A bachelors degree is an unnecessary requirement for simply getting a job. it no longer has anything to do with knowledge acquisition as it's become a litmus test for employers.

@cjn9999 The entire system is rotten, full of disgusting criminals, and the suck ups that look for a sugar daddy to give them presents that they'd never be able to build for themsleves. IF a person is actually productive the government on behalf of the bankers, plunders them and shuts them down.
There is no money, only irredeemable debt currency. Bankers are all criminals, and all the high echelon bankers belong in prison for the rest of their lives.
In a good economy a college grads can expect to get many offer and can be a bit choosey, but in a bad economy they must actively seek out work, even ones where they feel are a bit beneath them. A degree only gives you a chance to get in the door the rest is up to you, it isn't a guarantee seating for life.
@vcdna1 When was the last time in America where there was such a good economy as you suggest?
The only thing i've ever seen or heard of is a disgusting futile grind, and dead end roads. From what I see the only value to corporations of a degree is the DEBT that it sinks a sucker into. That gives the bankers a huge income to roll into the corporations, the corporations end up owning your ass for life if they ever let you in at all, and only being in a Crime Family gives any real hope at all.
@centurion180ad The period from 93- early 2000 were good economy, we had set backs from the dot com bust, followed by 9/11. We recovered in 2002 and had good years till 07. Are you telling me you believe none banking corporations want you to get a degree so you could be in debt?
@vcdna1 After 1995 were great years for plundering jackasses to suck up to the bankers. Anyone that was remotly honest and productive was gotten rid of. The economy such as it is, is based upon plunder and slaughter of foreign people. Bankers all belong in prison.
@Bloodsport1: thanks for sharing because i got a email from somebody telling me i made that story up and nobody with a degree that high works on a lower level like that. Your story proves people are doing what they have to these days just to make ends meet....and sometime that's not enough. On top of all that...we now have all these illegals in thecountry taking jobs from real citizens. Our lame gov't has done nothing to clean up this mass migration of illegals into our country.
Well, degree don't make a person. It's the person himself. If you are not the quickest, most effient worker, of course they are not gonna take you if there is only 1 position.
@VanillaSnow23 I know this is a really really late response but seeing you didn't get a proper answer....Tech School(for some reason i was told they are not considered colleges' so i am informaing based off of what i know) Two years or less, 5 to 10 thousand dollars, some schools don't make you pay until one year after you get a job..that they help you find. That's how.
PEOPLE READ THIS!!!!! GO TO TRADE OR TECH SCHOOLS!!!!! THEY HELP WITH JOB SEARCH SOME SCHOOL PRIDE THEM SELVES ON BEING ABLE TO FIND JOBS FOR STUDENT NOT HOW MANY GRADUATE!!! TRADE SCHOOLS AREN'T JUST FOR AUTOMOTIVE!! THEY HAVE TECHONOLGY, COSMOTALOGY, CULINARY, WELDING, PRINTING, AND COMPUTER PROGRAMMING, AND SOO MUCH MORE!!! COLLEGE IS WORTH IT JUST NOT 4 YEAR COLLEGE!! YOU CAN GET YOUR CERITIFCATE OR DEGREE IN 2 YEARS OR LESS!!!! LOOK IT UP!!!!
@BlackMetalWhiteZombi: I agree but couldn't get her to see that. She was told by my parents all her life that is her ticket to a better life. She will start to get her student loan bills inthe next few weeks. So sad for her....she is such a hard worker.
After I graduated college I went and got a 2 year tech. degree in aviation maintenance and machining. It was the best move I ever made! For 15 years it has put a roof over my family's head, clothes on our backs and food on the table. My college degree hasn't done me jack shit but my tech degree opened several doors!!
Fuck college up, down and sideways!! My only regret is that I cant get the money I wasted on that college bullshit back!
Same here in Britain. I have a geography degree (wtf was I thinking). I wish I had took an apprenticeship at 16. My friends are forging careers in electrics, engineering etc and I'm stuck doing factory work for shite money. No experience = no job, no job = no experience. Its really depressing.
It doesn't matter if you went to college in Birmingham, England or Birmingham, Alabama. You have wasted four years of your life just to get a worthless degree that does not guarantee you a job.
Hindsight is a terrible thing. I am 25, I'm not finished yet. I'm currently volunteering at a school for children with Special Educational Needs. I WILL make a career for myself but only I can make it happen. I think a lot of uni students think they will walk straight into a £30k a year job. They are finding out different, especially in the current job market.
@spire1997 Well they SHOULD, after all that studying they should be able to get a decent paying job. My father, after he graduate, got a job at a accountant, the first job he quit because the pay was TOO LOW and my dad found a better paying job which he work for 30 years.
I am one of them. Its just not that easy nowadays. Far too many people are at University. Most are as thick as two short planks with no common sense whatsoever.
I agree that Degrees are becoming more and more worthless. Still though it's the person behind the degree that's worth something. If you're a dumbass with a degree . . . You're still a dumbass. A piece of paper will never change that.
This is so true because i met a lady 2 weeks ago working in McDonalds and she has a master degree. Her degree is a worthless piece of paper....she works next to a guy who only has a GED and they make the same amount of money. College is a joke and a trick. She told me the sadest part of all of this is that the bills for her student loans are pouring in and she has to dedicate all she is making at McDonalds to pay that one bill. America is one twisted ass country and full of lies and tricks.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker She would've been better off learning a trade. She'll be lucky if she doesn't end up homeless. College is nothing more than a Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker Hey that sounds like me except I dont work at McDonald but I do work with a bunch of g.ed's people and I have a degree,graduate high school, gone to college.
It pisses me off when I hear people saying university degrees are useless. If you expect to use a strainer as a cup for your coffee you won't get far, but don't say the strainer is useless, you're just using it for the wrong fucking thing. Not to mention, people consider things useless or useful to the extent it helps them get paid. University education is to train legal, medical, business, and health professionals, scholars, and public servants. Don't try to use it for something it isn't meant
@McTaggStar: for, then balk at it and call it useless when it doesn't work out for you. If you want to get a good job and make lots of money, don't take the passive road and expect your education to do all the work for you. Get out there and volunteer, network, build your resume, be involved with the community, and get an education that is relevant. Don't go get a BA then complain that it is useless. Buck up and put in the hard work. And don't push the blame onto the universities.
Did this happen to you? Investigations are under way throughout New Jersey. Take a stand today. Visit newjerseyconsumerprotection (dot) com and file a complaint.
At the 11:30 mark, the guy hits it right on the nose. In these tough economic times, service based skills are completely worthless. Get in to trade or production based work and suddenly opportunities are everywhere.
@SPRS4 Exactly. I got into welding after high school and now clear $40,000 a year. I laugh at the bozos who went to college and ended up working at Mick D's.
@BlackMetalWhiteZombi, it's not that much, it involves dangerous physical work and most likely you don't have a fixed salary, which means that your hours can be cut. If it comes to that, salaried jobs and salaries can be cut, too, but you don't get the more dignified treatment and stability those people get. No need to talk, explain or negociate: your boss will just cut your hours. And think of raises, promotions, and how small your income will seem once you have a family.
@VanillaSnow23 yeah being in debt $200 000 is worth a piece of paper that 70% of graduates dont even use after leaving college so yeah im 15 i aint wasting my time on college im an A student even so im bored at school and its too much of inside the box thinking e.g this is the way it is if u answer wrong in your exam then 0 no other way. im starting a company with my dad and i bet thats gonna make more money than being in a college thank you.
@fashanu1000 Exactly, I learned more in one year just going to a public library and teaching myself than I ever did in my entire 12 years of grade school. If I had known what I know now about so called "public education" I would never have wasted my time going through with it. I feel like I've wasted so much of my time on useless nonsense.
You do learn thinking inside the box if you want to stay employed. For instance, you must be punctual, ask for permission to do things and follow instructions and procedures. A degree may buy you a small amount of freedom and dignity in the workplace. Instead of asking the boss for permission to go to the washroom, you will be the guy who gives permission, does not need it for himself for minor things and may even be allowed to make some minor rules of your own or waste a small amount of time.
It is wrong on every level. He lies about what classical economics is. He lies about the nature of interest, and he lies & lies & lies about the factual nature of MONEY, and by that I mean actual real money, not fraud-theft irredeemable mass murder paper of the Debt Syndicate.
@centurion180ad Dude an actual argument will help. I am really trying to understand where you're coming from but its illogical and incoherent. Keynes theory came about from results of the great depression the use of automatic stabilizers during economic declines to keep up consumption. In regards to the money issue is it fractional reserve banking and the dropping of the gold standard you're talking about? The gold standard was exceptionally volatile and creates too many boom/bust cycles
Keynes’ General Theory is //all// lies, a con job to get the public to go along and keep going with it. The entire largess is to buy off the judges, attorneys & politicians. That they have done, in spades.
What Keynes and his criminal coconspirators did after World War One was plunder and shut down the wage, pension & clearing funds. The NECESSARY consequence of these predations was the Great Depression.
He was no remedy, HE WAS THE CAUSE of that disaster.
@centurion180ad remember Keynes theories was to create conditions favorable to employment by using monetary polices. Politicians adapted it because mass unemployment creates social unrest. I understand Keynes, Friedman and Marx. I personally do not pick and choose but understand the theories in context of the times they were created. I like capitalism and socialism but with limaitaions for each. Here in Canada we have a reasonable mix of public (healthcare ect) and private services & I love it!
@sironisix The gold standard has and always will be remarkably stable, and national growth rates are amazing under it. That is why Germany was going gangbusters before World War One.
The old bullion system and certainly if we applied it again today, is //more// complicated and ///more/// dynamic that the Marxist command economy of mass murdering Debt Syndicate centralization that is going on now.
FYI Marx was a front man, for the mass murdering Debt Syndicate.
@sironisix It is an international mafia of mass murdering BANKERS, that buy governments-of-treason, that are plundering the planet of all its resources human & natural, and that then use those plundered assets to pay for the slaughter of millions of people.
@centurion180ad well so far they still control our government and all main stream media and major institutions, we need to hang those bastards high, college is a farce, they keep stealing ppls money and get away with it, when will people wake up?
@sironisix LOL I guess that you don't know that the General Theory of Keynes is the world's largest FRAUD, and that the General Theory of Keynes IS ALL LIES.
General Theory is a hoax, it is FALSE on its very face, and all of today's mass murdering Debt Syndicate fraud/theft and War of Aggression is based on its lies.
@centurion180ad lol just calling something false does not make it false. If you took the time to put together the flaws in Keynes macroeconomic theory and present it in an argument then I can say you may have a point. But you're just blowing hot air and following the cry against bankers in recent years. YOU have no idea the kind of work that is done and the skills required to work in finance. Go try a CFA or GMAT quiz and see the level of aptitude required. It will blow your pea brain. ;) :P
@sironisix //You// have not read the General Theory, Adam Smith or David Ricardo so you are in no position to demand ANYTHING of anyone Buster, boy-O.
We the People have been badmouthed by you lying cheating thieving murdering discriminating Free Mason criminals for the last time. Keynes IS //ALL// LIES!
I don’t give a good God damn what attorney or MBA criminals that are robbing everyone say. They are going to PRISON, along with their banker mafia bosses.
But why do they have to be so important in the first place? They are useless parasites who have appointed themselves between people and their own money. Most people don't get paid cash any more, so they need banks just to access their own pay. As a matter of fact, money itself used to be less important when people were largely self-sufficient, for instance on a farm. Paid employment, too, was less widespread as more people didn't need to be wage slaves. Women's liberation just enslaved us.
@centurion180ad Everybody likes to point fingers but it take TWO to tango. Greedy bankers, need greedy customers to be successful. The college students and their parents are just as much to blame for thier greed as well in buying things they can't afford and not educating themselves(beyond school text books) about how things really work. I got family sooo brainwashed on this college degree nonsense that even though I'm WAY more successful, they look at me like "oh you poor uneducated soul". SMH
@carlylespicks Greedy customers? You mean like veterans in poverty or students upto their eyeballs in debt that must then hustle for the debt-fiat scam of Federal Reserve Notes, or be thrown into the street?
We have no choice
Professions demand degrees, and once you have them you're in debt to the God damn bankers who control everyting. Then they tell in-debt educated man you are too male, or too old, or too young, or too not-brown, or any other excuse not to hire what he is trained for.
@centurion180ad Sorry but I'm very successful and did not go to college and I'm USAF vet. People like to point fingers but the students who use credit cards to buy things they can't afford and who are too lazy to work are just as greedy as the "bankers". They are young, but what about their greedy parents driving around in leased BMWs they can't afford who didn't teach their kids the value of money and hard work? Greedy bankers CANNOT survive without greedy customers...that is a FACT!
@carlylespicks I agree that rapacious avarice has inflicted America in a very bad way.
Your argument seems to suggest that there is an alternative to the banker imposed plundering, debt enslavement and austerity measures. There is no available alternative, and everything I’ve seen to this date demonstrates that employers discriminate against enlisted veterans.
@centurion180ad Its a FUCKIN LIE! College is a SCAM! Its all designed to take your money, Useless bullshit classes! and there's no jobs anyway! People with master's degrees are working in Home Depot!! You will need a PhD to work in Fast food soon! and wash dishes!!
What opportunities in college? There's only a few internships that go to few people. These people need to be specific on what these opportunities are. Is it the opportunity to be a debt serf?
@angelis021 thats not true If u do what u are suppose to do u will have plenty of opportunities to get an intership the problem is that a lot of people go to college and think that u dont have to hussle to get what you want. Most people who go to college shouldnt because they are mostly not ready and a tech school requires less hussle so it is easy to go their and coast into a job.
@angelis021 Its a FUCKIN LIE! College is a SCAM! Its all designed to take your money, Useless bullshit classes! and there's no jobs anyway! People with master's degrees are working in Home Depot!! You will need a PhD to work in Fast food soon! and wash dishes!!

There is no money, only irredeemable debt currency. Bankers are all criminals, and all the high echelon bankers belong in prison for the rest of their lives.

In a good economy a college grads can expect to get many offer and can be a bit choosey, but in a bad economy they must actively seek out work, even ones where they feel are a bit beneath them. A degree only gives you a chance to get in the door the rest is up to you, it isn't a guarantee seating for life.

@vcdna1 When was the last time in America where there was such a good economy as you suggest?
The only thing i've ever seen or heard of is a disgusting futile grind, and dead end roads. From what I see the only value to corporations of a degree is the DEBT that it sinks a sucker into. That gives the bankers a huge income to roll into the corporations, the corporations end up owning your ass for life if they ever let you in at all, and only being in a Crime Family gives any real hope at all.

@vcdna1 After 1995 were great years for plundering jackasses to suck up to the bankers. Anyone that was remotly honest and productive was gotten rid of. The economy such as it is, is based upon plunder and slaughter of foreign people. Bankers all belong in prison.

It pisses me off when I hear people saying university degrees are useless. If you expect to use a strainer as a cup for your coffee you won't get far, but don't say the strainer is useless, you're just using it for the wrong fucking thing. Not to mention, people consider things useless or useful to the extent it helps them get paid. University education is to train legal, medical, business, and health professionals, scholars, and public servants. Don't try to use it for something it isn't meant

If you want to get a good job and make lots of money, don't take the passive road and expect your education to do all the work for you. Get out there and volunteer, network, build your resume, be involved with the community, and get an education that is relevant. Don't go get a BA then complain that it is useless.

@BlackMetalWhiteZombi, it's not that much, it involves dangerous physical work and most likely you don't have a fixed salary, which means that your hours can be cut. If it comes to that, salaried jobs and salaries can be cut, too, but you don't get the more dignified treatment and stability those people get. No need to talk, explain or negociate: your boss will just cut your hours. And think of raises, promotions, and how small your income will seem once you have a family.

You do learn thinking inside the box if you want to stay employed. For instance, you must be punctual, ask for permission to do things and follow instructions and procedures. A degree may buy you a small amount of freedom and dignity in the workplace. Instead of asking the boss for permission to go to the washroom, you will be the guy who gives permission, does not need it for himself for minor things and may even be allowed to make some minor rules of your own or waste a small amount of time.

The General Theory of Keynes, is ALL lies!
It is wrong on every level. He lies about what classical economics is. He lies about the nature of interest, and he lies & lies & lies about the factual nature of MONEY, and by that I mean actual real money, not fraud-theft irredeemable mass murder paper of the Debt Syndicate.
centurion180ad 10 months ago
@centurion180ad Dude an actual argument will help. I am really trying to understand where you're coming from but its illogical and incoherent. Keynes theory came about from results of the great depression the use of automatic stabilizers during economic declines to keep up consumption. In regards to the money issue is it fractional reserve banking and the dropping of the gold standard you're talking about? The gold standard was exceptionally volatile and creates too many boom/bust cycles

@sironisix Here it is.
Keynes’ General Theory is //all// lies, a con job to get the public to go along and keep going with it. The entire largess is to buy off the judges, attorneys & politicians. That they have done, in spades.
What Keynes and his criminal coconspirators did after World War One was plunder and shut down the wage, pension & clearing funds. The NECESSARY consequence of these predations was the Great Depression.
He was no remedy, HE WAS THE CAUSE of that disaster.
centurion180ad 10 months ago
@centurion180ad remember Keynes theories was to create conditions favorable to employment by using monetary polices. Politicians adapted it because mass unemployment creates social unrest. I understand Keynes, Friedman and Marx. I personally do not pick and choose but understand the theories in context of the times they were created. I like capitalism and socialism but with limaitaions for each. Here in Canada we have a reasonable mix of public (healthcare ect) and private services & I love it!

But why do they have to be so important in the first place? They are useless parasites who have appointed themselves between people and their own money. Most people don't get paid cash any more, so they need banks just to access their own pay. As a matter of fact, money itself used to be less important when people were largely self-sufficient, for instance on a farm. Paid employment, too, was less widespread as more people didn't need to be wage slaves. Women's liberation just enslaved us.
