Piece of Paper

It is really all about that piece of paper?  Why is about that piece of paper?  I mean it does not even have any pictures of dead guys on there.  I can't buy sneakers, groceries, or anything of value with this.  Some may say I can buy financial freedom or my way into a job with this degree but to that I say suck it!!

Actually I am pretty sure this college system is a sham for most students who do not decide to pursue degrees in really advanced areas of study.  I mean really you go to school for 4 or 5 years of school to get this degree struggle to find a job that pays $30,000 a year.  Get outta here!!  I can't buy any car with the f*cking roof missing on $30,000 a year because the loans to pay for the stupid a*& degree has to be paid.  Everything is out of whack.  You are paying to get your foot in the door and maybe have a chance to be stupid successful.

Besides engineers, doctors and a few other professions I think a degree is pointless.  Law degrees??  That just tells me that you have done a lot of reading and can argue.  If you dedicate time to reading and understanding the law and studying past cases YOU could be a lawyer too.

Over the summer I had a management position for a hotel in the city and before working there I had NO hotel experience.  So, you are telling me that I really need to finish school to get my hospitality degree so I can go BACK to being a manager.  Sounds pretty stupid, huh?  A cat I know has the degree that I do not have so he could get a job being a waiter at one of the premier luxury hotels in the city.  Sure, he can move up the chain and make all the connects to network but still.  At what point do you start questioning the last 5 years of life and the six figures you spent for this degree.  If I a potential employer and have to choose between the recent grad with no experience for the position and the college dropout with relevant work experience for the job I know who I am going with 98% of the time.

Sure, I probably should be shot for having this way of thinking working at institution of education but it is what it is.  Unfortunately my theory and way of thinking will never be very popular.  See the boss of whatever corporation you might work for had to pay for his/her degree and thinks you should have to do the same.  It does not matter how capable you are of the job.


If I could do this all over again I would rather my parents give me the money they spent for loans on education and gave the money to me so I could do something else productive. Do you know how many guns, ammo, ski mask, rope, and cargo vans I could get with $100k.  Neither do I but you get the idea.  The revolution would have been ON and POPPIN!!!




I SPIT on you worthless Degree club!!!

I am however proud of all my Drexel people that got out and that is making that paper!!!
