Two-Thirds Of College Grads Regret Their Diploma, Costs And Major

[HenryBHough]

Aw hell, I figured out in 1960 that the way to success in college, even then, was to parrot the party line. Easy to fake. It's the biggest single reason my clients ("ghosted" term papers) always got the highest grades. OK, so it's a form of prostitution but with the twist that one gets to fake what looks like other people's orgasms.

To succeed in today's environment ya gotta be a chameleon. A sort of Ninja with a smile.

The trades are a great first option for many people but we don't tell them that we say everyone has to go to college

No we don't.

We have an everyone needs to go to college attitude in this country don't say we don't

I’ll say we don’t.

Regardless....more education does not hurt anyone

Everyone should go to college if they can but if they can’t, of course they should look at the best options available to them.

You're full of shit again. If that's what you want to study, and there are employment options in that field, great.

But college isn't always "better" than a non-college option or trade apprenticeship somewhere.

People have delusions of "one corporate job for life" or bust and they don't allow people to move on to a different career if the economic demand for their labor changes.

I think concepts are hard for you to grasp. I’ll type s l o w. On average you’ll make about $1M more in lifetime earnings going to college. It’s like a 10% 30 year ROI on your investment. That is an average not ALL. We are talking probabilities and expected outcomes here. You can be a billionaire without a college degree, sure. It’s just on average you’ll be better off going to college.

 

[citygator]

Your best outcome is going to college and getting any degree. Yes there are some college grads who do worse than some tradesmen. Those are outlets and not the reality of your outcome if you decide to skip college. The trades are in demand and a great second option.

The trades are a great first option for many people but we don't tell them that we say everyone has to go to college

No we don't.

We have an everyone needs to go to college attitude in this country don't say we don't

We don’t.

My one son became an architect, the other a welder
Both are doing well

Of course we do.

Since WWII more and more people have been pushed into going to college the severe shortage of skilled tradesman in this country is proof of that

How do you explain that 67% of people don’t graduate from college? How is that a labor shortfall for trades? That’s like 200M+ people.

That’s not what the report says. Here is a direct quote of your link:

But the proportion of full-time, first-time students who return for a second year, either full- or part-time — a measure called retention — has improved only slightly at public four-year universities, where it is up by 2.6 percentage points since 2011, the federal data show.

Translation: more people going to college than ever before + higher retention rates. It’s “only” up 2.6 percent as if that means anything. Your welcome.

You sound like a loser making excuses for why you failed in life

Except I'm not exactly a loser or a failure, because I'm still basically alive & well & not in prison, and I don't do the marijuana, drugs, alcohol, sex, or any of that loser shit other people do & continually try to blame on me or get me to take the fall for.

I am simply not willing to work for a drug-sex-alcohol Establishment, and until that organized criminal Establishment is brought down, it will remain necessary for me to keep fighting and waging war on the Establishment of the Left.

If you are unemployable for life because you did not get along, you are not only a loser, but a quitter

I was driven out of college for being a heartless asshole, ie Republican. But I managed to scratch out a living without a college degree. A lot of these colleges grade you based on your politics not on your ability.

That is not true. #1 reason people fail out of college is that they don’t study, don’t attend class, or dont do the work. The number who fail out while trying is small. The number that fail out trying because of politics is zero.

You are wrong. I was given F's on my book reports because she didn't like my opinion, not because she didn't like my ability to write. Those F's led to me flunking her class. I'm not the only one driven out of College because of politics. More recently I was fired because of a political point of view I posted on FB. It had nothing to do with work but some fellow employee demanded they fire me, or else, and they did. They are trying to make it so that we can't express Conservative points of view without being boycotted, fired, driven out of Restaurants and other businesses etc. And they harass conservatives in College and effect their grades until they drop out. or, antifa throws a cement shake on them and beats them up.

What opinions, exactly? Sounds fishy.

I am sorry to hear about your job. I’m guessing you are confusing extremist and bigoted for conservative, but that’s a guess. Those types of expressions have consequences. Small government and low tax opinions don’t offend anyone. Also, collegiate coursework doesn’t include book reports so I assume you mean HS book report grades kept you from college.

And if you're thinking military career, a college education can mean the difference between enlisted and officer.

Which is a BIG difference.

Overeducated college-dorm Greek-system frat-boy officers are causing big-time problems in the military. They never give up the marijuana-drug-sex-alcohol scene from college and then they join up with Almighty Vice Lord Nation, which is the same frat-boy & sorry-girl scene with a slightly "conservative" twist to it that somehow "fits in" better with the military.

Nazi military officers are twirling their mustaches again. You can't recruit conservatives from a left-wing political indoctrination campus. The green camoflage uniforms cannot hide that solid Democratic Socialist blue from the liberal academic political Establishment.

I thought people, in books, should accept the consequences of their own actions instead of blaming someone else who happened to be the one enforcing the consequences on them for actions they themselves have done. At the time I rode a bike to school in torrential rain storms about 3 miles. My diet consisted of hotdogs and pepsi. So I had very little empathy towards other peoples problems considering none of them gave a fuck about my problems.

My English class required book reports. I had to take Remedial English and math because I didn't do well on the entry exams. I spent years in the Army after High school and was a tad bit rusty.
