I'm going to come right out and say it.
College is useless.
Yeah, my cynicism is showing. Why is it necessary to shell out a ridiculous amount of money to secure a job that doesn't involve jockeying a register, scrubbing latrines or flipping burgers at Wendy's? Why do I need to pony up an obscene, egregious amount of money to do something I already know how to do?
It makes sense for technical jobs; engineers, biologists, etc. I'm not planning to become a super-scientist, I want to be a copy editor.
Putting on my tinfoil hat for a moment, I personally think the institution of college is set in place as a class divide. The poor can only get but so much in grants, the middle-class gets jack squat, and the rich can throw money at the problem all they want. It's sick.
