I graduated with an information systems degree about a decade ago, and no employer has ever given me any amount of money for that degree. I have never gotten a bonus or higher pay because of it. Now, I’m seeing so many videos on TikTok and reels lately of students who graduated with a computer science degree costing them upwards of 90K, And they are all packed any huge room with like 20 employers who are hiring for like 300 jobs but there’s like thousands of them…
So basically if you want a digital piece of paper that says you’re “educated”, you can pay $40000 > $350,000. But you’ll never get any amount of money for it from employers, it won’t help you find a job. It’s a myth
It isn’t about conquering any kind of ordeal. College was designed to create leaders, not just teach academic subjects. A lot of people complaining here are focusing on the classwork when there are other skills that are supposed to be taught.
We clearly went to different kinds of colleges.
That was the intent of the colleges. Whether colleges continued that initial goal is up in the air.
