Yes, most degrees are worthless. Thank you for saying that. Only a few types of degrees are worth something.HouseMD wrote:Don't go to school for useless degrees, go to inexpensive state schools, problem solved.Adama wrote:Going to college just guarantees student loan debt.

Lots of people who've gone to college are in dire straits. I wouldn't believe every statistic posed to me. Everyone has an agenda, especially some who want to keep the system going, despite it's obviously breaking down in front of everyone's eyes. Remember feminists lie about statistics all the time. Anyone can when they have an agenda.
Besides that, most people don't want to believe the truth because their egos are involved in holding onto those lies.
This is one of the only forms of debt that can't be discharged. They pumped up this "go to college to enter the middle/upper class" myth, and everyone bought it for generations. Then in the end, since they've been funneling everyone that way, they force schools to raise prices every year to be eligible for government benefits, and they remove the ability to discharge it as any other debt.
And for some fields, a bachelors is not enough. They want a masters. Then they raise the requirement to a PhD level. This has happened in such fields as PT and NP to PhD of nursing.
Also, not everyone is going to be a doctor of anything. Not everyone wants to become a civil engineer. The thing is, almost for any type of job, they're demanding a college degree, because they've turned it into the equivalent of a high school diploma.
Schools just churn out people with worthless degrees. It is a money making racket like any other. How could it not be? Avarice and an inordinate greedy desire for wealth has overcome this society.
