Why are we still paying $40K for degrees that get us nowhere?
By uniquitstudent · Apr 6, 2025 · ⬆ 81I’m tired of hearing about how college is the only path to success. It’s a scam, and we’re all falling for it.
I mean, look at the job market. Most of us are drowning in debt and working jobs that don’t even require a degree. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee.
We need to start valuing skills over degrees. The world is changing, and we need to change with it.

They want you in debt so you don’t rebel.
I paid off my loans at 38. Would not recommend.
Some careers still need degrees, though. Let’s not throw out the baby.
This has been true for decades. We just ignored it before.
The real issue is that education is a business, not a public service.
