Education is an interesting thing. Without it you end up doing the shit I do except for a living. Say what you want, but greeting people at fucking walmart is as much a job as cleaning toilets. It's the a sad job filled with the mindless.
So what's wrong with education? Nothing really. Unless you live in america or a 3rd or 2nd world country, but hey, whats the difference. From the college perspective a lot of shit is messed up. First of all is cost. It costs 4,000$ per semester. 4 GRAND!!! And thats not even for a whole fucking year. To top it off, that's cheap, out of state tuition is 8 grand per semester or 16k a year. That might seem like a lot but that's still loads cheaper then private colleges. In the US we have public schools that are relatively cheap but relatively the hardest. Think of it like community college vs a 4 year college or highschool vs a 4 year college.
Private colleges are the biggest pieces of shit compared to the public schools. Most places 16k+ where I live at. Some small private colleges have 30k$ for tuition each semester. Of course they hand out degrees like it's candy compared to public colleges. Then again that's related to degree. Psych majors are a dime a dozen but NOBODY is turning out 1k doctors unless it's some kind of pre med college.
I know how people in our political system like to talk about the debt of the average person and all, but college doesn't help when everyone is poor in college. Most people have loans and scholarships are hard to come by. Some people make it sound like all you have to do is apply. Well unless you're parents don't work or make near minimum wage you don't get much. Especially if you don't have a 3.5GPA or above. Sure a 3.5 is easy, if you spend all your time doing nothing but studying or pick a major like english. A few people get above a 3.5 but the average is a 2.15, in my college anyway, for a reason. Shit is hard especially if you have a real major. But I think I'll save that for another post.
