I agree with the general idea but not those hogwash ideas in your post. If you don't have the drive to go to college of course you shouldn't go. But if you are on your way to becoming the next Bill Gates, you should not be forced into trade school. And 4 years of a language goes against your main point. If a kid is just going to do construction, he should not be forced to learn German lol. |
Basically my point is do not shove college down everyone's throat. I know plenty of people with all sorts of worthless degrees. Some got jobs in another successful field and some work at a gas station. In fact, I named the degrees in the OP. Luckily they discovered early that the degree's they earned would do nothing for them. Take the History Major for example. What were her options? Take more classes to become a teacher? Take another 2-4 years to become some glamorous historian at a prestigous college and possibly write a book or get on the History channel later on in life?
What about the Business Majors? Other than that what is their talent? What can they actually do other than screw America over some day when they become a politician?

Lol I agreed with you on college not being for everyone. But you are going beyond that which is where I disagree. What is wrong with a history major needing to take more classes though? If you want to be a historian that's what you have to do. I happen to be double majoring in engineering and BUSINESS so I'll just leave it up to your imagination to figure out my opinions on your second paragraph hahaha.

Agreed. But some people want to just flip burgers and live a lazy life. For them they shouldn't be pressured into waisting money at school. I would love for school to be cheaper too lol.
