So you are then saying to the American youth DONT GO TO COLLEGE???????>
You completely ignore the fact that tutition is WAY more than when you went to college........WHY???????
I'm saying it might not be wise to go to college to get an unmarketable degree, and it certainly isn't wise to go that far into debt with dubious results. Sometimes trade school is a good option to start, a much better financial option than an MSW from Smith.
I think you have to go deeper than that.
The education debt is not really by choice now is it? The alternate is no education at all.
You are assuming that earning a degree is in fact an education. You can get the same education for free in a library as you can at any college.
something many here will refuse to admit.

No you can't. Don't be stupid.
Made my point for me. Thank you.
Here's the thing:
People can teach themselves many things, but claiming that a person can sit alone in a library and get the equivalent of a college education is just nonsense, as anyone who bothers to think about it carefully for two minutes will conclude.

I guess you're ignoring the fact that you can sit alone in a library these days and actually earn a college degree. Perhaps you've heard of University of Phoenix?

Yeah, that's worth about as much as your opinion here is. I can also become a minister online and pay $50 to name a star after myself. I think you get the point.

You're the one here arguing for the value of a degree. And now I've made you contradict yourself.

You have done no such thing. Good job acting like a 12 year old though.![]()
Sorry Poindexter, but no.
So Sally none of these people were educated because they didn't have a degree?

You see Sally not everyone needs to pay people to tell them what words in a book mean
You didn't even read most of those little profiles, did you Poindexter? Leaving aside the interesting question of what percentage of the total working population they represent, which of them do you offer your life to if you need complicated surgery?
No you can't. Don't be stupid.
Made my point for me. Thank you.
No, I refuted your point. Read more carefully.

My bad, I assumed your comment about my opinion was that it wasn't worth anything. I now understand that you were ascribing tremendous value to it, so thanks for that.![]()

One can learn the skills needed to perform surgery without having a degree. ]
The fact that people can still CLEP out of college courses proves that anyone can master college courses on their own.
I saved thousands by taking CLEP exams ]

Your opinion, like an online ministry, a phoney-baloney U of Phoenix'degree' and claiming a star is really yours, is worth exactly nothing.

Doesn't that just figure? Did you do that after you got your GED? Your attitude and obvious limitations are becoming more and more understandable.

Ah, now we have people claiming that both a formal education and experience are unnecessary, but can't seem to fit both arguments together. This is where it all dissolves into semantics as jokers like you start to look for the exits.
You can certainly get an education from books instead of teachers.
Whether or not anyone will hire you if you are self-taught is another story.
