LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE:
College
is a scam!
There, I said it. College has nothing to do with gaining knowledge.
Like public schooling, the goal of most post-secondary education
establishments is to teach people how to be submissive, how to follow
orders and how to regurgitate facts; not to mention anchoring oneself
down with copious amounts of student loan debt [$28,720
USD
(United
States
Dollars)
on
average].
Americans owe more than one
trillion
USD
in student loans [that’s
a 1 followed by 12 zeros, or $1,000,000,000,000]!
I’ll show you how to get the same
education for free!
[ ^ 10,000 pallets stacked high with $100 bills. Each pallet holds $100 million. That's what one trillion dollars looks like. ]
College
degrees aren’t all that
they’re
cracked up to be. Besides being overpriced, they do
not
guarantee you a
job,
let alone a career
in your desired field.
365,000
college graduates were working as cashiers
in 2008. In 2010, over 317,000
college graduates were waiting
tables.
You spend 4+ years busting your ass to keep your grade
point
average
up
and earn a [piece
of paper]
degree,
and for what? Minimum wage? Instead of falling into the debt cycle,
take advantage of the myriad of free
online educational resources, such
as:
► Alison
► Coursera
► edX
► Free-Ed
► Mathigon
► UDACITY
Stay
conscious my friends.
