obligatory: this doesn't apply to STEM
if you're not interested in STEM or you're wary of the financial burden that's fine, learn a trade or something, but don't pretend the reason you're not going to college is because it's "completely pointless"
Shocking Data Show 40% Of American College Students Never Graduate
I dropped out of a PhD program for awhile while I was convalescing then went back. College was almost too easy. Annoying amount of busy work though, and hardly worth the money.
Race and gender. Women see colleges as dating pools to nab rich guys.
I dunno about the situation in America but over in good old Europe STEM is almost equally worthless as soft science unless you are a high-performance mathematician or happen to have specialized in a very small field that is currently sought after. You definitely cannot get by with "only" a general chemistry or biology or physics degree.
but it's definitely fullcuck
haha you have one thread whining about pedophiles on Youtube and this thread showing one of the best girls of all time - FukkenSaved
Back in the 1890s it was 90% and only the elite attended, now all the plebs get to learn how stupid they are while wasting their money as they usually do.
I mostly asked this because I remember reading here a few months ago how a large portion of students in majority black colleges do not graduate in 5 years. University is not representative of the population as is so they might make up more than 13% of that overall chunk of failures.
As if it's even possible to fail shit like black studies or gender studies. You can literally pass by inventing the most retarded bullshit on the spot.
I was talking about the racial and gender factors when it comes to failing college.
Even engineering can be dubious. What are you going to specialize in? Civil engineer = building logging roads in the mountains of BC. That's it and BC is pretty much logged out. So you're going to maybe have to move to Australia to get work, otherwise you're down in the construction pit with a shovel in your hand shoveling sand at $18.00 an hour. I know a chink civil engineer that went that route and he was not happy. He had to leave. I also know mech engineers that had to go back to school for nursing. Nurses can make $100k a year with OT. Mech engineer in western Canada? haha forget it.
