Those legs are 140iq

the only place uni matters is a) if it concretely gets you a job or life that you want, and b) if you're an upper middle class american nouveau riche who still talks about how he want to fucking harvard for 4 years when he's 40 like it means anything or has any more uniqueness than "i lived in cambridge MA for a while at an age when i was barely sentient"

college-reminiscers and lifelong ALUMNI are on par with people who still vividly reminisce about high school drama when they're 30, like what the fuck are you doing?

even people with fancy phds from ritzy universities are more often than not quiet about them, because guess what, a fancy phd from a ritzy university doesn't even guarantee you a job anymore. i know people with ivy league phds in their 30s who work at shitty startups or similar silicon valley benefitless "gig economy" garbage, how often do you think they brag about having a phd? never, because it doesn't look cool to be a phd when you're just some random 30something out in the world, it looks embarrassing because the immediate followup question is "why did the womb of academia spit you out then, why are you here answering emails about an app that tracks your nofap progress"

so not even a phd is worth bragging about, why would a BA be? and what is it to actually get the BA, it's four years of being a preppy little homo. it's not even like the old days where they still taught real things, now it's so bad, it's like a summer camp more than anything. none of these little rainbow skittle diversity wiener kids are getting some kind of hermione granger harry potter education: zoomer edition, they are zoomers: zoomer edition. it's an extension of their low-% black high school experience, it's one 4-year-long tweet.

university and academia was maybe worth pining after still in the 70s but now it's like an unimaginable farce, yeah it can still open doors and yeah like i said it can concretely improve your chances of concretely landing some actual position, but the mere experience of having gone to some summer camp full of wiener kids with too much FUCKING GEL IN THEIR HAIR means nothing, nor does the piece of paper it provides

I used to party at Harvard with friends who went there. The campus is fun to walk around on when it's deserted over Christmas break.

yikes, read Humboldt.
University ought to be an institution to enable you to grow yourself as a person. It shouldn't be related to "job" in any way, that's a capitalist subversion of it.

>>14643724
Damn, I remember when I used to think like this. Super cringe.
Fact is, if you don't have a degree, your life is going to be shitty. I know you're walking on that get rich quick scheme, and you list your occupation on Facebook as "entrepreneur" but everyone knows all of this is just masking the fact you're a fucking loser. If you're still in your 20s, it's not too late to go back to school. But if you're older, then you fucked up big time and you're probably going to die in an alley with a syringe in one hand your cock in another.

I went to a good uni but i got a bullshit humanities degree like an idiot so it was a waste of money. What you study and who you know are vastly more important.

the hell is a uni?!?!

>professional paperwork filers forced to work 80 hours a week to meet billables

>>14644023
Humanities degrees are fine. Spending 4 years sitting in your apartment and partying instead of joining clubs and networking is the part where people truly fuck up.

I fucking died

>>14643673
But OP... i go to a decent university despite the low income of my family because i don't live in 'Murica...

you should have come to MIT, we go harder (although the people are less attractive)

>>14644081
Partied at MIT too. Can confirm they have the best parties. Which was a shock to me when I first found out about that.
Can also definitely confirm about the less attractive part.

I saved up $40,000. I think I will be able to afford community college soon.

not an argument

at least your credentials sound impressive to those entirely ignorant of the professional practice itself

>>14643724
I was thinking of doing a phd mainly because I don't know what to do and I don't think I'm qualified enough to start working. Thing is I feel like that kind of locks you into academia (which I personally want to avoid from my experience with it) unless you choose something marketable- which for me at least I don't want to because I don't want to spend 3 years (and then the rest of my life) doing something shit

>went to uni for ba
>finish
>uhh what now
>do honors
>currently thinking of doing a phd just because i don't know what else to do even though at an information session i want to the person specifically said not to do one if you don't know what you want to do

>>14644321
i mean a PHD is like 60hrs/week for 4+ years (results may vary for non-US programs)
if you're not driven to study x subject then you're going to burnout

>went to one of the best unis of the americas

>Brie's mother is Jewish.
> she occasionally attended a "Christian–Hindu hybrid church" called the Self-Realization Fellowship with her father. However, her mother "would always make sure we knew we were Jewish"

>>14644961
fuck. i'd still breed her though fuck it

this chick i work with wears her ivy league class ring every day
she’s like 27

>>14644986
she probably thinks it makes up for the lack of ring on her other hand

Your worth is actually defined by how much money you have.
Ofc you are more likely to become a millionaire if you graduate from a prestigious university however this is due to networking and something tells that isn't even the case anymore due to the internet.

>>14644986
now that' a woman who needs a good dicking; she needs to get bred
