It seems that the new thing now is to tell everyone to get a trade and just say the hell with college. I'm all for anyone getting a trade or attending courses towards a degree, but what I don't understand is why the two pathways are considered adversarial. I had a blast back in college but the minute they were asking for more money, I dropped out. Fast forward to 2026, and "experts" are now saying "Just get a trade". As if it's a band-aid to fix the downward slope of Academic ability in America. Why is college not worth it anymore? Why is Education so undervalued in America? What the hell happened?
Because educated white people is what gives you elite political Nazism
>Education = marxist indoctrination => no demand
If you go to college just take it seriously, it's not the boomer area where a 3.0 in whatever the fuck will land you a career path job but it can still be worthwhile if you do it the right way

>>535426113education is kike propaganda for faggot leftists
>>535426113A better questions is why are trade still valued, faggot? Do you think the economy runs on trades? It doesn't. 100% of growth depends upon building the digital panopticon that is going to checkmate Americans for good.
overpriced leftist slop gee I wonder why
>>535426113it was subverted and co-opted by the fabians to keep the masses barely sentient
>>535426113Why isn't Education valued anymore?>They lower entry requirements for ethnic minorities >They give free money to ethnic minorities to get through it >There is a lack of high quality jobs, and DEI only hires those ethnic minorities
>>535426113More like mind control scams
>>535426113apparently the valuing started with Reagan when he was governor of California. Someone that worked under him was worried about an "educated proletariat." And unusual number of people were in college during the 70s to avoid going to war. Republicans saw educated people as a barrier to their own power and became by defending state funded institutions. it kicked off the trend of high tuition costs and needing to take out loans for education, instead of the government seeing the value of an educated public and providing it free. Democrats likes to defund schools to give money to privately owned charter schools. Republicans can only exist with an uneducated public.
>>535426113Because the colleges have just become cesspools of leftist indoctrination that brainwashes people with insane shit like trannies are women and niggers created all world historyEducation died the moment we allowed communists aka Kikes to teach
>>535426336>lust-provoking question >irrelevant, time-wasting imageThrot bed
>>535426113The future of education is online and in co-ops. You can give yourself a good education practically for free just by using online resources and free book downloads. Read the biographies and autobiographies of brilliant men. How were they educated? Replicate that.
>>535426157Educated white people are leftist.
Colleges are apparently where 'you learn to self teach'. Dude, you can do that right from the get-go. College is just a part of a gate-keeping cartel. Go pass the bar exam, USMLE, CFA, CPA for fun cause none of them are difficult. Just walk in from the street bare feet, with no shirt on. Destroy the exams with both hands tied behind your back and blindfolded. Do you think they will give you a job? LMAO. They will just tell you you ain't got the papers. It is meant to protect those who are already inside. Papered up and linked up.
If you go trades go union, pipefitter or commercial electrical. If you want small ball and working for yourself become a plumber or a residential electrician. Residential electrical is pretty gay ass work though, you'll spend whole days dicking around with stupid light fixtures with your hands above your head. But even tilers, framers and drywallers are going to be able to get by just fine, though that is not the kind of work you want to do past 40. Whatever trade you end up with spend 6 months or a year working for an old school General Contractor so you can get your ass kicked and see houses come together, you'll know the work flow of a full job and you'll experiment with enough different tasks that you will get a good sense of what you like and don't like doing.
>>535426113Universities are quasi government institutions. Most of what they teach is pseudoscience garbage.
>>535426113So what you’re saying is that you have no value
>>535426113AI will do the thinking for me or something
>>535428821So were alot of nazi's. Party was made up of college educated young men, veterans of the first war and tradesmen.
>>535426395Can you elaborate more on this?
>>535426113It was financialized to make it not profitable. There was no reason to charge more simply because grads would earn more. It makes no sense to go anywhere but healthy local or world class. The inbetween $100,000 per year mid ranked is a hamster wheel.
>>535426652Ok, out of all responses, I think you're the only one who understands where I was going with the engagement. So my next question is, Is college used to weaponize knowledge against the masses?
>>535426113>Go into debt to get a job>Oops we actually just gave that job to Rajesh insteadMany such cases
>>535426395>>535426448I think you both are just exaggerating. Back in my old college, there were groups from all walks of life that would assemble on an issue. One day, you'll have bible thumping lunatics with gruesome "Abortion is murder" trifold boards by the library, and the next day you'll see PETA eco-terrorists with gruesome "Meat is murder" trifold boards by the Cafeteria. I'm not saying certain colleges don't have political agendas due to their donors but simply calling all of them "leftist" is lazy and cliche.
>>535426113Charlie Kirk has the best takes on why college is worthless for the vast majority of Americans. If you want to understand why so many people dislike it just watch his cambridge debate he does about 5 to 10 minutes on it.
>>535431868Why do you think abortion isnt murder? What is the difference between a grown man killing a guy with a gun and a doctor pulling out a baby before it can survive outside the womb? There is no difference other than size and the way the two are killed.
>>535429359Exactly
>>535430710You can also hire a beaner or a jeet to go to the gym and do your workout for you.
>>535426113I'm pretty sure literally the only field that has has consistently had their wages go up is medical.
>>535431413I'm amazed at these no-name colleges charging Ivy League tuitions. Who goes there? Why not just go to the local state college instead?
>>535432281Ok that's not the topic, and that's not how I feel, but I appreciate your take on the issue as it's highly debatable and controversial. I was simply referring to the types of lengths people went about in displaying their views on the issue. I always manage to catch clips of his debates. I would have to go back and fully watch all of them to get an understanding of what you're referring to in particular.
>>535432115Or you could just give us a QRD of it.
>>535426113Education in the West is for dumbing down the masses. There is no actual education in schools and colleges in the West.https://youtu.be/HZp7eVJNJuw
>>535432115>Guy who lost every real debate was actually on to something!
>>535431232no
>>535426113>Make college retarded so women and niggers can do it>Why does no one care I did this adult daycare program anymore?
>>535427384Don't forget that kids are stuffed into Prussian soul crushing centers from the time they can walk so by the time they develop any kind of consciousness at all, they hate "education" because they know it only as a tortuous facsimile. Homeschoolers complete schoolwork in about 3 hours a day if that and consistently outscore both public and private students by wide margins on standardized tests.
Because it's leftist indoctrination and Jewish daycare.
Being an educated person for the sake of being an educated person is not valued in the capitalist, commodified United States ... the degree is a piece of paper to get you a job that pays more
>>535426113job market is saturated with talentless motherfuckers that only got into their respective professions to make those sweet sweet greenbacks. Education without career prospects is a lot like masturbating without ejaculation. Sure it may feel good to stroke your rod, but pretty pointless unless you let off a few rounds of baby batter.People seldom educate themselves for its own sake. Even though people that do are by and large superior to their lemming counterparts. I respect people who make an effort to inform themselves, it is refreshing to converse with such individuals. The rest of you worthless trash are the same people I ignore as I walk past you. Your cunt and 3-button ensemble are the only things you have going for you, without them you are as replaceable as chinese goods.
>>535426113college is almost entirely for nepobabies, and people who already had connections before going in. not saying you can't make it but just realize the chance isn't great. the high paying jobs they promised everyone are rare. the peasant class will always be the largest and chances are you belong to it. same as anyone else here.
