[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3626181, member: 45524"] it's a culture thing. also look at who is "most likely" to attend college now. it's not white guys. now think about jobs that require degrees *to even apply*. i hope it works out for employers. i really do. young guys that i know are saying "screw this" to the system that's been built. i unironically want to see corporate "america" destroyed. they lie, they cheat, they steal. if corporations are "people" they would be in jail. or not, since they are powerful enough to control entire nation states, but they should be. the fact everyone just assumes they have to spend their entire waking lives working for one is the biggest lie peddled to this nation. instead of teaching our children to simply start their businesses and the beauty of the free enterprise system we (somewhat) allow, we taught them that literally they would be working fast food if they didn't go to college. and they didn't scare the smart kids; they knew they were smart. but it scared the *crap* out of dumb kids who let's be honest knew that comment was meant for them. and i'm telling you: i sat in senior high school classes with kids *who could not read at an adult level* and i know for a fact they at least attended two years at OU. lots of them. i can only imagine how bad it is now, where it's openly "say the right thing? you're in!". immigrant kids are taught to start businesses and work for themselves. they are successful. they are taught the American Dream we were told to chain ourselves to endless debt to acquire. i dunno, i keep my work separate about as much as i can from my "political" or online presence (i work in the arts; i hide my power level and most people have no idea i own guns or hold any of the views that i do. i'm 100% sure i would lose considerable work if even one of my higher profile clients found out). even as a self employed guy. i couldn't *imagine* working a corporate culture and having to sit thru white guilt training. and you get a lot of that with those invented degrees for people who would otherwise be better suited for other work. i retucked brick for a few summers. got good enough to work on historic houses doing "restorations". made $100 an hour. did anyone tell me that i would make that much money making mortar into the right color and texture, something that someone who couldn't read could actually manage? no, they told me i'd be working at Mickey D's if i didn't pay the people who employed them lots of money. funny how that works.
