You aren't as smart as Elon but he is right. Its more about motivation to learn. I mean most of my college classes I learned half the material from youtube vids online anyways lmfao

Its just a stamp that says "I can be a good little bitch for you" when you get a degree. That's why you can get other jobs outside your degree with a degree.

[Anonymous No.25031148]

mostly a meme, especially if you have to pay for it. even going for free is like a meme. it's like restricted learning at 10% pace because everything is moduled and there is very little incentive to explore outside curriculum as it takes time away from muh chasing grades

i go to college and i study comp sci. this is what i think.

if you wanna just work and be a developer or a worker in your field it's really really unnecessary, in a lot of well paid and respected professions you can get to pretty much the very top without college. if you start working in your field at 18, by the time your peers graduate, you will have 5 years of work experience and you are more valuable for most work. most of my colleagues who will graduate with me will also work as developers. but, for the very best jobs, where there is scientific research done and very 'serious' work is being done on advancing technology and everyone you meet is an expert, those people all went to college, exceptions are unicorns.

tho college is free in my country so i would go anyways lol

If you have a half decent portfolio of relevant work, they would be more willing to give you a chance. But nobody is looking for an uneducated "ideas man" without any skills or abilities

This is true as well, but I would say Uni gives you the best environment to learn and find like minded people, especially if you are a scholarship chad and dont have to wagecuck on the side like some retard.

College is for networking and internships. If you come out of school without a strong network and an internship that lead to a full time offer then you wasted your time. "Skills" and "knowledge" don't mean shit in the real world.

You can basically learn anything on the internet nowadays. I'd be hard pressed to believe an accounting firm would hire you out the gate simply because you learned on line how to do advanced accounting work with modern software, even if you could prove and show them. However if you learned accounting, reached out to a dozen small businesses in your local area and helped them all manage their finances and accounting, you would have an established portfolio that a firm would hire. Essentially side stepping the entire $100,000 college cost.

Not a typo. If you have some competitive instinct and study something worthwhile (STEM) there arent much girls to chase, just grades

He's absolutely right. But proving you can do your chores is a far more important qualification for doing most jobs today than any amount of learning. If you go to college thinking you're going to learn lots of shit, you'll be disappointed. But that's not the reason to go.
So if you think you can be a business owner, don't bother with college. But if you want to wage for a living (even as a stop-gap), you need that piece of paper.
Just remember that not everyone can be a successful business owner, so you'd better be pretty certain that you have it in you before you go that route.

None of the arguments listed imply that they aren't self made. They were moderately wealthy, not even comparable to the point those people are now. Seems like ultra poorfag mentality along with a dash of cope

As usual, it depends. If you have a clear vision of what you want in life, and a specific degree is necessary to attain it, then college is absolutely worth it. If you want to be in a middle class profession such as law, medicine, or engineering you don't really have a choice.
However, most people aren't cut out for academics, and would probably be much happier working vocational trades.
The biggest scam modern society has pulled is convincing everyone that college is the only way to success.

Depends on what you want to do.

You don't measure how hard it is to acquire money based on how far 1 dollar is from 1 million vs 1 million to 1 billion.

Any sucker can get 1 or 2 million by simply waging for a long time, try that with 1 billion. 1 billion needs a lot of creativity beyond going to work.

Things said when you have millions in backing or loans available
>I can take this $2 million machine and make $50 million in 5 years
Things never said with a regular job
