college is a pyramid scam scheme

You do NOT need college for a job.

You do not know what a pyramid scheme is...

College is worthwhile. College as private enterprise is utterly fucked.

'merica... 😏

@arazzz for a job as?

@koin For a job. 'As' was not a condition.

Also, Tom Hanks never tweeted this. Or if he did, he didn't believe it enough to leave it up.

Privatized, overpriced education is the problem.

It wasn't a major problem until relatively recently, and there were private schools for a long, long time before that.

In my opinion, the proliferation of debt culture, combined with the cancerous spread of the nonsense notion that you're not a serious adult without a college degree. This has caused education to be priced to match very large loans, instead of the competition-based market on which it used to be based.

Another adverse effect is that since people are being told that they have to go to college, we as a society have fewer skilled laborers than any time in our history. Plumbers, electricians, welders, mechanics, and other skilled laborers can write their own ticket, since there are so few of them left.

@SukMikeHok so basically, you are astonished that ou have to invest in order to make profit?

Yeah.. good that economy 101 was taught in my tech degree, too.

It's not the same amount of money being spent on college and earned from a job. The latter is higher. That's why people take loans.

that's not even close to what a pyramid scheme is. a scheme for sure, but not a pyramid scheme.

The truth has been spoken

Collage education is free. So why should it be a scam.

Hello,

I didn't see any scams at college.

The main cheaters are students and nothing more.

@HarryPrice

Credit card companies giving away swag with new cards. That's a scam.

Well, for me it's not a scam for sure. I see the results of my education, so I'm positive about it

For me, it's not a scam. Of course, it costs a lot, and not every educational institution provides quality education, but anyway, I think it's not a scam. I'm a student, too, and I dedicate a lot of effort to get the most from my studies. It's not always easy, especially when it comes to writing tasks. But now there are so many useful resource sites, like this one https://gradesfixer.com/essay-types..., which helped me out last week when I was stuck with my paper. That example helped me to get the best mark in my group. I could say that I couldn't do such a task because I had a bad professor, but I decided to dedicate more effort.
