Why do normies value college so much?

[Deleted member 11126]

I've never understood this... Most normies with upper middle class background think college makes you smarter. This is the real black pill about why you should go to Uni. You could learn a skill at home but yuppies who are zoomers/millennials will assume your an idiot. Its such a stupid shit test I respect a plumber 10X more then a English major and they are probably more smart too but these dumb yuppies will always think less of the plumber even if he's making 6 figures.

And also the idea that every single person "should" go to university. Universities are filled with mediocre people who believe they are smart with made up titles these people are mediocre their parents were mediocre they will go on to work mediocre jobs that their parents did except it will be a fancier title same pay. I hate normies so much

Only respectable majors left are heavy math and STEM. I don't blame anyone getting a degree but just don't pretend its anything but a compliant test. College these days is no difference then a license for driving just a shit test that does not mean your a good driver.

Government in the USA actually makes laws and taxes based on hiring people of a certain college education. I remember my friend at Walmart worked as a manager he got some associates in computer science and Walmart increased his pay by 7 dollars giving him a promotion he did the same work as before.

It was because there was some law against promoting to specific roles to people without degrees. You can't avoid this shit since there are laws against hiring people without degrees.

People don't value it that much. It's basically considered the norm/normal. If you don't do it, you are dumb. If you do it, congratulations you are an average human being.

Brutal life nowadays tbh.

Agreed. School is for lame ass people

This is not true, no one cares where your money comes from.

I never talked about money. It's a normal experience to do college/university after high school.

College is good if you want a chance to regularly fuck women that are in the higher caliber of attractiveness assuming you look good enough, but aside from that, school is really only good for the degree

People have this idea that if everyone was educated society would be Utopia the only thing that happens is degrees are diluted to HS diplomas and the quality of the University becomes mediocre.

40% of people tops belong in a formal University.

This is all true, but this also means that if you don't go to college/university you are now worth less than a HS diploma basically.

Society is retarded. Higher education should be completely defunded. The minors that have any real use, companies can pay for with scholarships. State should stay out of all of it.

Its not lame more so mediocre even at a good state school with decent SAT/GPA requirements you still just see absolute normies. There are maybe a few math based majors that genuinely are going to create students who are fundamentally smarter the rest is the same nonsense as HS/busy work or something you could learn outside of school

Yeah all that has happened is we have created a ponzi scheme between the banks and universities.

The banks get to put people who are just starting to enter the work force in debt that cannot be defaulted on (nearly all other debt you can go bankrupt and it disappears) and the universities get to pocket the money and can be payed to control politics/attitudes of the students. Its a good deal for universities politicians and bank/finance companies

Facts, and even with somewhat useful STEM degrees involving heavy maths and problem solviving…even then it’s just a piece of paper at the end of the day. When u go for a job interview they care more about work experience (even if straight out of uni) not that you aced laplace transform course, etc jfl…

Plus in the job market, nepotism is king. It’s rigged against the normies even with 1st class STEM degree

Networking is everything if you want to succeed in life. Know the right people at the right time

Degrees are valuable for a stupid reason. Also there is a ton of regulation against giving people without degrees a role. There are all sorts of tax rules against giving people without a degree a role.

I gave an example of my friend who literally got a 7 an hour promotion for getting an associates despite doing the same job because of some bogus rule for management. Also normies by default think a person with a degree at all is smarter appearances really do matter unless its something in tech still matters but your right it is more about what you can do rather then getting a degree.

I know a good amount of people from both groups and I get both sides point. Sure college people are more often than not pseudo intellectuals but they do have a valid point when they say most tradesmen are simple. Plumbers make good money but they have pleb mentality

My point with trades job is that they are often more respectable then liberal arts majors. Plenty of decent roles and some of them do require problem solving skills. I don't mean to say people on average in college are stupid although there a lot of people who are just that most people in college are mediocrities with the exception of hard maths majors. Even in Ivy leagues you find people who are very arrogant they are not geniuses by any means but still act as if they are.

 

[House Lannister]

True. It’s mainly for the social experiences though and a degree is kind of needed in todays world it is what it is. Just have to get yourself a bunch of internships mainly because work experience is key. Muh Oxford English grad how the fuck does that even apply to the real world

Yeah this meme is my favorite.

Normies really are the worst of all groups at least most dumb people are humble.

Yeah I just hate compliance tests like this. Same thing with shit like Covid. Everyone knows that a piece of paper over their mouth won't stop projectiles from spreading but they did it because they were supposed to do it.

Most people don't even believe the BS they are empty so replacing one idea with another is easy because they never believed in anything in the first place

What laws are you referring to? I'd like to read up on this further

 

[Deleted member 11126]

I'm not sure of any specific for all I know it could be company policy. I think it has to do with tax law.

Hiring workers with certain credentials gives companies a tax write off.

College Is legit brainwashing 101 for this reason.

When U already know a thing is bullshit but do it anyways, it throws your moral precision out of wack and leave u to be more accepting and susceptible to other forms of bullshit. Its a primer/Stockholm ritual.

It certainly is demoralizing but not sure what I can do about it... I just need to try and not think about it

Yea, like a good doggy. Just dont think about it mentality.

It is what it is, but to not think about it is the exact thing people do that i refer to.

college for the birds bruh

 

[thecel]

major cope

Uni is for fun (sex, drugs, parties, reckless endangerment, etc.) ; a degree is a pleasant side effect.

 

[Deleted member 21895]

Most degrees are useless and take to long for what they are, some degrees like a bachelors in art history(McDonald's employee) shoudnt take 4 fuking years to finish, unless you are doing STEM go into a trade, is far more profitable, it is only 2 years and you pretty much have a guaranteed nice paying job when you finish it.

Whoever thinks that every person should go to university for a degree clearly doesn't understand people. *cough* liberals *cough*

University is just an official place to learn a field/skill, in which then YOU, yes YOU will have to find ways to capitalize on it. The problem with uni is that people see it as a "safeguard" and a way to "get a good job" not a place to learn a field and then set up a business, freelance or help a businessman to fullfil the demand he has of qualified people.
