Coming from the guy that has a long arrest history, bounces around from dish washing jobs, doesnt pay child support, uses meth...
But yeah, a lot of the college types never make it far.
Lamy did though. Do what he did. -

LMRAO
Not manipulating naything. You just seem to have trouble reading my post and not putting word in my mouth. If you want to show me where I said or implied what you're accusing me of then go right ahead. I'm waiting.

No, not at all. Like what, did you think society's program of indoctrination stopped when you graduated? Can you really not think any ways in which society continues the process of indoctrination and socialization after the end of schooling?
Who spends more of their time and energy in an environment with a rigid social script being told messages that the society wants them to hear, a student or the average working adult? The adult, obviously. The only thing I know a 30 years old has in this society that a 20 year old doesn't is 10 years more propaganda consumption.

2018-10-31 at 12:32 AM UTCI think its a shame that so many extremely intelligent hard working people get passed over on multiple jobs cuz they don't have a piece of paper, that basically just says 1. Mommy and daddy had the money to pay or 2. I need this job to pay off loans I'll be paying til retirement or 3. (in the very rare instance) I was in top 3% of Americans in grade point average and was lucky enough to get a scholarship.
Our country is so focussed on higher education it really does just keep the rich rich and the poor poor and that is unfortunate -

You don't have to be anywhere close to a top 3% GPA to get a scholarship. Scholarships in the US are really pretty easy to get, the majority of them are means tested, meaning all you have to be is poor. The majority of my college expenses were covered by grants I got from either having a low household income or being a good but not great student. College actually is fairly affordable in this country. -
2018-10-31 at 12:51 AM UTCI just wracked up mad school loan debt.
During the time I spent as an itinerant layabout, I was under what Canada calls a "loan forgiveness program." I still have to pay all that debt, but the interest payments were postponed.
Now that I done went and fucked around and got a real job, they're gonna be coming for their money - with a vengeance.
*sigh*, I guess I had to grow up some time... :( -

No I wasn't. I was the "mommy and daddy paid" I just meant in general few scholarships and it's either racial or grades or sports or all of the above -
2018-10-31 at 3:14 AM UTCChadd Haag said he left the United States to escape his student debt. Now he lives in India.
Chad Haag considered living in a cave to escape his student debt. He had a friend doing it. But after some plotting, he settled on what he considered a less risky plan. This year, he relocated to a jungle in India. "I've put America behind me," Haag, 29, said.
He now lives in a concrete house in the village of Uchakkada for $50 a month. His backyard is filled with coconut trees and chickens. "I saw four elephants just yesterday," he said, adding that he hopes to never set foot in a Walmart again.
His debt is currently on its way to default. But more than 9,000 miles away from Colorado, Haag said, his student loans don't feel real anymore.
The philosophy major concedes that his student loan balance of around $20,000 isn't as large as the burden shouldered by many other borrowers, but he said his difficultly finding a college-level job in the U.S. has made that debt oppressive nonetheless. "If you're not making a living wage," Haag said, "$20,000 in debt is devastating."
He struggled to come up with the $300 a month he owed. The first work he found after he graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in 2011 — when the recession's effects were still palpable — was on-again, off-again hours at a factory, unloading trucks and constructing toy rockets on an assembly line. He then went back to school to pursue a master's degree in comparative literature at the University of Colorado Boulder. After that, he tried to make it as an adjunct professor, but still he could barely scrape a living together with the one class a semester he was assigned.
Outstanding student debt in the U.S. has tripled over the last decade and is projected to swell to $2 trillion by 2022. Average debt at graduation is currently around $30,000, up from an inflation-adjusted $16,000 in the early 1990s. Meanwhile, salaries for new bachelor degree recipients, also accounting for inflation, have remained almost flat over the last few decades.
Half of student loan borrowers haven't paid even $1 toward their debt's principal five years into repayment, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Forty percent of student loan borrowers are expected to default by 2023, according to the Brookings Institution.
Defeated by their student debt, some borrowers are packing their bags and fleeing from the U.S. to other countries, where the cost of living is often lower and debt collectors wield less power over them. Although there is no national data on how many people have left the United States because of student debt, borrowers tell their stories of doing so in Facebook groups and Reddit channels. How-to advice is offered on personal finance websites.
"It may be an issue we see an uptick in if the trends keep up," said Barmak Nassirian, director of federal relations at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.

If you know it’s propaganda,then you’re not consuming it,you’re ignoring it.
And there are many things a 30 year old has that a 20 year old has...unless you’re a complete loser -

I've bolded the important bit. -
2018-10-31 at 10:46 PM UTCuniversity is enjoyable but doesn't do much for marketable skills unless you do something to stand out. I put on every resume that I have a college degree but I don't really apply for jobs in my field so it's whatever. I like university, it's a good environment and yes, professors push agendas but kids need to know some things aren't cut and dry. the best prof I ever had is a completely cynic with a squeaky voice who taught classes on political violence and spycraft. I would definitely hide a body with him and he was very engaging in class. Every other prof hated him but I googled him and he's done some great things he never talked about.
anyways, school is what you make of it. 20k over a couple years really isn't shit. if you're just in it to make money then get a trade and work in oil and gas. if you want a more informed worldview and to learn things in an environment where you're encouraged to do so, go to university, then you can just become a college dropout like kanye westThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
