Did anyone else here fall for the College meme?

>tfw majoring in Statistics
>tfw learned nothing of use these 3 years

at least I'm graduating a semester early, I just want out of this hell hole called Higher """education"""

is this true? i might just go to trade school

Yep. Recently graduated to get offered at best 55K for wagecucking 40 hours a week and spending another 10 commuting and 5 unpaid lunch breaks. I asked for 65K and the boss said 55K is 'generous' so I told him to fuck off.

Making more than that peasant now selling coffee, tea, shoes, and other shit to hipsters online. Made 163K last year 2 years out of college.

Yes OP college is a meme but being a corporate slave/wagecuck is the bigger meme. The only reason it's seen as acceptable is because it's been normalized. Our ancestors would frown upon this madness.

if you do either trade school or college, I'm pretty sure everyone on this board will tell you Entrepreneurship is the true redpill at the end of the day. It's way easier to be an entrepreneur as a Tradesman though.

>Made 163K last year 2 years out of college.
Fucking christ, where did you learn the skills for setting up an LLC, accounting practices, and the like? I need to get on top of that.

>B-but if I save 20% of my paycheck, I'll be worth a couple of million when I'm 65 because COMPOUND INTEREST!

It's astonishing how people value their time

Sadly I wish I could continue my trade. I actually bulged a disc in my apprenticeship. It's been a pretty hard year.

Yep.

> 50k in debt

> Ended up starting a business that does not even require a HS degree

College was my biggest mistake, I had over 100k in investments before going to college, and being a high school drop out. I still have the investments, it's just I also had to waste 4 years getting an engineering degree I basically don't use, and paying off a 50k student debt. Waste of time and a waste of money for myself and most people.

As for wageslaving, it's not the worst thing for short periods if you're trying to build some savings or whatever. Sometimes you just need to slum it a little, and it's a much better hole to dig for yourself than going to college... At least a job pays you.

I can't do any trades, I'm afraid I'll just hurt my back again I don't want to go to college...

Went to university. I have a great easy job because of my piece of paper. The "Education" part is definitely a meme though you're not wrong. As soon as someone starts offering accreditation outside of the institutions the whole thing will go up in smoke.
