Blog #11: is university a bunch of garbage?

University isn't very helpful for real life. I mean they teach you all this stuff and test you on it. How does that have anything to do with getting a job/career or being a functional human being?

Really, you spend all this money for several years and then you're behind in the world in terms of experience within the work world. Employers are always looking for experience, not "OMG, you don't have a credit in medieval art history?!?" We can't hire you!

Seriously, am I making any sense here? Did my cash just line the pockets of university professors and bureaucrats (who, by the way, couldn't function the real world in itself...)

School is for fools, don't waist your money. You will be surprised how many successful people are drop out.

[landongendur]

@hollapro - I agree. Even Steve Jobs was a dropout and look at what he created!

You have been prepared to become a starving 'arteest.' If your art is exceptional, other people will make money off it after you're dead. What's in it for you? Not much money.

@alfekal - lol, which is precisely why I became a landlord instead. Much more money to be made in it!

No Offense but an Art Degree? that kinda says it all

[landongendur]

@karan6 - not just an Art degree, but a FINE art degree of all things. Looking back I should've spent the $56,000 on a rental property before the prices in Canada exploded back in 2007.

@dutytocareforothers - It's been 2 years since I was last in college and I didn't even use anything I've 'learned' - other than finding out the residence dorms are where the money is made!!

[dutytocareforothers]

Yes college is garbage. Profscam is a really good book that proves it to be true.

Lol, that's for the compliment. I liked to look good for the camera back then :P
