I got a degree, but I think getting your foot into your first job is really all it's used for.
Bullshitting on resume and learning on the fly works better IMHO. LOL
Pretty much. In some cases the degree requirement is there simply to weed out most of the nepotism.
One of my professors told us honestly that the degree just means that you have the stamina to go through 4 years of compliance without pay. That is a characteristic sought after in employees.
Having been salary for many years, that is true.
Largely true. I never finished my CompSci degree (largely because of all the Diversity courses I'd have been forced to take). But I had an intensive 25-year career in ITS all the same. I even ended up teaching in the same school that had tried to convince me that Diversity courses were indispensable to a knowledge of computing systems and networking.
I had a great time socially in college .. but, having an opportunity to do it over again, I would've become a lady electrician, or would've learned another valuable trade like tile-cutting.
My course work was too challenging to have a very active social life. But there was a drastic difference between my core curriculum and the electives I had to take. Some of the electives seemed a lot like liberal propaganda at the time, as ignorant of the liberal infiltration as I was. I just thought there were a lot of stupid people running around.
Oxymoron: To get a doctorate, one's 'new' idea is critiqued by the guy who formed the Status Quo you're usurping with your thesis.
If 'higher learning becomes the Status Quo.....then that's an oxymoron isn't it?
Geniuses don't make 'good students' because they question authority.
Universities are Authoritarian guardians of truth by presenting LIES in their place.
Higher Learning from a university produces oxymorons who can't independently think and this is how we got here.
I have an engineering degree and have used it significantly.
Avoided most bullshit liberal arts classes. But that was 30 yrs ago.
Yeah now college is full of woke sh1t classes
Same fren.
Dewey's view of education was to teach kids what they needed to big good Clog's in the System
From what I've seen, people who get degrees in something that is personally enjoyable like design, animation, etc. are not helped by college degrees.
If you get a college degree in an area where people are needed and paid well, they do much better, i.e. engineering, nursing, etc.
