This is why I went to college and why you should too (satire 😊)

The most intelligent way to start making a lot of money is to find a way to get at least $100,000 in debt before you even begin making money, so this is why you should go to college.

College isn't for most people it's for all people. If you don't get a degree then you're declaring you want to be homeless, unhappy and a failure for the rest of your life.

Having a college degree has now been the standard for so long that everyone in the workforce has one. So, you having one makes you just like everyone else and at the same time somehow your degree sets you apart from everyone else. If you don't see the brilliance and how this helps you then you're not very intelligent and you clearly didn't go to college.

Your college degree is social validation that your are someone. You earned it and you earned it by paying for it, there's no other ways to verify that you’re an intelligent person capable of success in doing big things in the world.

Imagine that people were born with brilliance, potential, vision, creativity and ability then we wouldn't need college. But that's not the fantasy world that we live in from what I’am told. So, I think, it's important to acknowledge that those qualities are only found in university education.

If you don't go to college there's no chance that you'll have a successful career. Success isn't dependent on hard work, vision and creativity, it's solely dependent on the degree you achieve before you even start achieving in your career. I can't think of anyone who's successful who doesn't have a degree not a single person especially not anybody that inspires me what excites me.

Even more than $100,000 of tuition costs for a degree and all the interests that you have the opportunity to pay on that loan, this has even more value to your college education because it means you pay more for your education than what your education costs… because you can't afford your education.

Teachers, who only teach a subject rather than actually doing the subject out in the world, are the true purveyors of wisdom. They're, basically, like the wise elders in our society and they're, definitely, the wise sages that you’re willing to go into debt for half of your life for so you can learn from them.

From early elementary school you were taught to think that you need to do well in school so that you can get accepted into college, so that you can have a successful career. Since that's what you was taught to think, that's what you should actually think, therefore, getting a degree is not only a guarantee that you'll have a successful future, but you would think that it's the only way you can have a successful future. That's a fact because there isn't a way to get free information about anything anytime you want it.

I think, universities are completely justified in charging the prices that they do because 30 years ago a college degree would set you apart, it means it still does today. It's just like once upon a time a horse and buggy was the most effective form of transportation. Then came cars then came, airplanes, but even still to this day a horse and buggy is the most effective form of transportation.

What kind of job would you have now that you are out of college? You, probably, would be unemployed, but don’t worry, you can always get a job at the local McDonalds restaurant!!!

Going to college can indeed be a path to success, but it's essential to consider all aspects, including the financial investment. While the satire in this post highlights some of the absurdities surrounding the college experience, it's also crucial to have resources that can aid you academically. I recently came across a read https://medium.com/@george.kv/paperial-a-comprehensive-review-2024-9bc26e767186 of a helpful college tool that might be of interest. Balancing humor with practical advice, this post underscores the importance of making informed decisions about higher education. Thanks for sharing, Alex!
