Title. I'm in my pre final year of college. Doing a STEM degree from a tier 1 uni and can confirm that most of the courses that you take up in uni are pointless. Many courses lack real-world applications and are often disconnected from industry needs. A degree is still highly regarded by employers as proof of discipline, perseverance, and the ability to handle stressful environments but you need to realize it's just a benchmark, not necessarily the full toolkit. Most real world skills that I learnt in uni. I learnt it by myself with side projects, and internships. These are what truly prepare you for the job market.

All of this is not to say you shouldn't go to Uni tho. These courses basically build a foundation for problem-solving and critical thinking and a uni is still worth it because of college experience, the networking, the connections that you make in uni. College is worth it, but don't rely solely on it to prepare you for the real world. You need to take charge of your own learning and growth and take advantage of the unique opportunities university life offers. So it's all on you whether you make the most out of your uni life or waste your time slacking classes and rotting in your room. It's all on you. You are the biggest variable here.

And they make you pay for it. It's the most obvious scam of the modern age.

I haven’t learned much in uni but it’s helped me ascend in ways I don’t think I would’ve been able to had I been at home

If you don't have the attention span to read 2 small paragraphs of text you shouldn't be in uni. So don't bother. Become a drug peddler

I agree

And at the end of the day, a degree is a degree- might as well get it.

If you really hate it that much, just do what you can to get a passing grade that isn't bad(c) and utilize that time to improoooove

Paying taxes is a much worse scam

Everything you learn in uni can be summed up by: just be a good person bro!
