I co-own a security firm with a friend and this past year we've been getting infrastructure projects. I hire people with college degrees and most of them have crippling student debt. Debt I dont have.
You got a lot of resentment in you and you need to stop thinking there are guarantees in life for someone. There isn't. The idea that theres a path made of velvet and lined with roses that offers you everything in the world is the brainwashed concept.
A person's character is built and forged through how they approach and deal with hardships. You can define yourself by being knocked down and staying down or defined by getting back up. I say this in hopes that someone reading this who's in a shit situation, like me about a decade ago, doesn't give up hope on themselves. A silly expensive piece of paper doesn't grant access for shit anymore. Except for crippling debt. It gives you access to crippling debt.
- jigglesniggle 7y agoYour security firm would likely be doing better if you had a degree. Even if you-with-degree had not gone the same route you would be doing something different but for more money. The average effect of a degree is an increased income even accounting for debt. There is no guarantee in life. But what you are doing is trying to dissuade me from pursuing fairness. Imagine saying what you are saying to civil rights protesters in the 60s. Do you really think it would fly? "Accept the status quo and don't try to change it! Just succeed despite it." That is insane. If the odds are against you change them, through violence if necessary.
