How the school system is now a days.... Do you think it even fosters intellectualism? I don't think so.
Yea thats true. I myself need to start reading more books. Just expansing my knowledge. I can say I lost some intellect by not reading.
Now it comes down to individual. Most people are best are able master the art of what I call copy and pasting. In other words individuals are able to get by in school through memorizing dates and facts, but very few people are probably thinking in full depth, about the correlation with modern society. Thus, general education classes get a bad rep.....
There's too many books out there waiting to be read breh
Take baby steps breh
crawl ( watch documentaries)>>>>>>> walk(read newspaper articles ) >>>>>>> run ( go to the library / bookstore )
Ebooks, don't do it for me, being on the computer is enough distraction for me.....

I already watch docs and read newspapers.
And you're the mod around here... wow.
Yes, I am.
But the point that principality didn't understand in his ignorance and self-righteousness is that college is what you make of it. I repeat, "College is only a bad thing if you view it purely as a means to get a job." As in, one specific job. Most people do not spend their entire lives in one career. So if you're saying don't go to college like him and be a McDonald's manager, that's all you'll ever be. You have acquired any of the critical reasoning skills and knowledge that comes with a college degree if people actually dare to challenge themselves (which they don't). You don't tap into the network of professors who will write you recommendations or the alumni network, etc. You don't get the internship opportunities that cater to college students that help to build up your resume, and quit this bullshyt about "I could go meet people on my own dime." No the fukk you would not. You were broke before college and no bank is going to fund your world expedition which sounds even more stupid because you wouldn't exactly be studying towards anything while doing that would you?
I said the costs of college are high and if you graduate any regular 'ol college with 30k in debt then you did something wrong. Gundza comes in and says "you know state colleges cost more than 30k right?" So you're taking out 100% loans to go to college now? That's the type of foolishness I was talking about. People don't plan properly and then start crying. You think I would've been cool graduating with that college debt if I was graduating from Coli State? Hell no. Go look at US News and Report's most selective college list, if you're not on that list and you have 30k in debt, you fukked up. It's that simple
And the average college student fukked up because college is too expensive, they major in bullshyt, don't intern to build up their resume or jobs skills and then start looking around crying for their job. That and of course some jobs just aren't hiring.
Yes, I am.

@ coli state.....There's no real reason for African American males to be severly in debt while in college, during this period of time. There's sohh many scholarships and grants out there for brehs.
Especially for cats majoring in physics or engineering. Kill yoself, if you're African American Male majoring in physics or engineering, who's deeply in debt. I could point out thousands of scholarships, that pay for the for the full tuition(up to 17,000 a year, after fasfa), offer spending cash(buy a car & stunt on hoes), and paid internship(experience duh).
Not to mention, there's tons of scholarships for non-stem majors that average about 3-5k
All you have to do is maintain a 2.5-3.0
Anyone majoring in engineering or physics that wants info to some scholarships hit me up.....

Pretty much this. But I guess it's the new wave to diss college.

It says people that went to college not finished it. It could be someone who went to community college for a year just to get financial aid money.
Lots of bitter dropouts in this thread

Ummmmm...
Suppose you're well off. Your family has money already. You're interested in learning more about art history anywhere from IVY League to University of Phoenix.
bu bu bu bu but........
some people do go to school just for knowledge.....
Another person that isn't understanding the point. Read my last post in this thread and understand what I was getting at. Means to get a job as a means to get ONE specific job. The point of college is to make you well rounded and employable. People major in BS and pay for schools with little prestige and then get upset when there isn't a job for the 500th basket weaver who chilled during summers and worked as a waitress full time.
My friend graduated with a Sociology Degree and a double major in Spanish. She interned every summer and she works for a Fortune 500 company right now. We also went to an elite undergrad. She's also a great interviewer.
The point is, if you're going to major in something that there's a plethora of, you better major in something else that is marketable to go with it and build up your resume as well. She's already onto her second job and so are some of my other friends who went to a more local school but kept the costs low and interned and flipped it. All my boys who majored smart and/or interned frequently, have jobs. More importantly, because of their college degree they have career flexibility. If you don't go to college then you put yourself in a position where if you do get a job, you're stuck with that because that's the only skillset you have and when that industry goes down then there goes your job.
That's what steelworkers lost when that industry declined in the US, etc. so like I said before, "Only if you view college as a means to get a job." As in A specific job. My engineering friends are consultants and shyt right now. I have English major friends who are marketing.
You have clearly decided you don't need that knowledge either. This is sort of the problem here, people. This dude is completely unfamiliar with Plato and is telling everyone that, essentially, Plato isn't important. Perhaps if we all took the time to read Plato (and even Thomas More's Utopia) we would stop electing politicians that implement educational systems that put people 10s of thousands of dollars in debt.
I find so many underachievers who are good at getting B's & C's no matter the class. I don't care if its Molecular and Cell Biology of the Spinal Cord, they'll still get a B or C.
But they work twice as hard as I do because the information eventually becomes intuitive to me & I don't struggle to see the big picture. Its this myopic view they have towards life and education which makes them work the same crappy job at Walmart after graduating.
They never develop any real talent.
