I can understand getting a degree that earns you $$$. I can also understand a retiree getting a degree in a hobby subject like Medieval French History because they find that more fun than buying a boat.

What I dont grasp is why people get a worthless degree (Early Childhood Education or Gender Studies comes to mind) with the goal of using it to earn money. The ROI is clearly negative. Are they stupid? Bad at math? Irrational? Trying to nihilistically ruin their lives through eternal debt?

The only reason to visit the unlearning centers is because you want to rub elbows. College/University is to build networks vet initiates and weed out the incompetent. You pay money to get your foot in the door. Most don't belong there though.

If you aren't trying to get initiated in to faggot circles, there's many lifetimes of focused, disciplined, pursuits you could accrue for free on the internet, all without someone's permission or assistance. There's no reason to go to one of them if your aim is education.

However, there are caveats: Everyone's aim ought to be self-employment so long as you're fully capable. But there are professions that don't lend the typical capabilities of self-employment and many aren't competent enough to actually fulfill those particular requirements such that they're better off having direction. In this case, and so long as you're aiming for an occupation that has readily available positions and makes good enough money that can nullify the loans you used rather quickly, or if you get grants/scholarships, partaking isn't too big of an issue. The main problem for typical people in these environments is saturation of job markets and competition over wages.

So, in other words, if you're capable enough and good at learning, you don't need a teacher or some sanctioned pass to practice/study. There are many ways to make money on your own. However, some people aren't that competent and need the wage crutch. Just be sure if you go to a college/university that you present your self well and make good connections and only join programs that aren't already saturated and have high demands and qualifying pay.

Otherwise, taking out giant loans that will indebt you for decades is retarded. Also, there's no reason for a woman to devote her life to an occupation. Don't you dare let your daughter ruin her future by going to college/university unless she has poor genetics or can't produce offspring and gets it all for free, either by your pockets or some grant/scholarship.
