Is higher education worth it?

I am skeptical to institutions of higher education, such as colleges and universities. Pic related is the sort of crowd one might come across.

But it cannot be all bad if people still chose to go? For instance, if you want to be an accountant, you need a degree?

Yes you need a Bachelor's or do trade school minimum.

I am curious what Veeky Forums thinks about the following masters degrees
>ms computer science
>ms electrical engineering
>MBA

you better stay away for the sake of educated people that actually go there

Yes you need some type of higher education in your life if you ever want to have a reasonable chance at success.

...

God forbid you meet people different from you OP. Remain in your comfort zone and stagnate

They let a fucking gorilla out.

Just go to a school in a red state or go to a private Christian college.

Most are useless. Only STEM, Medical field and Law are still decent. The rest are bullshit these days and overly dominated by sjw bullshit.

is that a man or a woman in the middle? or a fully grown orangutan male?

all that mystery meat in your picture needs to go, cant wait for the whiplash back from all this degeneracy. People like that will be hanging in the streets in the future

But you need a degree in business to get a job as an accountant or even a stock broker?

I wonder who paying for this "things" education?

Don't listen to pol retards. Look up "average earnings with education".

In muttland the average college educated person earns double the average high school graduate, in the uk where I live the difference is nowhere near that big (but it's still worth going)

It will only get worse.

People tend to forget that degrees teaches you 0 work experience.
I have my own company and in interviews they always brag that they spent 5 years studying and places 20+ papers on my desk, but when asked what they actually know then they rarely give any good examples.

In software, learning a platform or language is far more superior than wasting 5+ years studying.

I got my master in software engineering and I got blown the fuck out by kids who dropped out after HS and learned on their own. I didn't know shit about how to adjust to platforms or companies.

Degrees are overrated.

>'education'

The humanities are full of retards, the rest is mostly fine, as far as I can tell.

So as long as you are into business/law/science/med/engineering you're good.

Just be careful not to go to a shitty SJW Uni.

Fortunately, if you're into the humanities you can get a top tier education just through reading the relevant literature yourself.

No-one needs a degree in the humanities/arts. It's a total meme.

If you have talent in the arts, you can move straight into the market.

If you want a job somewhere the humanities are relevant, a degree in anything else would be better, just be sure to do your reading.

Don't forget "user" can be failed for not putting in good essays...
>Pic related meanwhile....
Cannot fail, literally not legally allowed to be fail in the current year.
Completely diminishes the stature & worth of whatever faculty said retard chooses to attend.

Agreed, working experience triumphs over "degrees"

>he fell for the college meme.
Learn sales
>no degree required
>needed in literally every industry
>needed in most facets of life (e.g., dating)
>top salesmen are among the highest paid in any company
>work harder = more money
>sweet incentives for meetings quotas like gifts/cash giveaways
Biggest benefit imo:
>save a shit ton of money not falling for sales tactics, yourself.

Downsides
>bad sales week = shit/no pay
>people skills required
>moralfags need not apply
>can be high pressure to perform
>your pay/commission structure can get fucked by management
>marketing can be retards
>timid salesmen have skinny kids.

You. The taxpayer.

Nepotism.
This is one of the main reasons for the downfall of western culture in the last 20 years.
Nepotism has been made illegal to suit the equality/diversity narrative.
There's a reason names like Smith, Mason & Goldberg we're given over thousands of years.

What you learn from a degree is not important, how much work you have to put in to achieve a degree is everything. The harder the degree the more worth it has.
It's a litmus test for being trusted at higher positions in a company.

"Stand up and fight for your freedom!"
>Brings a chair

You figured out the game, user.

Sales is hard. But you can make it big if you try.

Steps involved:

1. Join local public speaking club
2. Read everything by Cialdini
3. Read everything about Account Management concept
4. Read everything about good communication (or just copy what Trump does).
5. Dress properly - buy a fucking suit.

I would love to party with those guys. Party hard and drunk.

>tfw got hired as an engineer after only going to school 2.5 years and dropping out


College is a meme, become a lifelong learner and do cool shit

Dude, don't get educated if your goal is to become crypto billionare. For that you just need luck.
