Bottom line: college is not for everyone. I have known many guys with doctorates that could not find any work. Many friends also opted out of college to go to another and just bailed on that too. Their should be no stigma associated with not obtaining a college degree, we are creating a new caste system.
I totally agree. I bought my doctorate degree online for $50.00 and I certainly don't look down on anybody who doesn't have that much to spend on education.
“I have known many guys with doctorates that could not find any work.”
That is true is you assume the purpose of education is to get a job. I do not agree with that. I have advance degrees and work as a horseshoer and care for livestock. I am very glad I earned my degrees. It has broadened my mind, made me more well rounded, and given me a greater appreciation of everything. Without my educational experiences my life would be much more dull and empty.
You are correct; it is not for everyone and I would add that it is extremely disappointing if you believe that piece of paper will bring you fame and fortune.
I met someone last week who told me her son has a PhD, I think she said physics. He works at a nursing home. He’s decided to try med school.
