I mean, colleges are fucking expensive and their biggest appeal is a promise of a high paying job. Even public ones still eat up your soul and you may not necessarily be ready for "the job market" after graduation, or even academic life. Wholly different discussion.
Still, no way in hell I'll doubt that a bajillion ton (tonnes, whatever) of inertia can bring down a bridge. That's effectively an asteroid boulder slowly rolling down hill
Same. I was thinking, "yes, college IS a scam, but I wouldn't argue with most experts in their respective fields."
I don't think college is a scam. I think they are way overvalued in America. I think trades should be pushed more for sure.
True. I could also probably generalize it to most industries in the USA are scams.
But you know... Capitalism...
