Yeah he did, you went to college and got a degree right? You are working full time in your field of choice making at least 51K right now correct?
So you don't know any college educated stupid people? You only need to look in the mirror to find one.
learned enough to know i wasn't learning, dropped out to work making decent money. kinda wish i had stayed now that the bottom fell out of the market.
A BS in what? I have a BS also, but mine is in Business, what is yours in ? Basket Weaving? Dramatic Arts?
No, my point, in case you couldn't tell, was that just because you have a college degree does not mean you are intelligent or deserving of higher pay. You don't have a degree, yet I would say you were many fold smarter than Dan, who does have a degree. You see what im getting at? Dan says that unequivocally if you go to college you will be employed automatically at a higher rate of pay than one who doesn't, which just isn't true at all, in fact its a bald faced lie. The person who gets paid the most is the one who does the best job, they don't really give a shit if you have some boring 4 year degree.
Actually I did just fine working in the field of my choice. I just decided the corporate world isn't for me and started growing bud instead. Is that a problem? I do not regret college at all even though I'm no longer working in the field of my degree. What I learned will be with me forever and no one can take that away from me.
i haven't read this whole thing, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that ON AVERAGE (not automatically) those with degrees out earn those who do not have degrees. and i am sure that is what he was getting at, and that if he said "automatically" then you are just twisting his meaning to try to make him look stupid. which doesn't reflect very well on you.
go check the classifieds. they do give a shit if you have some boring degree, and you can forget about even applying if you don't have it.
i'm super-motivated to work in a research lab studying nanotechnology, but all that motivation doesn't mean dick to them for some reason. fuck them.
You should tell them to open their eyes and that college is just a scam purported by the lame stream media. I'm sure if you do that they'll give you a job.
i'll bring my laptop to the interview and play a few clips of ron paul and alex jones to really drive the point home.
yep - well if you work in a research lab studying nanotechnology your essentially government contracted business, ya your gonna need a degree, as a I said, there is a lot of jobs thats do require a degree, but how much money you make and your degree do not ALWAYS correlate directly assuming your an intelligent motivated passionate individual in your craft and your not working for a big corporation or government contracted job. Private sector jobs make the most money and generally you do not need a degree, you just need to know what your doing and be good at it, or get some lucky breaks. (don't count on the later without high charisma and/or good work ethic).
How would you know how to do your job or do the best job without a degree..hell would you let a Teacher teach your child without going to college...would you let a Doctor operate on you without a degree..???.would you let an Accountant count your money without going to school.??? hell I wouldn't let you manage a store without one..but I would let you work the counter, but that only pays 9.25 an hr.
Unless your in a union.
