Pretty much everyone is ready to go to work out of high school. Yet for most jobs, the only applicants that will be considered must have a 4 year degree, which is essentially 4 years of very expensive daycare for adults. The universities function primarily as an obstacle to stop young adults from entering the workforce and integrating into society.

College in America is pretty much pointless. A degree is required for most shit though, like a High School Diploma used to be. College's force you to take classes that you have no interest in just to fill general education requirements instead of taking classes for the job that you want to get. Even when you take classes for your major, nothing prepares you for an actual job than having that job. You can go into just about any line of work and after a month, know what you have to do.

The problem is, things like English and History are important, they're just not something where there is a huge market for PhDs in those subjects. Kids haven't been taught the critical thinking skills to look ahead and see what the job market is going to look like in 10 years.

Do you want to know one thing that is going to be important in the near future? Agriculture. Our farmers are getting older than hell. Demand for food that isn't the result of an industrialized agricultural system is also on the rise. In 5 or 10 years, there will be enormous opportunity there. A lot of kids who get misty eyed about gender studies should be going to an Ag school instead.

I don't know. I haven't studied at Columbia so I'm in no position to say how good or bad that school really is and probably neither are you.

There is no way of telling what school is the best. Sure we can compare schools on local level but globally there are so many variables that it becomes impossible. Varying funding, different programs, longer or shorter tradition, number of students, how good particular departments are it all differs from school to school.

You are correct on all fronts, sir. A classical liberal education, even a token one, is essential for good mind. Going austist STEM-only is basically training to be a human robot.

And food and other natural resource exploitation technologies are where it's at. The robber barons of today know this, which is why they're throwing all their heft and money after inventing a new global economy centered around their control of said resources and technologies.

>Why doesn't /pol/ like higher education?

Higher education is good, the problem lies with liberal infested shithole universities. That said, there are plenty that aren't that bad so the fault lies with retards who go there and then complain.

>Isn't knowledge good?

By what system of morality? There are very few that hold knowledge itself to be an intrinsic good. Many hold it to be good so long as it leads to good things. In that regard, college is good so long as it leads to a good job. Depending on what job you are going for, there are often times far better alternatives.

"Muh niggers" literally is the answer. Goes to show the quality of liberal arts education that they unironically teach all the lemmings that races are equal.

>That's also a meme. There are TONS of stemtards who have no job out of college.
Because they either picked a degree with less job prospects like pure bio or they didn't network at all. In any case, more STEM graduates get jobs than non-STEM graduates per capita. Stay mad about it.

My biggest issue with higher education in the US is that, at the moment, it's just High School 2.0. You need a college degree to get a job now, because everyone is encouraged to go to college and it saturated the market with graduates.

This wouldn't be a problem, except that it's something that you're required to go to and required to pay for—instead of all schooling before it, which is free.

Granted, I'm not saying that we should make college free. Instead, we should make high school classes harder, but let people know of the other options out there (e.g. trade school), and not force everyone into higher education.

There is more to ag than giant combines. Plus, like I said, people are rediscovering non-industrial food products. On top of that, robotics requires energy. Pic related is the price that oil companies need to break even, or it was back in 2013 or 2014. If you look at the current oil price and compare, you know that the oil industry is going to break. That will make running those robots a lot more expensive.

First of all, /pol/ always praises STEM, so you're wrong.
Second, higher education is a collective term that covers more or less every form of college education, from a bachelor's degree in women's studies to a PhD in physics. In other words, a higher education isn't inherently a good or a bad thing. It depends what kind of higher education you get.
Currently, we have an enormous amount of useless degrees that doesn't really teach you anything but political and social propaganda. These need to be drastically reduced, removed or retooled, so that they teach people something of value, or so they can focus their energy elsewhere.

Any degree is viable if it fits into your career plans. That's why STEMfags don't understand. They've spent their whole lives trying to do the thing that gives them instant gratification that they've failed to realize there are many paths to success.

True true.

Columbia is my dream school atm, I have a ~30-40% of being accepted with my qualifications according to admissions.

I'll be apply to their business school in 1-2 years.

Higher education is great on paper.

There's a lot of problems with it though. One of them is simply shitty professors who don't help their students, or require a certain number of students get Cs, Bs, and As despite mastery of the material, or just regurgitate assignments from online without actually knowing how to teach. There's a lot of other university problems too, but tat's just one of them.

What professor gives A papers C or B grades? I can't see the benefit for anyone of doing that..

That chart was the price that oil would need to be in order for the oil companies to be cash flow neutral. Capex is something that they still have to shell out, which effects how much oil needs to be in order for them to be cash flow neutral, especially if you are talking about the frackers. Fracked oil wells in places like the Bakken have a first year depletion rates of something like 50%-70%, so they have to "DRILL BABY DRILL!" even if all they want to do is keep production flat. That take capex. In fact, between 2000 and 2014, capex costs per bbl increased 10.9% per year. It's still money flowing out, which needs to be replaced by money flowing in.

Actually the case, got some coaching from a local radio host, though supposedly I actually interviewed pretty well the third time and less shit the second. They just didn't think I was a fit for the organization or some shit.

I have no engineers in my immediate family, so it's possible everyone else has connections or something.

Honestly doing something applied is fine and the top tier students can get away with something general, but most students doing psychology, anthropology, sociology, English and the like are going to get buttfucked with debt and no job opportunities.

I've done lots of university. University currently only really works financially for people who become academics. Academics are primarily politicians who do research (or supervise graduate students) as a way to pull more grant funding. Most academics have some kind of serious personality disorder and leave miserable, lonely lives.

The only degree worth getting is an engineering degree, but in Canada at least, getting an engineering degree is still a waste of time. It's more like getting a stamp on your forehead that says: "I love working long hours for free!". While you're more likely to get a job as an engineer, that job is guaranteed to be full of responsibility and demands, and you're not going to be paid much anyway.

Take a good long look at all that shit you just typed, then consider that people used to get decent paying work fresh out of high school. Then ask yourself one simple question: How long do you think it will be before this country elects an openly socialist president?

Waving around the intro material you learned from your undergrad engineering sciences doesn't prove anything.

It's literally jargon at this scenario and you're being the textbook example of an elitest, overly talkitave douche

>college

At this point, college and knowledge are mutually exclusive. It is quite literally an expensive book club for horny alcoholics where professors espouse opinion instead of objective fact. Even STEM is filled with political bullshit and at my uni the engineering department has more furries than the fucking sociology weirdos. If I wasn't already balls deep and on the verge of graduation, I would've said fuck it long ago.
