College is not a scam

I know it’s likely not a belief in this group but… To those that believe this lie, I ask how? If you went into the situation with the wrong idea about what college is for, then yes, I can see how you’d think it was a scam. Or if you’re someone who didn’t attend and are one if the few who are “doing fine” and only have the lies of grifters, then yes, I can see how you’d think it’s a scam. But college or higher education is not about getting a job, its about acquiring skills, learning how to learn, and how to process it all when you no longer have a teacher. If you went and only focused on grades in order to get a degree in order to get a job, then you screwed up! You the individual focused on the wrong thing and now want to play the blame game. Its like playing basketball but only focusing on dribbling, of course you won’t get the outcome you want your focus was on the wrong thing. To those that did not attend but are doing well, congratulations!! You are a prime example of survivor bias. Good for you in pulling 6- figues but the vast majority of people don’t or would even get close without some level of higher education. Lastly, are any of these rich anti college grifters pushing their kids not to go to college?

My apologies for spelling errors. I typed this on my phone and have big fingers. Also I’m very tired of the narrative being so negative about bettering yourself via higher education.
