What’s your most controversial opinion?

[crazychemgirl]

Is @Bry1313 controversial … I think probably so. I mean, who doesn’t like spam?!

 

[Apisto42]

Is that, like, a school on top of a hill, dude?

I had to walk uphill both ways in the rain to go to preschool. That was enough of that shit.

@crazychemgirl is either the worst best friend or the best worst friend, trying to decide which.

Can it be both or neither?

It could be either or either. Depends on your pronunciation.

Don’t wordplay with me calendar captain. I didn’t make the rules.

And on the seventh day, @Corbal rested. It was a Wednesday. Apparently.

Can we hump already?

If all months only had 28 days men would probably understand women’s cycles better.

Not all cycles are 28 days.

Higher education is extremely undervalued in society

I feel like it’s overvalued and no longer means what it used to.

Continued education is what I see to be grossly undervalued

And Trades. I wish they'd discuss them more in school.

I think I agree. Especially in light of the rise of for-profit colleges, degrees are mainly indicative of an aptitude for a specific type of academia game. In my dottage I find people who learn because they like learning to be far more interesting and generally useful than folks who wanted some letters by their name to get a bigger paycheck. (#notalldoctors )

And don’t get me started on the classicism inherent in the idea off”elite” colleges…

I liked learning and I am fucking unbelievably interesting. I even have letters to my name - Ms.

I consider trades in higher education…

But I mean mostly STEM degrees… most jobs in STEM require an MSc OR PhD that getting a BSc is so overlooked and doesn’t get the value it deserves. There’s a problem in society when jobs requiring a BSc aren’t getting paid much higher than minimum wage and yet 4 years of schooling is required. It’s bullshit.

Omg “elite” colleges where people get in more because they have connections and can afford it vs the people who have the aptitude.

I agree that education JUST to get a degree is overvalued …. Even though I think higher learning does teach some valuable life skills.

Pretty much if you want to get paid decently in STEM you need a MS or higher.

If you just want to make a shit ton of money, become a builder.

But even the PhD’s aren’t getting paid the value that their YEARS of studying has earned them.
