College is a scam Options

[Whinoa]

While I was in college still trying to figure what I was supposed to do there, I heard a speaker who said college was the biggest scam on earth.

You see as a young kid you don’t realize how much college costs. For some, your parents will pay for it, for others you’ll take out a loan. “Yaay, the government is going to pay for me.”

You have a great time. Parties, drinking, occasional class, more parties, then you finally graduate (Yippee!) You spend more time partying and drinking with friends after graduation. You’re living it up, life can’t get any better right?

Then comes the first letter, BAM! It hits you right in the face:

“Dear Johnny Boy, you owe a gazillion dollars in debt, we’d like it very soon or we’ll come after you because the country is in debt”

At this point, you’ve already run to your mommy and daddy, crying and asking for help. They can’t help you because you’ve yelled and screamed at them and moved out of the house. You wanted to be a “man”.

But also because they have no money to give you. You see while you were busy going out and living your life, they lost their jobs and now are wondering how to get it back.

So you find a crappy job and you start working 90+ hours a week to pay off the debt. You’re always tired and still broke. You’re friends stop calling you, since you can’t go out anymore. You’re girlfriend dumps you, since you can’t go out anymore. Oh what to do?

Do you ever wonder if college is a scam considering many educated people can’t get jobs or are over qualified for a position? How are you getting your college or future college education paid for?

I agree with my i dont think college is a scam at all. If people are not getting jobs right now it could be due to one of the following
1. Maybe they went to a college that businesses dont prefer
2. The economy is pretty crappy right now so most bosses might want less workers in order to pay them less.

I also kind find the article kinda childish. To me it sounds like a college student was a complete party animal and didnt concentrate on his studies that well there fore failed and cant find a job.
