What's a Bachelor of Arts Degree you wish you could've taken? I'm tempted to go back to school at 28 so that I can study Philosophy after 10 years of working to earn money to go back to school.
What's a Bachelor of Arts Degree you wish you could've taken?
Man you brainlets are something else. Spent ten years wageslaving so you could take on another student loan for a useless degree when you have no talent. You are so stupid it hurts.
Being a full-time learner is a blessed existence
It is, but being a full-time student at a US university is not.
You know you can get a degree for the enjoyment of learning and personal enrichment, right? Not everything needs to have some monetary/professional end, you vapid goon.
You can do that without getting worked by a college into giving them your hard earned money or wasting your time on useless lectures , being a research slave and teaching dumb undergrads and being an active part of the academia grift. Go and cry about much late stage capitalism when you are on the dole.
No, you actually can't because no degree will give you that. If you're American, college is a business that farms young adults for student loan dollars. That's it. The only things they care about are enrollments and degrees awarded. They do not care at all about the quality of your education and in fact, will frick with it as much as possible to get you to pay more for less.
Covid should have been seen as a complete slap in the face to all the morons that still paid top dollar, god forbid you were too dumb to get a scholarship and chose to go to school out of state, and they just took it like the dumb cucks they are. You just wasted your parents money to get worse instruction than watching ivy or gaybridge lectures online lol without the benefit of fricking naive coeds by the dozens.
Where do I go to watch lectures online?
Considering that school in my country means a sizeable chunk of debt, none. No degree is worth being a debt slave, which you will be indefinitely if you get a degree that can’t pay itself off relatively quickly.
not sure what country you're in but in UK the average person is unlikely to even be over the salary requirement to even pay back any of their student debt. its barely even debt unless it grows with interest and HAS to be repaid imo, but im brainlet so idk
No such thing in the US. If you go to college in my state, you'll most likely come out with $30k to $60k in student loan debt which you are on the hook for no matter what. If they're private loans, you're fricked. You'll be making mandatory payments for a decade at least and not paying is not an option. Sometimes you can't even get forbearance or deferment. Lost your job? Too bad.
yeah using private loans for education here is unheard of and sounds moronic, especially since the govt will just give it to you no matter what.
I kinda feel bad for Americans a bit honestly; education in every other developed country seems miles(km) ahead in financial feasibility for students, being usually free or just a mild and non-crippling debt
Well modern America is a slave colony so no surprise there. If we didn’t have student loans we wouldn’t have a way to keep wagies in their seats. I try to warn all my younger siblings and cousins to avoid student loan debt like the plague but they don’t listen. They all think they’re going to be bankers and engineers and somehow the work will be fulfilling and the debt worth it.
Ya hate to see it. Nothing like watching a moron with no scholarships or an internship by his sophomore year thinking he is going to make it.
I worry about my brother mostly. He is not cut out for the corporate world at all. He was a longtime NEET before he went to back to college and now is pursuing a corporate career. I think he has delusions about what it will be like so he’s taken on a lot of debt. He will hate the lifestyle but be trapped by debt.
I have a BA in computer science
I don't regret it
Me too. I have two grad degrees and I was a deputy CFO for a decent sized organization and now I code and automate a lot of what a financial analyst team does and get paid quite well.
Seriously considering going back for a PhD in philosophy but the problem is that independent study isn't considered "proof" of work. Still, I figure the writing sample is what will make the biggest difference.
I wouldn't go back for an undergrad though. Check out The Great Courses, read books on the topics that interest you, get into the habit of listening to audiobooks during all commutes/chores/cardio, read articles, and you'll get more background in a field than a bachelor's would give you arguably in less time if you're commited.
>mfw wasted my early 20s and free government sponsored university on a CS degree
Life is suffering
>I'm tempted to go back to school at 28 so that I can study Philosophy
lmfao
I wish colleges would drop the GE requirement. I believe it's simply to help fund tenures.
inb4 but it's supposed to expand your interests!
Yeah, take the classes on your own, then.
University in spain is like 2.5kEUR per year for international students. Learn spanish and move to Barca.
Why would I ever do that gay shit when I can live in Barcelona for centavos and get paid good money to be a sponsored sporstsman and impregnate beautiful Spanish thots. Don't have to bother with going to lectures and doing gay shit like reading or writing things that I have no interest in.
College can’t teach you anything. Just read the books yourself. They always go painfully slow and easy so that the midwits don’t get left behind
autists can do 1 of 2 things, IT stuff, and accounting.
i would like to try accounting
I got a cs/math degree at a prestigious school. I sort of regret it because I didn’t realize that I was at the sort of school where you can make bank as a random arts major because you come out of undergrad with lots of rich connected friends in your rolodex. Would’ve stayed in English, in retrospect.
>spending 10 years savings for zoom discussions with people who don't do the reading and online quizzes you can google everything on
