Are colleges a net positive or negative on society?
Net negative They are an expensive daycare that doesn't even teach kids
All educational institutions should be demolished.
The idea of colleges then was to train bureaucrats and statesmen. Same for in China. You had nobles learning Latin, French, Geometry, Law, War, Theology and more. Now its soulless crap like gender studies.
>>542076427They are a positive for like 20-30% of the top students.
>>542076427Net positive for my dick because I was a frat bro so pussy was extremely easy to get.
>>542076427Why are so many women lesbians?
Positive. Yes muh brainwashing muh 4 years of daycare etc. but it's good to train people en masse to do long form cognitive work

>>542076427>Are colleges a net positive or negative on society?A jewish scam to launder money, taxes, and give participation trophies to morons and colored immigrants.
>>542076427like everything good, it was corrupted by leftists, aka commies. Their goals are very simply to just destroy all foundations of societies and profiting from that
>>542076427You should be forced to study something rigorous if you're going to go to college, if you're going to take out loans and use public funds.
>>542076427Women going to college is a net negative for society. They should be men only.
>>542076427Complete net positiveAnyone saying shit like this is a tradie retard >>542076647Trades are needed but college forms children into adults in a very unique way that can't be replicated by anything other than a university.If you have a 4 year degree from ages 18-21, as you age you'll notice the difference in people's ability to think is very much affected by whether or not they had formation in a college environment. People equate "liberal" arts degrees with being "liberal", but that' because they're retarded. Even if college was mostly all liberal arts degrees, it's still a major net positive to society, because you have a population of people being trained in how to engage with many topics they may not be well-versed in and figuring out how to overcome that adversity.
positive
>>542076427Colleges are like prisons: essential and tremendously beneficial to a society when government funded, a cancerous blight on all people when run privately. Colleges were excellent when the states paid for them and their goal was to ensure that the country had a steady supply of well educated managers, engineers, and statesmen who could keep the wheels of civilization and innovation turning. They were basically free to attend, IF you met the high education standards to get past the application process. Since Ronald Reagan dropped the atomic bomb on the higher education system, however, they have become privately funded, which is to say that they are paid for by the students. So now attending college requires tens of thousands of dollars, putting virtually everyone in debt to attend them, and the college pockets the money. Which, inevitably, means that the goal of the college is the same as any other business: to have as many customers as possible. Actually producing elites is no longer what their purpose is, its to intake as many people as possible and charge them as much as possible for their degree. Whether that degree is actually worth the paper it is printed on no longer matters, just that they paid for it. The customer is always right, after all. If some dumbass 18 year old wants to get 60K in debt to get a degree in Theater, who are you to tell them no?Its a young adult daycare because thats what republicans turned it into, with the EXPLICIT purpose of keeping the majority of americans poor and stupid because that makes it easier to just straight up lie to them and have them believe it
>>542076427They are places where you do degenerate shit and build network that spread degeneracy

>>542076427>>542078017>>542079819It depends on what they're studying and why. STEM is important. Engineering is important. Medicine is important. Law and finance are good ways to make money but somewhat parasitic on the economy. MBAs decimate businesses and ruin companies. Then the degrees that don't matter which just saddle people with debt or qualify them to work in HR. Exposing the masses to stuff like Philosophy, Economics, or Political Science is probably a good thing since K-12 education in America sucks. The positives of universities outweigh the negatives since we would be worse off in a country or world with less technically educated people. We would be worse off if people were even dumber.I've had poorly educated people ask me how they power the reflectors on the side of the road. They passed high school. Trust me, people can be stupid. Especially since you basically just show up and graduate with a high school degree.
They are just a way to extract money from the working class and invest it in speculative markets further robbing the future from thier students
