Education sucks.

[emsley]

I think as long as you get high school out of the way that further education (unless your doing something awesome like brain surgeon, or rocket scientist) is pretty much something you can do off your own back.

 

Its funny how people like to piss on others dreams and get their superiority feeling from their education.

I know a ton of guys with degrees and A-levels and advanced know how, and it never really served them as it was supposed to.

 

Isnt it pretty weak to think get your sense of self worth from an higher education?

I know im asking for the impossible in thinking everyone is equal regardless of edumacation, or talents...

Hell one of my sisters pisses me off cause she thinks she is the "more successful one" in the family although to her credit she no longer has that air about her, sure learn stuff, be proud, but does it make you better than a guy begging for spare change?

 

people are funny.

[L.S.D]

But higher education still open more doors.

Fact.

[veristic]

"Education" and learning don't necessarily coincide. Yes it does open more doors, it does give you leverage in the professional field to make demands and have expectations of your employers, but success isn't guaranteed with graduation.

 

The myth is that a person believes they goto a 4-year college, earn a B.A. and land that "dream job" where their future is set towards a bright and sunny horizon well... if that doesn't pan out exactly what does one do? They go BACK to school for 2-3 more years and get a Masters degree, again to try and fulfill the belief that the "prestige" will gain them some self-absorbed idealization that they deserve better. What happens? Things don't pan out the way they intended and they go back to school again, this time for PhD and what happens after that? While still looking for that perfect job, they end up becoming professors to make their way.

 

All the while, amassing a good deal of debt, potentially getting married, then having kids, buying a house, expenses and materialism compounds because you must have that certain car, and that certain furniture, and then you work to live and sustain your nuclear family. Making sure your credit doesn't get bad, but relying on it to survive.

 

Education enables people to become high-payed slaves of prestige. The idea that college earns them the prestige to become a high-paid employee with a certain title for his/her name, working towards that "american dream" of a family, shadowed by debt and credit cards.

 

I guess its not that bad... capitalism. We could all be socialists otherwise, but is that a terrible thing too?

 

Never stop learning ya'll.

Socialism and Communism sucks. I am living in China right now for crying out loud. It does not directly effect me because I am a foreigner and get special advantages/have a nice living arrangement.

 

It's sad too because the Chinese are so brainwashed and naive it seems so far, it's like they're happy about living under a dictatorship.

 

It's not all bad though, life here is awesome for me personally. Even for native Chinese in some places it's REALLY nice/awesome.

 

I've only been here for a month and love it so far. I don't have much beyond a high school diploma and I am on the other side of the world teaching and living a good life with no debt. I also have plans to travel to other countries doing the same thing. Only work for hours a day (at the most), traveling, making money, training martial arts, ahhhhhh... It's nice living the dream.
