“Just some stupid questions: Why does everyone have to go to college? Why not go to a trade or vocational school that teaches practical things?”
Begin liberal/liberal parent rationale:
Because my child/I am special and too intelligent/special/royalty to spend my life in some meaningless job. That’s for commoners. THOSE people are here for people like me/my child to lead.
End Lib BS.
Seriously, talk to a few libs if you can stomach it. They really have no problem admitting this. They only give birth to ‘indigo kids’ so meaningless jobs, AKA anything less than 6 figures net, is beneath them. Thats the mentality that a lifetime of being told they were ‘special’ leads to.
Personally, I’d be shocked if they didn’t become a bunch of delusional, entitlement cases.
i’ve ranted about this before. another scam is degree requirements in some schools just to teach. i would rather have a non degree graphic designer with 5 years experience teach me adobe illustrator than a BFA or MFA who doesn’t have the experience. in graphics most of the requirements for a BFA or MFA are there because mant graduates who can’t make it as artists have to have a backup which is teaching. so they make up an unnecessary teacher requirement so artists can make money. that is not to say a BFA or MFA is worthless just too many jobs have degree requirements that aren’t really necessary to do the job.
my school tried to get me to go for a BA. i already had one from the ‘70s in a totally unrelated field and really never used but it still shows up on a resume word search as having a degree. i had the time and told them if they would pay for the whole thing i would do it.
