Anyone who can't figure out how to see the 'indescribable beauty of the world around us' without having a professor drag him around by his cock to look at it, probably ain't seeing all that goddamned much of it anyway.Capital_9 wrote:If you go to a good university, that tuition is probably the single best investment you can make in your life. If you are so one dimensional to think that skills you learn in university must lead directly to jobs whose salary pays a certain return on tuition spent, then you are doomed to never understand the indescribable beauty of the world around us and the history that led us to this point. If at 18 years of age you try to plan out the next decade or two, you will be all the poorer for it. At 18, a man with curiosity and ambition should be looking to expand his mind, not to narrow his set of opportunities.Pol Pothead wrote: Higher education is insanely expensive in the US, and I was spending my own hard earned money to attend.
But as said before, there are some excellent universities that offer free rides to students who can not afford tuition.
If a high school student wants to go to university to study and to grow, it is a cruel form of child abuse to discourage him.
If you are so daft as to think spending around 40k US on an education in order NOT to make any more money you are probably doomed to understand the 'indescribable beauty' of eating cat food at retirement.
