    learning in college isn’t a requirement for success

    Why don’t you tell that to the HR departments then? Oh I feel bad for your generation - when basic critical thinking doesn’t exist.

      I know plumbers who make $250k/year. They didn’t go to college.

      when basic critical thinking doesn’t exist

      When basic life experience doesn’t exist except for what you hear on facebook.

        I know plumbers who make $250k/year.

        And there are college graduates making 90k/yr in the US. That’s why I said efforts are not being compensated properly. The fact that other trades are earning more does not affect this conclusion, think about it more.

        Imagine basing your judgement on generational stereotypes. Oh no, millennials. Oh no, Gen Z. Oh no, it must be facebook. What other contributional points can you guys provide?

          Again, if you’re a failure in college, maybe college isn’t for you. However, unfortunately, college has become a placeholder for anyone who spent their teens with video games instead of planning their future. Everything you know about life is fucked up to the point where you think that it’s a rule of thumb that going to college must mean making more money. No, boy. Again, good plumbers make more than mediocre college graduates. Make a plan and stop following what your failed society has planned for you.
