College has become a huge joke outside of very focused academic subjects that do not allow a foray into the nonsensical agendas of the leftist cultural marxists who fill up most college campuses. Unfortunately the required Gen ED courses put all students through the cultural marxist grinder and half of the tuition is given away to these unnecessary classes. I'll be the first to say I have a useless degree but while in college I did things my way, had my cultural awakening to realize what was actually going on in society and just wanted to get out of there (I had my fun too
). I never had much respect for any of my professors or instructors and did not put forth maximum effort. I was told I needed to go to college by my parents, friends and the ever so useless counselors at my school who treated the college you were going to attend as a status symbol so I did. The fact that a college degree is necessary for so many jobs is laughable,
I often wonder if their is not some big ploy between higher education and corporate Amerika to make the population go through college to dumb them down/indoctrinate for four more years and make them good sheep for the bore that is typical American work place.
Degrees in Math/Accounting, Sciences, Information Technology are pretty much the only worthwhile undergrad degrees. As Heretic mentioned trades should be emphasized more and more.
