Is College A Waste Of Time And Money?

03-26-2014 • http://chrisinmaryville.net/

Are you thinking of going to college? If so, please consider that decision very carefully. You probably have lots of people telling you that an “education” is the key to your future and that you will never be able to get a “good job” unless you go to college. And it is true that those that go to college do earn more on average than those that do not. However, there is also a downside. At most U.S. colleges, the quality of the education that you will receive is a joke, the goal of most colleges is to extract as much money from you and your parents as they possibly can, and there is a very good chance that there will not be a “good job” waiting for you once you graduate. And unless you have someone that is willing to pay your tuition bills, you will probably be facing a lifetime of crippling student loan debt payments once you get out into the real world. So is college a waste of time and money? In the end, it really pays to listen to both sides of the debate.

A college degree is no guarantee of a job.

If you want a REAL education, you'll have to obtain it yourself. Learn the TRIVIUM and the QUADRIVIUM, first. Yes, a REAL education requires EFFORT on your part, not just sitting in a class-room, and taking multiple choice tests, and merely regurgitating the "correct" responses handed to you by the professor, in the first place.

If you want a Harvard-level education, you can go on Amazon.com, and for $450.00 you can buy the 51-volume “FIVE FOOT SHELF OF BOOKS” used at Harvard. Cut out the middle man, here: http://www.amazon.com/Harvard-Classics-Complete-Volumes-First/dp/B0013RC8I6/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395936974&sr=1-4&keywords=5-foot+shelf+of+books

Keep in mind, that just because you have read the “FIVE FOOT SHELF OF BOOKS” used at Harvard, and have the equivalent of a Harvard-level education, doesn’t mean you’ll also have the Ivy League CONNECTIONS, that will insure your future prosperity.
