Higher education

More like higher indoctrination[i]![/]

really makes u think ....

I find it ironic that people treat school/college dropouts like scum than get into enormous debt just to get their degree in interpretative dance therapy or underwater basketweaving.

school/college dropouts/dopeheads are scum though. Stop shitting on the sidewalks and harassing people for money if you don't like being treated like scum.

What about people who study useful things?

I disagree to some extent. Some people can't go to college because they can't afford it, or because their location public education system failed them.

Such people cannot, by definition, be considered dropouts, due to being precluded in the first place, either by failings of the system or by lack of money, also, there is nothing useful to study now that we have the internet, I am a self-taught neurosurgeon, I haven't attended so much as an orientation day.

I am a self-taught neurosurgeon

Actually, that is common practice in India. Guess Indians are the most progressive nation on earth, competing only with Russia!

What high education professions are viable outside of niche industry and academia professions?
Really makes you think.
Imagine a grand cataclysm wipes out electricity networks. How many viable higher education professions will be viable?
Oh, thats an "extreme example";
Lets imagine a severe economic downturn or a large-scale war.
How many pet psychologits or mathemathicians will be employed?
How many marine biologists or women studies majors?
Literature majors are not mentioned, obviously.

The difference is that college didn’t used to be a prerequisite for work, and fewer people went to college. But now, you need a bachelor’s degree to get hired, and people are treating universities as if they’re trade schools.

Yeah, this also doesn't take in account the dilution of quality in education. All these"privelege studies" and "degrees in feminism" take resources from actual education. Not to mention huge budgets wasted on sports and affirmative action scholarships.
