The University system is a hustle, it's a business.
The degree is usually NOT worth what you invest into it.
100% Spot on.
They just ran an article in Chicago Tribune a day or 2 ago how all these MBA and master's grads are working as bartenders, waitresses...etc. Because they can't find jobs. A degree is useless if you do not go practice it.
Who the fuck needs humanities and history classes as a pre-med student or engineering? It's fucking pointless to spend a few grand on a class where you learn about history when you want to be anything other than a fucking librarian or history buff.
I HAD to take fucking pointless classes as a biology major...few I can recall. Intro to Religion, Bible as Lit, World History, ...etc. Those fucking classes should be offered in high school...NOT college where you have to pay money for them.
Few of my buddies are Finance, Accounting, Bio majors.
NONE of them work at a job where their major comes in handy.
I'm not saying college is bad, but people do not really see it as what it really is. A for profit business just like any other.
