if I was rich I’d get degrees for fun 🧑‍🎓

[@imrannazir6931]

That's exactly what happens. People from wealthy backgrounds can afford to take obscure degrees like art history, PPE, medieval history, etc. They move through the world without that background anxiety that a lot of people have.

Is this part of a larger episode? I would loooove love love to see it! Agree there is no incentive these days to go to school.

Community college is free in many states, my sister is 28, going to be a teacher, all her education is paid for. We are from NJ.

[@almominoon2364]

if it's free then what is wrong why doesn't everyone go there, instead of getting huge loans

[@commonomics]

@@almominoon2364 I guess there is prestige associated with universities, most people who want to save money will attend their local cc and then finish at a local uni.

[@alphacause]

Colleges are pricing themselves out of business. As Tazzy explained here, we are reaching an inflection point where the cost to attain a college degree is not worth the return on investment. This opens up new avenues of learning that employers will soon have to accept as alternatives to college degree holders, for the simple fact that if they insist on only having college graduates they simply will not have enough applicants to fulfil their needs.

Education should be free

[@AimeeKateKelly]

[@theonlycma]

In some countries like France going to public universities cost pennies, I many have friends who studied in France - almost for free but now they are working in Canada or United States. They colleagues were shocked they didnt have student loans.

[@aehong7332]

I'm frome France and I literally went to school for fun. I liked Japan and wanted to learn the language, so I majored in Japanese language studies during university because I liked it, not because of some career aspirations. Al hamduliLlah for this blessing.

God I wish I could just go to school and not worry

[@ssarwat2233]

That's so sweet you want to study.

They're also making it so medical debt is no longer on your credit record.

[@Miriam-ui5pw]

Really?! where did you hear this if you don't mind me asking? I have tons of medical debt in collections.

[@ayeshaahmed9019]

Edx offers free classes.

[@surlespasdondine]

Rich means you have time because you don't need to work.
