Is Education A Big Scam?

education is not for job remember it .

education is to buildup your mind .

don't get education to earn money because again you can have example of bill gates who is not highly educated at all but one of the biggies giant of finance in this world.

education gives you 2 things .

better brain
and some technical knowledge .

after getting education if you do some specific technical learning your brain start to work in that field more better then others who are not educated of that field .

and then again every student get a job of his knowledge and luck .

one thing education must give is . it make you a better human .
and remember don't count the degree . some one can go in collage and university and get out as it was inn .

so to be a good human must study and once you get done check your self are you behaving like an educated or not

further i am available to discuss if you think i sound some reasonable or want to understand what i said

 

I was agreeing you but until I read this part.

If the best humans are the ones who've studied a lot then why do most of our politicians hold Ivy-League degrees but are still not very smart

See you do exersise to build your body right ?

But it dose mean you are guranted to havs title.

Some use good body to inspire girls
Some do get title
Some do ti harras others
Some do just to be fit.

So it all depend on what you do at what level you do and what you have in your mind .......

For whatever the reason you are doing workout it will make your body strong.

Now you cant say that working out on your body is bad because you always see some bouncers harrasing other or the night street guys.

Same is the case of education.

It build your mind . Who use in what direction.
These politicians are smart at the end as they.always able to make us fool

My spell check is not with me so its going to be worst today i hope you correct them when read

 

See we always have examples of success and fail.

Yes.

That's a significant amount of coursework. What courses did you like?

 

I know this is a bit of an old post and haven't read this entire thread yet but I'm just going to post the definition of the word academia.

ac·a·de·mi·a

ˌakəˈdēmēə
noun: academia

1. 
   
   
   
   
   the environment or community concerned with the pursuit of research, education, and scholarship.
   "he spent his working life in academia"

Education is something Catholics made up to acquire more funding, in order to purchase Faberge eggs and the like.

It really depends on a lot of factors. A catchall "education is BS or indoctrination" might ring true to an extent but is not always the case. I teach and I try to encourage my students to always ask questions. My exams are built around critical thinking and creativity and very little memorization. The little memorization there is, is to see if they can properly use recently learned vocabulary words in a context that is meaningful to them.

While some of my teachers pushed uniformity, some of them did encourage students to be independent and think for themselves.

Just like the general population, there are some sheep and some free thinkers and that is true amongst teachers too.

Like I said in my other post, I even took a critical thinking course where the basis was picking apart all sorts of things. It came naturally to me, but to some, it was kind of sad to see that you kind of have to "teach it"...well, I mean, as much as you can possibly teach such a thing.

Just the same, I will not badmouth someone, even if they dropped out in school as a teen. A degree alone does not make you better or intellectually superior to someone who does not hold a degree. That alone is meaningless in regards to determining someones intelligence and a few posters in this thread would do well to remember that and get off their high horse, especially a few of you pressing others without a degree.

 

Here is a law school professor saying law school is a scheme. He runs a blog called "inside the law school scam": http://insidethelawschoolscam.blogspot.ca/ . It's very clear that the value of an education has depreciated tremendously over the past several decades while the pricetag has simultaneously skyrocketed. The education system has devolved into a ponzi scheme.

I think what bothers me is people assume that educations result in big wages and monetary value. They also come out of education with the "can't find a job" mentality.

Like there's nothing to do in life, there's no jobs at all. Dams don't need to be dug, roads don't need to be laid, we live in pristine cleanliness so we don't need to worry about cleaning up after ourselves.

I know these jobs rest of sorts on the council workers, they earn good money and they don't need fancy education, they just need a can do attitude and motivation to earn money for a living. Work.

That's not what my generation wants to do though. I don't see many young people or my age bracket out there doing labor work. They came out of education thinking they were above this sort of work, yet they can't find work, so they whinge and complain and it's all unfair.

Man, if someone /really/ wanted a job and a living, I could find them something like *snap*. They don't want it though. If it requires you to get up on your feet and use some oompf, well, that's not what they went to education for. Fuck that, they say. They're above it.

 

I've known some really smart people who have done manual labor, so i dont look down on it at all, i would probably be a lot happier myself doing landscaping or something related than my current desk job but the pay is kinda shit

But with that said, I can understand why someone who forked out 100,000 for school wouldnt want to do a job they could have went straight into without the degree. And a lot of these kids were probably told their whole lives to get a degree so they wouldnt have to do manual work.

The world has changed a lot in a few short years - my generation was spoon fed this idea that we could do anything we want, should study what you love, and that education is always worth the cost...and then once you get out of school its like oh just kidding there are no jobs in this field but maybe if you're lucky you can find a job in construction or you can be a barista making $9.00 an hour, have fun paying off all your debt with a salary that doesnt even cover the cost of living!

The wisdom or lack thereof in choosing an expensive school over an affordable one, or a major with an actual job market over a passion with linited options, can be debated all day but I think when people put down this generation they forget so easily how this mirage, this dream of a life of unlimited options and choices was force fed to them from kindergarten on and just how quickly the rug was pulled out from under them when the recession hit

 

That's the problem with our generation they don't want to work a job that gets their hands dirty.

A Harvard professor says something similar here about manual labor and trades being a better option than pursuing a college degree and how college is basically a scam these days.
