What you studied is not such of essence. That you studied, however, is. During a degree, your maturity grows involuntarily, which is what I want. I don’t care what knowledge you gained there, because anything is a bonus.

They just want employees shackled by student loan debts.

Nah I’m a EU fag. I don’t trust US products. Sorry mate. And please don’t choke on that cookie. You wouldn’t be able to afford the medical bill.

Learning is a skill.

Knowledge is free, but college is not. The older I get and the more people I meet, the more I see how little connection there is between basic degrees and intelligence.

Knowledge and maturity can be gained through various paths in life. Whether one sits in a classroom or not, someone dedicated to learn will learn while someone just looking to coast by will coast by. A lot of people have gone to college not due to a love of learning, but because it was expected of them. Sadly, it shows.
