What kind of fucking moron goes to university?

Only in anglo countries you have to borrow tens of thousands to a bank in order to do a useless degree you know. Don't project your vampiric system onto the rest of the world, Dylan. And although I agree that philosophy or sociology bachelors are useless in themselves, there might be a deeper socio-economic reason for the fact that a massive amount of young people try to get college degrees (ironically in an institution where the education was first designed for something else than becoming a wagie). Other than "Kevin is a stupid idealistic tool for choosing anthropology as a major", of course. Maybe if you went to college, you might have understood that

I'm not polite

some people want to make a living with what they like to study.

>there might be a deeper socio-economic reason for the fact that a massive amount of young people try to get college degrees (
Yes there is.

Back in the day only the rich could afford to send their kids to school. Then the industrial revolution happened a few decades later the middle class was born. Now there were 100 times as many kids going to university and something that was once prestigious and valuable has today become the bare minimum for employment anywhere except McDonalds. It's BECAUSE so many of you simpletons with empty heads go to University that your degree ends up being not worth the paper its printed on.

None of the humanities will get you a job

You seem to be at the moment.

Self-assurance. OP must be successful.

even a fellowship at a university?
>t. neet

For every staff position at university there's 1000 other useless wankers with degrees vying for a spot. Are you top of the wanker pile? I doubt it...

isn't that why one should get a phd?

If even simpletons get a degree, what are you then?

Again, there's 1000 other useless wankers with phd's competing for one job

I'm better than you.

I didn't go to University because there wasn't anything I cared enough about to want to study it, I didn't care about being rich either. I didn't care that all my friends were going and I'd be the odd one out. I didn't care that my teachers were trying to guilt trip me into going because I had "potential". I didn't care that it was "what you're supposed to do". I did what I wanted because I'm not a fucking bitch who gets buffeted around in life by the expectations of others.

I spent the last 10 years doing what I wanted to do and I don't regret a single day of it.

Yet you are insecure enough to feel then need to brag about your life choices on Yea Forums while impersonating some kind of self-righteous proletarian.
>I'm better than you
So that's the goal here

>I'm better than you.
>I spent the last 10 years doing what I wanted to do and I don't regret a single day of it.

maybe what he wanted was exactly what he did too? i for example didn't go to uni in order to "get a job", i was just fascinated by my field and thus i chose it. no reason to be this mad if you were really so satisfied about your own choices as you said.

>Yet you are insecure enough to feel then need to brag about your life choices
You started this, simpleton.
>So that's the goal here
No, just a fact.

>maybe what he wanted was exactly what he did too?
I sincerely doubt it.

>You started this, simpleton.
I started the thread? I've yet to find anything here that wasn't a set-up for your narcissistic wankery.
But I believe in you, even if your 'friends, have gone to university you are just as intelligent and successful as them, or dare I say much more so!

Not everyone has to pay for university. That’s probably why I was able to do it in the first place.

>waste of money
Picture this : we’re not all americans. Never had to ruin myself to become a lawyer.

cannot believe how many people actually fell for this.

So you started out with a slightly correct beggining of explanation but then automatically slipped to "they do it because they are stupid". Why, Dylan, why? When did a sociology degree had any value in the corporate world ? Do you really think the idea that a lot of people make bad life choices is groundbreaking, or at least deserve a thread ?

>fell for this
You mean the opinion of most burger youth ? What a stretch.

no I mean this dumbass bait thread retard

>It's a bait thread dood! Got you good maan!
Still doesn't make it any less pathetic

I don't get it what was your counterargument

Just picked up my bachelor's diploma and stuff, since I dropped out of masters. At least I looted 6 months of scholarship, kek. Uni is a total waste of time, it's a cesspool of miserable people who are not qualified enough to do something worthwhile in real world, so they usually abuse their position of power in the uni. On top of that you have tons of normies who don't care about anything but partying and don't study anything ever.

Why do you care about other people's life decisions that are purely monetary? Why does it perturb you that people made a choice, and failed?
Or does it piss you off that people exist who studied what they love and found a job they liked afterwards, and not conformed to your image of a failure? Does it piss you off that people researched their meme degree, and got it anyway?
Guess what, these meme degrees are pretty useful for the right people. Philosophy is great for the line of work I want to get in, and it's made me much better at talking to people and articulating with them. I'm already in the hiring process for what I want, and I plan on continuing my education after I get in.
That's why bugmen from other countries fill into engineering and comp sci. They have zero interest or aptitude, and they can only think in terms of checklists, so they go where the money says.
>I did what I wanted to do with my life and saved myself shit tons of money.
And we don't care, because the only reason you even bring it up is to brag to anonymous fags on a Manchurian cartoon porno forum. Not everyone wants what you want. You don't need to justify your mundane life choices to strangers by deriding theirs.
> """Networking""" is for real degress, not meme ones like English or Classics. University offers nothing you can't find in a book, your professors are morons.
Sure thing, shit head. I can only guess what herculean truths you've mustered from all this self-induced reading you've done. Get this: you can also teach yourself Calculus, advanced math, physics, and engineering. It's possible. You can combine free courses online with cheap books, and do textbook lookups for college courses and just read them yourself. But how many people do this? Why do they need to pay for a degree, too? Because that's not the way most humans are wired to learn.
Professors give you context and feedback, and build your rapport in whatever subject they're teaching.

Complaining about people going to university is the biggest cope for people who didn't go to university

I always see the biggest copers listing off the same criticisms
>IT COSTS MONEY
>U CAN JUST GO 2 LIBARY
>ITS LIBERAL AND STUFF
You need a degree for most things in life. Deal with it bitch

>I didn't go to University because there wasn't anything I cared enough about to want to study it, I didn't care about being rich either. I didn't care that all my friends were going and I'd be the odd one out. I didn't care that my teachers were trying to guilt trip me into going because I had "potential".

This is why other people are important and you're not

>I spent the last 10 years doing what I wanted to do and I don't regret a single day of it.
lmao how fucking old are you? this is pathetic

>You need a degree for most things in life.
Nothing that actually matters though

That picture is peak cringe, is that you?

You go to University to get credentials and show that you can work in a standardized environment and be around others for at least a few hours a day.
Community college then online-school is probably the cheapest and best bang for your buck, unless you plan on staying planted like I did in which case potential employers may like you better if you grew up in similar area and went to the same schools.

I got a job offer straight out of college in EE for $75k + $10k signing at a government job, so I can't get fired :^)

I went to university and did not pay a single dime. Stupid Americans and their for-profit model can go fuck themselves.

I went for six years on taxpayer dime. No I did not graduate and even if I did it was a philosophy degree for maximum uselessness. :^)

Yes, being a lawyer/architect/engineer does not really matter. What really matters is reading Ellul and Guenon while masturbating at the same time.

If this post was heartfelt then it would be the most based post in the history of African war-crimes appreciation forums

>Yes, being a lawyer/architect/engineer does not really matter
No, it really doesn't.

Since I went to work for the local government's internal services department I'm going to see if I can get my loans forgiven.

University was great. I got drunk every day, played rugby, and fucked loads of girls. Still got a 2.2 lol

>This is why other people are important and you're not
dime-a-dozen fake intellects are not of import. Anybody of real import is isolating themselves from this vanity and perversion. Who would want to be seen as a product of corruption other than the sick? Fake education, fake prestige, fake system, pumped by fake money. Commercial production sold to the masses like kardashian cuntery.

how do you determine what matters?

If you were dying right now you wouldn't give a fuck about whether you were an engineer

if you were dying right you wouldn't give a fuck about whether you were anything.

Precisely.

which is why it is a retarded thought to consider everything as nothing since you aren't dying all the time.

>since you aren't dying all the time
pfffffttt, look at this fucking retard over here
>which is why it is a retarded thought to consider everything as nothing
Try it, it's very freeing

ever notice how NEETs' ultimate stance is always soggy nihilism

Sounds like sour grapes user, but I agreee that people shouldnt just jump into it if they dont know what they actually want out of it just because they feel obligated to go. I didnt go and have an okayish job and im surrounded by college grads loaded with debt. Its a shite situation and honestly many jobs dont need that much higher education as they try and convince you
