25 years old and deep in debt

[CountDeMoney]

PDH and his bloated faculty are living off what amounts to a welfare transfer from student loan debt. 

Yeah, I'm sure they're popping corks of champagne over their caviar over it because, you know, they're making such mad bank.

Similar thing happening in HK.  We see too many cases of people borrowing heavily to study a diploma or certificate or associate degree or what not.  They end up doing the exact same basic jobs before and after the studies.  Even the degree holders aren't getting the office jobs anymore, so these guys are hopeless.  People need to wake up and realise that studying a two-year associate degree won't get you into a cubicle.

Yuck, why would anyone want to be in a cubicle?  *shudder*

I believe I told you people previously that higher ed is a scam.

But you probably don't even consider employment for the base scum who hold only associate degrees.

No shit.  Cal, you fucking elitist fuck.  An AA degree AND work experience?  NOT QUALIFIED SO SOLLY

I miss my office.    It was a nice office.

A cubicle is much better than the street.

Actually we recently hired a Director of IT Infrastructure who only has an AA.  What he lacks in degrees he more than makes up for in MAD LEET SKILLZ.

Obviously a cubicle is better than the unemployment line, but as some sort of dream job?

Beats the heck out of working in people's houses.

Best cyber warrior I ever knew never had a single college credit under his belt, but that's why he eventually left the company; they didn't promote people without degrees to leadership positions, so there were no growth opportunities for him down the road, despite his talents.

Luckily, the United States government felt differently about his skill sets.

A cubicle, by any means necessary.

It's close, thankfully I don't do residential work.  At least when you do you get to go to a new place and see new people every day or two, instead of staring at the same walls and trying to ignore the same annoying people everyday.

Education does not equal ability.

Tell it to the MBAs.  Of course, you'd have to tell them slowly.

Yet not getting the degree further reduces your chances. Its a bs situation.

There are a lot of people...average Americans who work their whole lives and never see the salaries that some cubicle workers draw.
