Dz Ali OG...Pay me like you owe me!
1) first of all, many black people get their degrees from HBCU's, no "CAC's" involved at all..you clearly feel some type of way about black people with college degrees
2) a majority of people with college degrees seeking employment do so because they're looking for work right after college, many college graduates get their jobs through temp agencies too
the point is that they have options, they aren't stuck in one place forever.
3) student loans are a part of life for every college student, this doesn't mean anything negative - every doctor or dentist you ever went to had student loans, what, they're dumbasses now?
I doubt you even work in the field you claim you do, you may work in a building where people do what you're talking about - but I'm not buying it.
you work for an employment agency but you hate people with college degrees...that don't add up.
Who said anything about hating them? Lol, I don't feel one way or the other. If I wanted one, mine would be free as I'm a Veteran.
And no, the majority did not attend hbcus.
The hell student loans don't mean anything negative! That's debt son, and what advantage do you really have if 300 to 500 per month is due? For X amount of years. One of my coworkers has a Master's from Howard, she makes the same amount as me. Only she has student loans to pay...and to show the length of her debt...a son who she's helping through college. She's in her 50s still paying!
There's a gatekeeper for many blacks even with degrees. Unless you can portray the image of an extra safe negroe those cacs not bringing you on their job.
Please show me job advertisements for entry level graduates. And I mean true entry level, not the ones advertised as entry level, but somehow require 2 years experience.
College grads are hurting out here!
Another reason why I m callingthe real issue is some woman with a Masters married some 3x felon
College sets you up for a career? nikka people with degrees hate their fukking jobs just as much as the people with no degree... People always say "if I knew what I know now, I would have never went to college. college sets you up to work for someone else...

Lawyers don't always marry lawyers, doctors don't always marry doctors.
When you get into some locals it isn't odd at all to see blue collar professionals married to white collar professionals.
I see that with whites as well as blacks in the south.

"bonuses and overtime"
nothing to see here. move along.

A neighbor of mine worked for the city and she was married to a nikka that worked at Bojangles but thats the farthest I've seen.
I don't think pushing not attending college is the smartest thing to do. Of course some folks who don't get a degree will be okay but folks with degrees do tend to earn more over their entire lives. Also, some people in this thread are forgetting that there are great ways to minimize student loan debt or even get a full ride through school

I don't know what worked for the city implies, that could be white or blue collar.A neighbor of mine worked for the city and she was married to a nikka that worked at Bojangles but thats the farthest I've seen.
I know a colonel in the air force, a woman, who was married to the manager of gas station.
I know personally an electrician whose wife is a doctor.
I have a friend who works at Waffle House, KFC, and cuts grass on the side whose wife is a branch manager at regions bank.
So to me this isn't a big deal or a sign that he is lying.

Mr. Roll-Up
What do y'all make of this?
I've noticed a trend of black men in relationships going on social media to say their wives multiple degrees earn less than them
The first post is dumb, and clearly from somebody who doesn't have a degree. She ain't even say what her mom does. What if her mom was a secretary?
The second post says "I bring home more than she does not hourly mostly through bonuses and overtime". So buddy telling you he gotta work longer hours than her to get overtime, and bonuses aren't guaranteed. Is it really something to brag about that you gotta put in 20 hour days to make more money than your educated counterpart that only has to work 8.
Would they be making more money if their counterpart worked the same number of hours as them?
You can do just fine in this world without a degree, but let's not act like it's the norm that people with multiple advanced degrees are making less than people with no degree at all.

I don't think anyone is pushing people not to go to college.
What people are saying is this notion that going to college is the ONLY way to make it or the BEST way to make it is a lie and people need to open their eyes regarding trades and other avenues than just blindly following the mantra that going to college is going to have you set. It isn't and the majority of people won't be able to go to school with out incurring debt, so acting like getting a free ride is just around the corner isn't realistic either.
Pretty much sums it up. No one is saying people with degrees are better than people without them but lets be honest about the average financial situation
