Throw it all at btc. This is near the bottom. At least 30k. The rest, try to wholesale I guess with amazon fba. Im just going all in btc right now. Mid term I want to start wholesaling online and become self employed.
I did a 2 yr degree. Absolutely worthless. Im just doing security right now. After a year, you can get pretty okay jobs (such as a security guard at a school). Well... a yr is what they ask for but jobs arent guaranteed.. but ya, so far I feel college was a fucking waste. I need 10 more classes for a bachelors as I just finished 2 more on sunday.

If you're not sure if you want to attend college or not, maybe you should go through some of the free on-line classes on Coursera or something like that to see if you at least like it. You also have to be honest with yourself and ask if you currently have the discipline to buckle down, do the work, and do decently in college to graduate in 4 years.

If you want to have a career in something like medicine, engineering, accounting, etc., those field require that you have a college degree. Even relatively bullshit careers such as IT or software development are much easier for a person with a degree in computer science, engineering, or some other hard science.

My opinion is that you should attend college, especially if you are interested in a non-bullshit major. However, make sure you are mature enough to go to college and not goof off so much that you fail out or get a GPA so low that you'll almost never find a job.

Yea nah dude. You stupid europoors don't even realize how much you are getting robbed by the taxman. We pay for our own education and healthcare because it is actually cheaper for everyone involved to pay for your own shit. OP's mom "paid" 40,000 dollars into a 529 plan so her ungrateful son can go to college. In Sweden he would have gotten into school for "free", but his mother would have ended up paying over 1 million euros for it over the course of her life because she has to pay for her son and everyone else's college too.

College debt can easily be paid off in 10 years or less if you make even a measly 40k. The problem is that most people don't actually try to pay off their loans, and skirt by on minimum payments for 20+ years then wonder they have no money.


>>16594353
OP, go to college. You have a fantastic opportunity in front of you right now. You can work part-time throughout and college and have a fat stack for yourself by the time you graduate. You can also get some basic bitch warehouse or production job, and literally walk into a management position by the time you're done with your degree. You have a magnificent opportunity laying in front of you so do not waste it.

The first job is very difficult to find for a person with a low GPA. Now, I'm sure there are people who can have extremely low GPAs who, due to connections or excellent salesmanship, are able to find jobs. However, the truth of the matter is that GPA matters a lot in some places. More likely than not, a college graduate is going to be working for a company. There are companies out there that pay very well and will not hire people without the proper degrees or GPAs and this goes beyond entry level positions.

Maybe if you literally never had a job before college. The only thing matters is work experience. The only jobs I've ever even seen ask about GPA were research/linguistic positions at defense agencies, and a teaching jobs. And for the latter you can just take an easy ass exam to get certified.

>There are companies out there that pay very well and will not hire people without the proper degrees or GPAs and this goes beyond entry level positions.

what a meme. With the 529 plan, I suppose he should go (though to a CC first), but take it from a guy that has done over 140 units. Most of college is fucking bullshti. You dont go there to "learn". It is inefficient as fuck and instructors are vague with tests making it artificially harder i.e. the class itself is easy but they make it harder buy not actually directly telling you what to study for so its basically a roulette when it comes to study. You gotta hope you study the right things. Chances are you will forget most of what you study.

I am an American and your views on college debt are ill-informed. It is utterly unconscionable that the U.S. government serves as the leg breaker for college loans that cannot be discharged through bankruptcy. Meanwhile, the text book publishers, in collusion with the colleges or professors, are essentially in violation of anti-trust laws due to the utterly usurious prices for text books in common subjects such as calculus.

Finally, if you think all tax-paying Americans aren't somehow subsidizing college, you're not paying close enough attention. The public colleges receive money from their states and all real colleges (including private ones) receive free money through their exemptions from capital gains taxes on their endowments and exemptions from property taxes for their campuses. Then we can add in the billions of dollars squandered on college for illegal aliens and stupid minorities who are not qualified to go to college.

I'm saying this as a person who graduated long enough ago when public college tuition was maybe 10% of what it is today. I do not worry about the effects of outrageous costs of college for myself; I worry for the future of this country.

I don't know what kind of field in which you work or what you majored in but there are some very well-paying jobs that you pretty much have to have a degree from an elite college to get hired. It's bullshit considering how stupid many of the elite colleges' alumni are but that's life. As for GPA, do you really think the stupid HR people can measure how qualified a person is through a mere interview? They're often too stupid to even read a resume. The GPA is about the only thing they can understand: "Higher number better!" They're so dumb that they believe a 4.0 in basket weaving is better than 3.7 in physics.

I never said they weren't. However, that money paying for schools comes from taxes we already pay. There is specific education tax like theire is Sweden. I was never arguing that college is cheap.

My point was that paying $300-$500/mo for 5-10 years after college is a helluva lot cheaper than paying an extra 25% on income for the rest of your life.

The law has been corrupted and you are a product of a corrupted system. [Note: I am not trying to insult you. The system is terribly broken and it is the system I am attacking.] How else can you explain a freshman calculus text book costing $200 or more? The material in those books has not changed in hundreds of years. It's even more hilarious when there are frequent updates to these books.

There is no law that specifically states that the college text book scam violates anti-trust laws or racketeering laws. However, I'd be willing to bet that lawyers during the time when the U.S. actually enforced things like the Sherman Anit-Trust Act would see the text books as a clear violation of laws.

The extra taxes in Sweden aren't just for college as I'm sure you're well aware. Swedes also have universal health care and a universal pension. The boomers (yeah, yeah, I know, fuck 'em) are retiring and many of them are totally screwed since they don't have pensions. It's even worse for subsequent generations. Social Security is a pension but it doesn't do enough to replace working income. The U.S. retirement system was supposed to be a stool with three legs: savings, a company pension, and Social Security. Boomers squandered their savings, some never had a pension or got screwed (thank scum like Neutron Jack Welch), and Social Security doesn't pay much.

I'm not saying that I like the Swedish system; I think the U.S. system, done right where plunderers are severely punished, results in a stronger, more dynamic economy. But the high taxes Swedish people pay do give them a lot of benefits. Finally, the tax rates in the U.S. are lower but most of it has been due to giveaways to the ultra wealthy and the corporations. Meanwhile, we're running up terrible deficits and it's difficult to know who's going to take it up the ass when it all goes to pot. I hope it's foreigners and the rotten rich (not all rich people are rotten).

Sounds delusional. The pic you posted doesnt justly compare costs either. It would make more sense to compare buying power by country or possibly paycheck to paycheck stats (i.e. in the u.s. 78% of fulltime workers live paycheck to paycheck. Imagine adding in part time workers into the equation).

If the two people you are describing are applying for the same job (one with a 4.0 in Basket weaving vs 3.7 in physics), then one or both of them is retarded due to the nature of their degree compared to the nature of the job they are applying for. Also you need to take the quality of school into consideration. For example, I have a cousin who went to Harvard and majored in (I shit you not) some dumb shit that I think was called "political dissidence" or something, while I majored in a soft and hard science science for my major/minor at a t60- my cousin now has a significantly higher paying job than me due to her school and the connections she made there despite her degree being essentially garbage.

The number would be lower if some of that 78% weren't so utterly terrible with money. Even people who make fairly high salaries squander money on things like overpriced mobile phone plans, unused gym memberships, etc. A friend who works in the wealth management industry told me of a VP who grosses over $1M/year being on the verge of having his new BMW repossessed.

I threw out basket weaving and physics as a gross example. A real life example would be a person who majored in IS (information systems) versus a person who majored in computer science. Where I went to college, the IS program was in the college of business whereas computer science was in the college of natural sciences. The most difficult mathematics the IS major had to take was a watered-down differential calculus. The computer science major is essentially a math major and had to take things like differential equations, graph theory, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, etc. Large corporations viewed the degrees as equivalent and viewed a 4.0 GPA in IS as better than a 3.7 in CS, assuming both degrees were issued by the same university and in the same year.

Even with the exboritant cost of college a simple guesstimation will tell you it's cheaper to pay for your own shit.

Say tuition in sweden is $10,000 but you go for "free", and in America school costs (I'll use my debt amount) $38,000. Assuming you earn an average of $60,000/yr dollars for the next 40 years, and 25% of that goes to taxes for education. You're looking at $600,000 dollars worth of tuition in Sweden versus only the $38,000 plus interest here.

College is a racket in some ways, but once you get over the initial debt set back, it's smooth sailing because of significantly lower taxes.

Employers ask for degrees when not needed for the job which is why so many people go to college in the first place so employers are just at fault for the student debt crisis hence why it should be illegal to ask for degrees unless strictly required for the job (i.e. nursing, lawyer, etc.)

Your absolute best plan is this: (a) Spend about $10k on some technical degree - plumbing, electrical, system admin, oil field tech, etc. (b) take out remainder and pay tax hit (pay a CPA $500 to consult because there may be a way to pull it out in phases to minimize tax burden), (c) invest in mix of 1/3rd btc, 1/3rd large cap stock ETF, and 1/3rd tax free municipal bond fund. (d) get a job making $35k per year from technical degree and add $3000 per year to nest egg savings. (e) retire with a couple of million

Oh and the best part is that you completely ignored my other post to you about lawyers, doctors, businessmen, and engineers. This is because you probably looked it up and found you were wrong, then decided to not reply for fear of looking stupid on an anonymous mongolian fishing forum. Then you decided to retain some of your dignity by only replying to my post about coding by looking at entry-level requirements for coding positions in the hopes of retaining some sense of intelligence.

go to college to be an LPN or a RN.
a man working in the healthcare field as a nurse is highly sought after in healthcare and the perk about doing this is that you get to work with lots of women.
you'll never not have a job because hospitals are always always looking for male nurses.
its one of the ultimate job security positions and the work is extremely easy to do.
and with $40k you could easily pay for your entire education with it.
hope this helps ya out kid but fill some bags of LINK, RSR, ETH, and BTC if you havent already.

If you have any doubts about college then don't go. If you don't have the motivation of a degree in something you have a real passion for, then there is no point. College is a waste of time and money if you half ass it. Sit on it if you might use it in the future, if not, taking the tax hit might seem insane at first but it's logical. There might be a big brain "Go to cheapest community college and spend 35K on 'books'" thing but I have no idea.

OP, don't listen to the retards arguing about GPA. It matters, and college is worth it assuming you go in and don't act like an ungrateful nigger. Do some ECs, it's maybe 2-3 hours a week and gets you interviews or start some bullshit club if it's not already there.


Go to your state univ (UVA, UW, UMich, UT Austin) or a community college with the intent of transferring. Stay in-state and the 40k should easily last your tuition/fees. You have to use it on college at this point. Study and get the fuck off 4chan when you need to, pick a major that gets you some $$ that you enjoy doing. Aim for a starting salary about equal to your total cost of attendance for all colleges.

Consider not majoring in anything other than Hard Stem, friend. I never was "indoctrinated" even in my humanities classes. Depending on the field I am in, I could see myself using a lot of what I learned and it is good to know how to do the general ed things. If you can't pass calc 2 and understand the concept material, then you've pretty much had entire sectors eliminated for you.

You were doing fine until you mentioned software jobs. The software industry is one of the very few industries where any monkey can find a job and make six figures, even for non-retard positions. Granted, if you want to work for Microsoft Research, you'll likely have to have a degree or have done something truly significant if you don't have a degree.

But true engineering jobs (software engineering is not real engineering, in my opinion) practically all require engineering degrees to get hired on. To get the Professional Engineer designation, the candidate *must* have an engineering degree, have passed the EIT certification, and have X number of years working under or with a Professional Engineer.

Go to community college at least. If you aren't in a vulnerable position financially, higher education will absolutely enrich you. There's a reason liberal arts were created - they make better men, even if we live in strange times academically.

If you don't want a liberal arts education at all, go to a trade school. Learn something, get a degree.

It becomes fucking brutally hard to compete out there if you don't work to obtain some evidence of an earned skill or merit.

Because it is. You have almost no practical knowledge and are going to start at the bottom of the totem pole because a business degree is way too fucking broad to apply, and in my experience so far in the corporate sector, not nearly as good as STEM background.

Getting a business degree pops you in the dumbest monkey positions. These are your sales guys, your hr drones, and your accountants. A business degree may help you understand what you need to do to start a business, but you're going to be hard pressed to start a business by yourself, because you're gonna know squat shit about what you'd be doing. You'll be starting at a lower pay and a more stressful position as well, making it even harder for you. And unless you are going to a bigger name school, then your business degree is instantly not worth as much as an engineering degree from the same uni.
