I am not against those who went to college just to earn a college degree, the problem is that college is nothing more than a money making scheme.

I'm going to college for computer science...interesting how I've learned 100x more in the past 2 years on my own than I will ever learn in college (based on courses I'm taking and plan to take). Also interesting how my father, a college drop out, makes more than my mother who has a 4 year criminal justice degree. My dad brings in more than twice what she does by working at a plant.

The lowering of our standards together with the pandering on both the State and Federal level to the special interest groups with regards to hiring practices is one problem. The government incentivizes the private sector to hire people based on various tax breaks/mandates.

LOVE THIS SONG. its beautiful, and it really instills a sense of just how severe this whole situation is.
College is the biggest scam in history. They're in the businesses of making money. Nothing more, nothing less. The product they sell is hopes and dreams to the hopless and greedy. The only people making out with exuberant amounts of money are the professors. The average professor's salary was $70,000 a year. This is madness.

Congragulations my friend, you passed the test. Like Nassim Nicholas Taleb author of The Black Swan says, "Don't trust anyone who wears a suit and tie, they don't know what they're talking about."
They just want your money. No more, no less.
