get that was me 12 years ago
it doesn’t get better zoomers
at least youll be able to live home with your parents unlike me

Are you from a poor family? Do you have top grades and a spectacular array of extracurriculars, rec letters, test scores, and essay writing capabilities? Elite colleges will throw financial aid at you. The cost of attending Dartmouth for me, coming from a 70k family, was like 7k a year.

Are you from a poor family? Do you have shit grades? Your fault.

Are you from a rich family? Top grades? if ur family wont pay there are many tier 2 but amazing schools that will throw money at you on a merit based system to get you to come. Alabama isn't tier 2, but I know many who want there for free and in honors stem. USC will throw money at you in merit scholarships.

Are you from a rich family? Shit grades?
Your fault.

College being "expensive" is a meme that only people who are in the upper middle class have to deal with. Rich people have their families pay or get merit scholarships elsewhere. Poor get very generous financial aid from top institutions or even just good institutions. The upper middle class finds it hard to pay 60k a year for the top institutions but you can still go on a merit scholarship to places like Alabama or USC. USC throws out SO MANY merit scholarships. It is absurd. USC gives cash out the asshole to anyone who needs it

If you got shit grades than shut the fuck up because it was entirely your fault, stay poor.

Huge student debt is a meme only for art schoolers whos universities don't believe in financial aid, some law schoolers, and people too braindead to score above a 27 on the ACT

uh, hello, BASED department?
I'm in the UK (9k bongpounds per year tuition + additional living expenses) so not quite as much, but wages are lower here. There is NOTHING to complain about here. For the vast majority of people, student loans get written off after 30 years because they can't repay them in full. The repayment rate is so low that a lot of people don't even repay half of their loan. Very generous.

say it with me frens

not everyone is a robot and willing or motivated to slave away their childhood for the system

Now is unironically the best and only time you should be going to
School for plus 4 years.
Everything will be going up and lots of opportunity when your done.

Ok boomer

how many people have given up on work? They never include them.

Or maybe you're just low iq? The ACT is literally an iq test, aside from the writing portion

my buddy said he is getting more money being on unemployment instead of working, so god bless the USA

Average IQ = average ACT scores = no merit scholarships. IQ is something that is practically out of your control so how is it the fault on the person for not getting good ACT scores?

>Zoomers getting fucked over
Yey

Mfw figured out college was a scam before wasting 4yrs of my youth and 50k that I'll have to pay back for the next 20yrs with interest.

This is a copypasta, I've seen it before.

>poor grades
your fault. You can study for the ACT and boost your points but if you can't score decently, consider not going to college. It's literally a basic aptitude test.

I promise you and hope you believe this is not a larp. I got a good SAT score so I took the ACT once as a meme second semester as my junior year. I had never opened the book and the only tip I had was from when I was 8 and my brother said "bro the ACT science section is just graphs" and i clutched onto that for years. I had a weed hangover, walked into that exam room, and got a 35 after scratching my head at the science section for a good 10minutes and getting terrified that i fucked it up, i just went balls deep and got a perfect. If you cannot get at least a 30 on the ACT with your best effort then college is not for you. Consider community college, trade school, joining the military for the GI bill, ROTC, or various other tactics if you insist on it. otherwise, yes indeed you should not go to college.

I am the original author. I post it every fucking time because it never stops being true and I have no sympathy for these retards. I copy paste it every time one of these "har har college is a meme" threads pops up. No, college isn't a meme, you just went to a garbage university.

Yeah this just demonstrates you arent familiar with the elite admissions process at all. Know what school robots go to? We call it the University of California - Berkeley. Elite admissions is so much more than just grinding grades and test scores, this is why you have so many robotic bug people who get depressed that their straight A's and math competitions don't set them apart from every other chink. You have to legitimately do something that is valuable otherwise you are playing the "does my admissions officer like my essay that much?" lottery which is a shitty lottery to be in. These kids are olympians, inventors, or at the very least children of influential multimillionaires. Many of them have done more in their high school career than most people will do in their entire lives. It is absurd how much extraordinary shit they do, maybe because their parents pushed them but a lot from self motivation. This argument is always a cope.

Also, even if you do nothing, a 33+ ACT and 3.9+ GPA (which requires minimal effort for most educated people) will get you into the tier 2 university of your choice and they will THROW money at you. I'm looking at USC in particular. You don't have to aim Ivy, but you have to aim better than Literally Who State university.

millions. if they actually reported them it would be a clear case for socialism.

>The ACT is literally an iq test
>got a 35
Studying has minimal influence. You're score proves it. I understand that there are other options for the average person that studies and gets below a 30, but the idea that you just have to put in a bit of work to get merit college scholarships is an understatement.

>3.9+ gpa
The average is a 3.56, not far from 4. A 4.0 gpa can actually prevent you from getting a merit scholarship because it is so extremely common these days. Of course, you can waste away your childhood by taking multiple AP courses, leading school clubs.

If you're a retard and can't into math or science then I'm sorry but college is not for you. College is only useful for math/science degrees, everything else is bullshit. Low iq people rarely 'make it' in this world unless they try a thousand times and get lucky. That's darwinism, sorry user

It's fucking cringe, you retarded kike.
If you think that there are only TOP grades and bottom 5% dropout grades, then you see the world in black and white, like a fucking teenager. KYS, you are too underdeveloped for this board.

I'm not sure you get my point. At a good deal of universities, virtually all of them under the top 50, if you have 30 (or even like a 28+) you can get a full ride with a 3.5+ gpa. If you want to go to somewhere reputable, you have to score higher. I don't give a shit about the average person, their scores are within their control.

Also, taking multiple AP's is a joke. If you find AP courses hard, you may just be slow. They are designed for anybody who isn't straight up braindead. You aren't "wasting your life."

As for the school clubs, again, elite universities do not give a single SHIT if you led your school club. They want you to do something legitimate. There are countless 4.0's, 35 ACTs, captain of sports teams, and president of school clubs that get rejected. it means NADA. They want to see shit like "won the tournament of champions", "top ranked national athlete", "top 50 math competitor." That is what you are stacked against.

Here's the thing. If you go to Harvard or Yale or even fucking Dartmouth and you get a "bullshit" degree, you will still have an incredibly easy time finding employment. Many of my classmates got degrees in bullshit humanities and still make 100k+ just because of the institution.

However, if you aren't at a top 15, stick to STEM.

cool I need a new gardener

I need a good chef, but wait, this requires skill.
Sorry, zoomie, you are out of luck today.

Achieving top grades is the bare fucking minimum. It is not hard in the slightest to get perfect grades in high school unless you attend a difficult private school, in which you should have a dedicated support structure to help you also achieve that goal thanks to Daddy's and the School's $$$$.

If you can't achieve that or at least DECENT grades, then you really don't need to go to college at all and you can continue to complain about your meme degree from Literally Who university being worthless after they sucked out $60k a year from you.

Wow, that's really pathetic lmao.
