Yea, I know plenty of people who have degrees who are clueless about making it in the world. My fiance did not go to college but is plenty ****ing smart. She easily could get a degree but chose to work right away and not rack up debt. The debt gathering was my job! |

Depends on the discipline, but if you choose the right degree with a definite job at the end, your career earning to debt ratio is very good. If you are like many idiots who get psychology or general business degrees and expect a decent paying job, good ****ing luck.

anyways I have hundreds of friends at the U of I that have degrees/are getting degrees. When I went to ISU, same thing. ISU was a joke. I edited my roommates final paper and it was the worse thing I had ever read. That guy has a degree. The economics/communication/gen ed/etc... degrees are laughable. Professors don't care anymore, online classes are a huge joke... employers aren't just going to hire these people out of college when they have zero prior work experience...they are just getting burned by these kids now...because they are too entitled and expect everything to be easy and don't want to work I honestly predict that in 10-20 years people are going to realize that work experience/a good resume/good professional references are a lot better than an economics degree. Hell, an associates and an impeccable working resume landed me a pretty sweet gig. |

Eh, I could be a case in point for watering down the physician profession.
You've seen me post here. However, i disagree entirely, and I think your view is skewed by two things: a. You didn't get a degree, and there is some inherent regret there. That happens to almost everybody in that situation, whether they admit it or not b. You need to start surrounding yourself with better people. A college degree won't make you, but it will give you a lot of opportunities to make yourself. The rest is up to you. |

but the kids that are getting those shitty degrees like you said and think they are just going to get a great job handed to them after they graduate are insane my ex has a communication degree from Illinois and she couldn't even get a 2nd interview when she moved to California and ended up working two shit jobs at a hotel and at Panera another girl racked up $120K in student loans to get a spanish degree at U of I and she didn't want to be a spanish teacher and had no idea what she was going to do with it...she walks dogs in Chicago I worked with a ton of these people over the years and they had the worst work ethic I had ever seen... |

Some professions just require advanced degrees, and if you go that route, better be sure a job is there waiting at the end of the line and it pays well. I am happy where I am at now that I am working but it wasn't easy getting there. |

I don't think it's very healthy for a married woman to have such a deep obsession for me but to each their own I guess.
If you track me down and show up at my door I'm calling the police. |

I went to high school with a guy that is now 52 years old and while I'm not sure of the size of the women, pretty much lives like that. Hell of a good chef, but a much better drinker and womanizer so he just goes from place to place and job to job.
