[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 4762226, member: 198"] Traditional college is more or less a scam. Some critical careers, such as nursing and doctors, require it as a steppingstone/prerequisite for their medical training. And a few going into the financial field or scientific studies. But everything else is a waste of time unless your goal is to be top dog and some mundane administration job that doesn’t pay well. The claim that college is required in order to learn/access critical thinking skills is a bunch of hogwash. Want proof of just how irrelevant the majority of college degrees actually are? Just look at our government. Something like 80% of our elected officials have college degrees of various types and they, obviously, are pros at making stupid decisions and fracking up this country. Meanwhile, people that learned skills through OJT and/or trade schools tend to be more valuable to society than the majority of people who wasted their time, and sometimes they’re own money, on traditional college.
