Is College Worth the Investment?
#33
Let's be straight.
One way to look at it is university studies for the sake of learning, much as I do.
You then don't care about the however grim to nonexistent financial prospects.
There is no point in say learning Chinese or Arabic or whatever in college when you too well know nowadays neighborhoods are packed with native language foreigners who can do the job right now.
Yes, some may speak a less than academic English, but it doesn't really matter when the only purpose is to get on the phone and order stuff from China, right?
It turns out most jobs don't require 40 college courses worth of unrelated dross.
And you can definitely tell the Indian guy from Bombay who staffs that multinational call-center isn't Orson Welles...who cares...there are people of color down the block at home whose English is even worse...but you wanted a return code for your merchandise and he gave you one, right?
The problem is with people getting high on potential earning estimates...that's like that nice ad telling you Rosco earns 10.000$ a day trading online and so can you...PFFT!
Then you also must compete with the guy whose old man owns the company, who's got the right party card or the right friends...he's a total moron who's got an A.A, but you'll find out he gets the job...then you have the pretty woman in skimpy dresses...g-d knows why they might prefer to hire her although her head is as empty as your wallet, eh?
