise. If not then major in medicine or law. Brick and mortar institutions are massively overpriced. However, the main benefit of going to an Ivy league universities is the connections made with wealthy people. On aside note trucking makings a lot of money considering the required education.

[@choncha23]

True spit! To go into computer programming you do not need a degree. I talked to the contractors when I was in Iraq last year, and they were basically scolding me to stop playing videos. They told me to get a security plus cert and a cert called CCSP cert. Both certs you can do online. They were making about 160k for being down there, and the first 96k were tax free. So I bought a bootcamp for the CCSP, and took the test.I had no idea what the fuck it was, and I had nothing but time on my hands on a FOB in Iraq (Minus the night Iran attacked us, and I didnt sleep the whole fucking night. And the nights that followed with rocket attacks). The old man was named Art. If by any chance you are reading this Art from Iraq who talked to the skinny Mexican guy every morning when we got coffee, Thank you! I didnt know what the fuck the Cert was about, but some of the people from the Transition to Civilian Life program to leave the military said my prospects for a job after the military are great. Why? Because I have a fucking Security Clearance. Who the fuck knew a military security clearance would be so important?

I always laugh at everyone who is almost in their 30 and they are still in college, with a lot of debt and 0 money, and some of them have the face to laugh at me when I say I don't have it. But i have my own car, house, investments, with 0 debts whatsoever, and still everything playing out according to plan for very early retirement, so they can laugh all they want, when they finish college i will live my life like a king, some people just don't understand how the world works, if you want money you only need one thing, you need to know how money works, college is worthless for that in most cases.

I promise that with 4yrs of actual work, even a mouth breathing low IQ person could build a perfectly good house. Let's get real, it is work ethic, not IQ that builds things. No disrespect, but I've worked in the construction and manufacturing fields for most of my life, and they're not inventing anything. Most of them can barely read. Yet, they can accomplish amazing shit. Hire some hourly dude that knows shit to work with you. Do what he does. Even when you think you're smarter than him, just do it. In a year, you'll have some real skill. By the time you're 3 years in, you'll be pretty good at most of the basic construction skills and starting to finesse in the advanced stuff. By the end of your 4th year, you'll be a legit tradesman, plus you'll have a house. That's WAY more valuable than a degree. In fact, at this point, I'd say that's more valuable than ANY degree, even engineering or medical.
