Working basically any serious job that requires one you will pay any debt you have, make up for the opportunity cost and begin rapidly outpacing low-skilled labor savings over the same period in like 5 years. The gap in wages is that big.

I agree 100%, but you're arguing with
a. retards with worthless degrees
b. retards too stupid for college and cope "I'm too smart for college"
Why bother arguing OP, let them wallow in their misery and low wages.

They are useless
>Serious job

I have no degree. I make 6 figures in a game animation job. I work from home most days and dick around playing King of Fighters. I also work on my own indie game with my gf in my free time. She has a degree and has a very cushy data job.

If you have a generic data job, a degree is useful. If you have a fun job like mine, a degree is worthless.

>inb4 your job will be replaced by AI/brownoids

I I live in Australia, we're already the cheap outsourcing for a British studio. I use AI every day at my job, which is why I can't afford to relax so much.

Plenty of 30 year olds who got a faggot degree in commerce or software engineering and then got lucky with a private equity job or an email pushing job at Google. They all think, "well it worked for me, it must work for everyone else." They don't realise they are an extremely small percentage, and the majority of their classmates regret going to uni

I just want my 130,000 dollars back. And I wish I worked at cold stone creamery for 15 years, instead of random temp office jobs in local government, banks and offices.
>>
>>62568317
Did you know it was going to be $130k? Imagine if you invested that in a gold mining ETF or some gay boomer investment, and collected dividends over that time. Imagine if you used that as a down-payment (idk how much houses cost in your city, in mine they typically start at $3 million Australian dollars for a shit hole).

My biggest motivation for starting my own game studio is so that my future children won't have to worry about going to gay university where they learn nothing, and they can just work for me. If people were given the choice of a degree, or just putting that money into a safe investment, I believe most would choose the latter.

I hope things go well for you anon

I used to have screaming fights with my mum every day in years 11 and 12, saying that I didn't want to study for 8 hours a day in high school and that I didn't want to go to university.

After I dropped out, got a job, got a better, then got a better job after that, I think she finally accepted that you don't need a degree. But it's so hard to comprehend the mind of a female boomer. No matter what, they think a degree is the most important thing in the world. It's their religion.

Traveling the world is a bit gay, not much to see, maybe check or Japan or something. IDK where you live, but you can have sex with local girls. The best thing really would've been to join a gym, do some boxing and muay thai, meet cute asian girls who are also into fitness, and then date them.

Spending 4 million dollars on gay traveling it's peak retard behaviour. I strongly believe that aliens visited Earth in the 1980s and made all boomer women retarded.

I have currently 7 "side hustles", netting me on average 7K/month (that is at 20h per week which sometimes is less sometimes more, just as I feel like)
No, I don't have any subordination to some cuck loyalist employer
No, I don't declare my income
No, I don't pay into socialist ponzi games
Yes, I regularly dump gigs if they bore me
And yes, my running costs are 1000 bucks per month, with 6000 getting transfered, as soon as they hit an oversea fin tech account with an IBAN serving as a proxy, to a shell company with accounts all around the planet, which then get further distributed into various other accounts.

Fuck the state, fuck the boomer paradigm, fuck boomer mind employers, fuck taxes, fuck predictable cashflow to "pension funds" and the "state"
>>
You're still not mentioning where the degree comes into play. You know, the thing you waste 4-6 years studying for. I'm sure you're an expert once you go into your first job right? After all that's a damned long amount of time and cost historically speaking.

oh wait it's more like

10% of what universities offer have real value.
Most degrees are worthless simply because there is zero market demand for it. Or the market demand is in another country cause industry got offshored so you have to move to a shithole to make use of your master.

Ive have friends with masters who went back to supermarket work because they got a master that looked "interesting" and then found out nobody needs them here and moving countries was too much for them.
>>
>>62568486
10% is till too high. tertiary "education" is a pure scam. It was the desperate post 2009 attempt by a bankrupt failed state to force credit expansion to not go belly up. Worked with Millenials and a few zoomers, the young zoomers and Alpha wont fall for the crap.

The credit expansion can only now come from the "state" and that is the straight path into a public bond market crisis that is going to break pretty much all Boomer governance states neck, and leaves the retards that remained loyal for 40 years and paid into ponzis for 40 fucked.

I don’t have a degree and I make more money than you, and the four years you spent in school I spent working.
>>
>>62568506
There are some good jobs that require a master in math, engineering, chemistry,... . And i mean require as in legally required to get the job and because the degree is hard it also filters competition decently. I started with 300+ first semester and only 27 finished the bachelor. Of the 3 guys i know all got employed.

On the other end absolutely fucked was geography (friend had to move to australia for job while another 2 literally work supermarket now because they didnt wanna leave everyone behind)


Biggest surprise however was dude working construction. Dude is risking his ass and nearly got killed several times but he has half the year no work and is just chilling. Though his life aint that easy either as money is short.
>>
>>62568486
Universities test you for not being an ape. Showing the slip of paper to an employer immediately tells him you can organize your time, learn, behave and work in a group. It's a good goy shortcut. The slip being useful is just a bonus. I have a STEM bachelor's degree and the time investment was definitely worth. Within 3 years I financially caught up to and surpassed my office drone friends who didn't go to uni and just worked right after high school.
>>
>>62568564
>legally require
yeah. Those are the boomerX employers that hardly have a highschool diploma that screech
>w-we need qualified work force
>p-please import more foreigners
and then think they can bait the qualified work force with 50k/year because some "unionist cpntract" written 50 years ago says that is the "usual pay"

Fucke these jobs, fuck these companies that really believed that having the potential workforce pay for the "education" the risk and then get them for practically free. These companies are going to disappear, because its simply irrational to ever work for them. They are gone in 5 years when the boomerX suddenly realizes that their is nobody to follow him; gets liquidated and leaves him fucked, because well, the "pension" he guaranteed himself under the assumption that the company is going to exist and procide a cashflow to him until he eats dirt, is gone
>>
Majority of the time you're right but there's a small fraction where if you didn't have capital/cash flow during a golden opportunity to buy, for example, march 2020, then it's not worth it. But you obviously needs the conviction to buy and hold during those rare occasions as well so you're definitely overall correct. There's just some exceptions who pulled it off.

College is absolutely a scam, on-the-job training would be preferable for virtually any profession. An 18 year old intelligent white man can be trained to do anything. College acts as nothing but a middle man.
That being said, it's still a viable path to get a relatively comfy job as long as you choose something decent.
A lot of retarded copers like this guy >>62568598

Oh a BASED centrist. Get fucked retard. The trend is clear cut. Young zoomers and Alpha have no interest in the tertiary education scam, the BoomerX fucked its ponzi and the state failed. Your boomer mind is going to not comprehend it, when a 9mm is pointing at his head and he suddenly realizes there is nobody coming to save him, despite having been a loyalist to a failed state

>BASED centrist
Nothing I said was political at all. You're telling anons to live like a dirty nigger their entire life just to avoid paying into social security or whatever. That's retarded. My theory on guys like you is you often have prior felony convictions that close a lot of doors and so you crab bucket other guys while pretending you're taking some principled political stand.

yea i gotta admit my resume bought me a super comfy job after losing my career 6 years ago due to not vaxxing. in this job market thats pretty insane.

>>62568794
You would work with a female boss and you will like it.
>>
>>62568787
you right that its a scam of course, companies are essentially outsourcing training cost to your parents paying for college through taxes and not just college fees.

My argument was merely the hard degrees can be still worth doing. Its like a lottery you are certain to win, the house wins most of course but you get also a fat stack from all the other losers participating with the false hope of winning. I did a stem degree where we had 300 freshman and less than 30 finished their degree. So i don't have to compete with 90% of the potential applicants filtered by the degree. Thats the main feature for me.
>>
>>62569127
College is there to siphon money and in return it provides "meritocracy" and everyone getting "a fair shot."
A serious system that takes productivity and efficiency seriously would simply funnel high-class nepo hires directly into jobs at 18 and train them directly. You can absolutely take an intelligent 18 year old white man and turn him into an electrical engineer with on the job training and zero college. In fact, it would be much easier to do so. The amount of waste this would reduce is enormous but we have to continue financing this delusion that Glocktavius from da 'hood has a secret innate talent to revolutionize technology that is just waiting to be unlocked if he's just given a chance.
The seething barteranon is correct that the system is retarded and wasteful, but if this is our lot in life the best you can do is get what you can from it.

The kids who fucked about in school are now doing plastering, plumbing, etc, and make far more than me who spent 8 years in education after school.
I'll never have children because I fucked up, but if I did I would slap them if they wanted to go down the university route.

I got a job without a degree while everyone around me had one. We made the same amount of money and experience and seniority weighed more on the pay rate. HOWEVER, to become the actual “boss” you needed a 4year degree in anything slightly related. Which made people backstabbers just for a $10k pay increase. (Higher tax bracket now too) I quit after 5 years because I didn’t want to buy into the drone mentality which this type of environment breeds.

Now I drive people to doctors appointments and work alone with a take home work vehicle. Happiness isn’t always about money. Free time, no supervision, lower stress are what I value higher at this point.
