A college education is worthless unless you go to an elite university

[Mike_Yates]

A college education is completely worthless unless you graduate from an elite university like Harvard, Yale, MIT, Caltech, Oxford, etc...

Otherwise, don't even bother.

The expensive colleges exist to add a wall around your daughter and make it hard for her to come home a baby mama for some affirmative action nigger basketball scholar. Harvard practices effective wildlife management. Instead, she and your son will come home newly minted fags.

Mike, you're run out of new material...



Now, do some aliens stuff.

Bullshit!! Your education is what you make it.

So much for all that money spent on correspondence courses in auto mechanics from the University of Phoenix, huh, Mike?

There are some jobs and career paths that earn you a 7-digit salary. that are reserved exclusively for Ivy-League graduates.

Mike, I don't think you've done any research at all into this.

Mike, in order to make a 7-digit salary, you have to be able to do math.

Mike has a seven digit salary, but unfortunately six of the digits are to the right of the decimal point.

I tried college twice. All I learned is I should have went to a trade school. I've learned more from the cranky old farts in the shop then I ever did in school. Fuck the desk job tue trades are were its at right now.

Even if you go to a prestigious school, what you study matters, but even more important, it seems to be the connections you make (and how you leverage those connections after college). College is also a time to foster interests outside of your major, and see how those can translate into income opportunities.

Beyond that, I think college is a great time to be exposed to more of the world, and learn to work better with people.

I studied something that ended up being almost completely impractical outside of academia (women's studies), and definitely the stuff I studied specifically for the major is not very applicable in what I actually ended up doing (small business finance). But the time spent in college was definitely beneficial.

Unless you personally know someone on the inside who can pull strings, good luck being hired at an investment banking firm without an MBA from an ivy-league business school.

I did both. College is my big regret in life tho I learned plenty about statistics and research. But most of it was bull shit. The air force put me thru a mechanics school, which was interesting and continues to pay me benefits. Then I did a 4 year sheet metal school where I learned all there is to know about geometry. I literally graduated fully prepared to do land surveying, because its the same process as pattern making. Then I mastered electronics and radio propagation and an advanced class radio license. But college was a huge waste of time and money, and almost all the people I met were colossal assholes.

They aren't worth much either... have you seen the quality of students schools like Yale and Harvard are producing?

If I owned a company, I would specifically hire non-college graduates.

I'd much rather have empty glasses to fill, people willing to work hard and learn on the job, than brainwashed cry babies that spent more time smoking and drinking than they did studying.

Give me a bunch of 10 year old boys, I'll take them out on to the farm or down into the mines, and make men out of them... the pussies being pumped out of schools today are worthless.

Its helpful to understand Ivy League colleges exist to keep the white niggers outta government and Wall Street and the boardrooms of the kosher corporations. You could fire a machine gun down Wall Street and never hit a Christian or conservative.

Who needs research when it's the 12th time that you have started the same exact thread?

That's a fair point.

He's in his thread cycling mode.



Any of them that got more than three posts, he's reposting.

Good luck getting rich with your trade school certification.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Define "rich."

 

[Mike_Yates]

Define "rich."

A yearly salary of over $1,000,000 per year.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

That's the fallacy of gross versus net.

If you are making that in New York, all you can afford is a Middle Class lifestyle due to the cost of living.

You might be far "richer" with a degree from Iowa State living and working in Des Moines at $90,000 due to the lower cost of living.

The rich don't receive a salary

 

[RoryN]

I still don't understand why Mike makes this same thread ~ four times a year.

 

[Mike_Yates]

Yes they do, most CEO's make over $10,000,000 per year + bonuses.
