Explain this meme. In the us the average cost is 37k, average return on investment is 1.3 million.

How much do you retards actually expect it to cost? It could be 500k and still easily outperform every conventual investment.

the thing is, colllege is turning into something the retards go to. it used to be the place for the smarter people to gather and learn, but with internet, smart people don't need to go anywhere anymore to learn.

They self learn on the internet and on their own.
Retards go to college cause they need teachers to spoonfeed them.

If you can program, which you can learn with online courseware, you can skip college and work at startups instead.
So factor in ~60k initial salary for 4 years to paying ~40k per year (because tuition is only one aspect of college) without a guarantee of a degree.
If you are going to work minimum wage and do normie shit instead, then go to college.
If you are going to hack the system, and be a dev, maybe look at other avenues.

You dont learn that in medschool though.
The only benefit is cut-throat competition and pressure from professors
Most neets would give up after a week, but theoretically with extreme drive you could supplement med school with internet and sewing pork body parts in your garage

The other problem is that you can’t eceb declare bankruptcy on the loans. You’re literally shackled. And the incentives are all fucked up. The colleges have long been paid off, its these financial institutions that are collecting the debt. Plus, since the loans are government backed, colleges can keep raising the price knowing full well Uncle Sam will always pay his dues. Which comes out of the tax payers pocket of course.

Yes. A college education is worth it. Especially if you want to be some kind of specialist. ( doctor lawyer politician oil and gas) college is still very much worth the price. Sure, if you go 70k in debt for a medieval French art history degree or psych degree you won’t get a dec not enough job to pay off your loans. Anyone that says college is a scam is actually retarded. Albeit some college is a foolish investment..scam.. no.
