So they want the expensive piece of paper just to prove you can endure 4 years of something you’ll never use? Talk about a barrier to entry.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

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.
Hello US Defaultism
Do you want a cookie?
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.
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.
Learning is a skill.
