A bit more about me. I make 140,000/yr from active income. When you account for my pension + house rental proceeds, that number goes up to around 200,000/yr. I was given the opportunity to use VA money to go back to college. However, it's semester one and i already feel like i want to rage quit. I am failing feminist critical race theory, whatever its called now because my papers arent good enough, and I have an 85% or so in my math class. The woman for the femicunt class is super fucking nit picky and biased. However, I just cant find any motivation or care to continue doing this shit, especially knowing the US will most likely implode come the next decade or housing crash, whichever comes first. Heck with the accelerationism going on, i foresee a 2022 blow off, if SA is anything to go off. I was always told I would need a degree to amount to anything, but by my brother's own admission it would take him 10 years to get to where i am today, and he has a PHD. Now i dont know what to do, because i dont need a degree, dont want one, but have the means to get one. And yet, i would rather keep my lack of a degree as a badge of honor knowing i persevered and got to where i am without it, and teaching the younger generation it CAN be done, rather than succumb to more kike bullshit

All those people telling you that you need a college degree to be successful don't know history.

Up until WW2, only rich kids went to college. They farted around for 4 years and found spouses. Then they went on to success because they had the family and social connections to get top jobs. College taught them what to talk about at cocktail parties. Everyone else got by with a high school education and on-the-job training.

During WW2, the military developed intelligence and aptitude tests to determine what jobs recruits could do competently. Starting in the 1950s, corporations and colleges realized that they could use those tests to decide who should get a promotion or admission. Going to college became an option for all veterans with the GI Bill. Employers started requiring a college degree for white collar jobs because it meant the graduate could read and write with proper grammar. Getting into top colleges became competitive.

Colleges multiplied exponentially in the second half of the 20th century because a degree became a requirement for many jobs like bookkeeping, technician and salesman that don't really require it. We all know that computer work is based on aptitude, not knowing Shakespeare and Marx. As more people went to college, standards dropped so anyone with a 85 IQ could get a degree. Employers realized that a college degree was meaningless. The fact that Bernie Sanders wants everyone to get a free college degree should tell you that.
