It makes you believe you Have to have a college education to make it but they don't tell you how 100,000's of people will have the same degree you got and be applying for the same jobs you will.
Wtf does analytical statistic class have to do wit the real world? Fucc college
Lol no you don't. I graduated and I took only 2 classes involving math and that was only because 1 was required for my major. Other than that, I never took math outside of my only science class that I took was an astronomy course I took as an elective simply because i actually like astronomy and study it in my own free time anyway. Depending on your major you can very easily not take certain courses -
what makes this right here even funnier....is that u made this thread to basically ? on people who dont have a degree and let them know they're stupid for not having one/think they can survive without one....while insinuating u'll be forever better off then them cuz u have one.....yet u say something that dumb that most people would expect from someone without a degree...

Trades will never disappear. We are always going to need HVAC technicians to fix and install our a/c units, electrician/electronics to design and install electrical and electronics circuits and druck drivers to ship/receive manufactured products, food, and gas. People need to open their minds up a little bit and look at the variety of industries they get into. Depending on the field you study, you don't a college degree. However, you should always look forward to enhance your skills, increase your working experience and knowledge with an advanced education whether is through a trade or degree program.

They say they suggest not going to college and to be an entrepreneur, because well, most of the ? we have today are from those kind of people.
Who's they? You could be the next Mark Zuckerberg....but probably not. You COULD be the next Michael Dell....but probably not. ? need to stop being stupid and take they ? to college.
There's some ? that's gonna bubble up to the surface about free trade agreements. In the 80's and 90's we opened up everything to globalization assuming we would have the workforce to transition from skills based to service based jobs, but we don't. People still have this idea that you can just get a diploma, get a job as an electrician, and call it a day. But those jobs are gonna see a reduction of about 25% in the next decade where as America will be short about 90K doctors in the next decade.
Smarten up gentlemen.
LOL
I'm just saying that's what was said, they were talking about it on CNN a couple months back. I'm not saying to do that. -
You don't need college... Only connections

I'm glad my dad was the jack of all trades and past his knowledge onto me. Anyway, what i notice with this new generation, they don't like to get their hands ? . Most of them aren't built to be a carpenter, electrician, mechanic, or whatever. A lot of them want a desk job
Not only do they not want to get their hands ? , a lot of them look down on those types of jobs as lowly, blue-collar, positions.
But those people are just as necessary to society, if not more as the guy sitting behind a desk. To me a job is a job, whether it's working on cars or designing operating systems. The whole purpose is to provide a means for yourself and your family. -

I'm thinking about going back very soon,but I was on Google yesterday looking at reviews of the school i plan on
attending and all but 1 of the reviews was bad. One of the reviews the dude said he used to work admissions for
the school and he said they just want your money and the instructors don't give a ? about you. In another review
the guy said that he was in the Army and he had been to 5 different schools all over the world and this one was the
worst. In the one positive review the guy said that you shouldn't listen to all the other negative reviews and that it's
a good school if you stay focused and don't ? and that the career field he chose(the same one I'm going into)
the school has a 91% job placement rate. So I'm kinda on the fence, possible 80/90k debt or 91% percent chance of
a good job. -
Overtime ??? wtf,my Vikings always find a way to give away a game
-
91% job placement is very good (also depends on what kinda jobs we talking though)
career placement would be better -
I received an Honors degree in English Literature and wrote my LSATs to go to Law School where I was accepted into several schools in Canada and the United States.
However, around the same time, I was approached by the government to work at a lucrative job. I was kind of burnt out from university and the pay was ridiculous compared to what my friends were making at the time so I took the job and cashed out.
Fast forward to 2012 and I'm starting to feel bored and burnt out in my position. Thinking of going back to school to get my MBA... become an independent contractor... and work for myself for even more $$$$ -

While people do devalue manual labor jobs, people do need to get this idea out their heads that "Just because so and so didn't go to college and become a millionaire, so can I"...if you want to be able to move up the ladder and do certain things, make a certain salary you're going to need to go to college or some form of school past high school in order to even get your foot in the door. If you want to do a trade, that's fine nothing wrong with that at all. Just understand there's only a certain amount of upward mobility in those jobs. -
Go to the military b a model on the side marry a well to do woman drop a album with banging beats dabble in porn retire no kidss

Mexicans gonna eventually take all the trade jobs

I feel sorry for ? that think having a degree>>>>>>>>>>>entrepreneur.
Workin for yourself is better than workin for anyone else.
Workin for someone outside of a union in a employ at will state is ? risky.
Goin to a trade school and being certified in Electrician, HVAC, Plumbing, Carpentry
guarantees you will either be employed or can go into business for yourself.
Buildings are going to stay being constructed people are going to always need repairs
in their homes.
Unless you are going to university for the sciences you are foolin and bitin hard on the hustle.
t/s whole thread premise is just fool of smart dumb ? logic. -
In his acclaimed 2006 book, The Global Class War, economist Jeff Faux predicted a major financial catastrophe in the next few years. Sometimes, one would rather be wrong.
In The Servant Economy, Faux surveys the wreckage and asks: Where do we go from here? The economy may recover from the financial crash, but the historic and geographic cushions that have kept Americans prosperous are deflated. The United States can no longer support the dreams of Wall Street for boundless speculative wealth, the military-industrial complex for global hegemony, and the middle class for rising living standards. One of these dreams? Certainly. Two? Perhaps. But not all three.
Republicans and Democrats brawl in public, but, in effect, they have already cut a deal: the middle-class dream will be sacrificed. Even with a cyclical economic recovery, the average American will face substantially lower income, less opportunity, and hardening class lines by the mid-2020s. As high-paying service jobs follow industrial jobs offshore and government safety nets are systematically dismantled, more and more Americans will scratch for a living as educated twenty-first-century servants—insecure and stripped of dignity.
Yet both the electorate and the elected are in denial. Americans tell pollsters the country may be in decline, but that they personally will be okay. Politicians perpetuate the myth that Americans' exceptional can-do spirit will save them from the consequences of their leaders' folly. But hope is not a strategy. "Jobs, jobs, jobs," the governing class shouts against the forces of globalization, when it really means: "Lower wages, lower wages, lower wages."
The Servant Economy takes the reader on a historical tour of the rise and fall of the idea that democratic government has a responsibility for shaping the future, shows how Barack Obama is trapped in Ronald Reagan's legacy, and delivers a savage indictment of Wall Street financiers and their Washington toadies who promote an age of austerity for the people and an age of gluttony for themselves. The book paints a brutally honest picture of what austerity will mean for twentysomethings laden with college debt who will become thirty- and fortysomethings still stuck in low-paying jobs, for the elderly who will have to work until they die, for communities where services and safety will deteriorate. It warns of a future in which military power becomes the only instrument for exerting U.S. influence in the world.
The core problem, writes Faux, is not that we don't know what to do, it is that the corruption of our politics by big money smothers any attempt at transformational change. Thus, there is no escape from the grim scenario he describes—unless an aroused citizenry abolishes the system that equates money with free speech and corporations with citizens. Washington insiders scoff that such an effort is "hopeless." Even more hopeless, Faux concludes, is the notion that we can shape a better economic future—unless we do so.
Here's the inside sleeve of a book I read recently. -
A picture of me speaking at yesterday’s TEDxReset in Istanbul.
Yesterday I was honored to be one of the featured speakers at the TEDxReset Conference in Istanbul, Turkey where I predicted that over 2 billion jobs will disappear by 2030. Since my 18-minute talk was about the rapidly shifting nature of colleges and higher education, I didn’t have time to explain how and why so many jobs would be going away. Because of all of the questions I received afterwards, I will do that here.
If you haven’t been to a TEDx event, it is hard to confer the life-changing nature of something like this. Ali Ustundag and his team pulled off a wonderful event.
The day was filled with an energizing mix of musicians, inspiration, and big thinkers. During the breaks, audience members were eager to hear more and peppered the speakers with countless questions. They were also extremely eager to hear more about the future.
When I brought up the idea of 2 billion jobs disappearing (roughly 50% of all the jobs on the planet) it wasn’t intended as a doom and gloom outlook. Rather, it was intended as a wakeup call, letting the world know how quickly things are about to change, and letting academia know that much of the battle ahead will be taking place at their doorstep.
Here is a brief overview of five industries – where the jobs will be going away and the jobs that will likely replace at least some of them – over the coming decades.
