theson said:This is probably the hardest pill to swallow because a lot of people conclude that university degrees are useless after being unable to find a job when they finish school. However, contrary to what people say, having a university degree is absolutely essential and those who say otherwise all have university degrees which they take for granted.
Every job these days requires a bachelor's degree as a minimum. Furthermore, if you do find a job that accepts a lower credential, you will never move up in the company and you will get paid less. And it doesn't even matter what your degree is in. I graduated with a diploma from a polytechnical college but any political science or fine arts major is considered more employable than me.
Your degree doesn't have to be your career. In fact, most people's careers are not related to their degree at all. I am looking at people I went to school with 10 years ago on linkedin and it is absolutely devastating because they majored in history or something like that but then they went to a coding bootcamp and became software engineers pulling in six figures. You can switch careers like that with a degree but if you went to a vocational school like me you are considered a drooling retard that can only do one task for the rest of his life, under strict supervision from multiple managers.
And if that wasn't bad enough, if you are not Chad then not having a degree is an instantaneous REJECTION from any female because they all have university level education and will never date down. It gets worse: as a non-degree holder, I can't locationmaxx because my education isn't recognized internationally, it is recognized only within my shitty province, and maybe within Canada.
Being a near 30 year old man without a degree is absolutely BRUTAL. All doors are closed for you and you can't even ascend in SEA. I did about a year of university not too long ago because I wanted to redeem myself but I dropped out because I got depressed and lost motivation. It is absolutely brutal to spend all day every day studying as an oldfag and your brain starts to deteriorate after 25 anyway so it is OVER for me.
Right now I am posting this because I cannot focus on my job. I have been extremely depressed (unable to get up out of bed, can't focus, 0 motivation) now for months because I haven't done anything with my life and it's too late now.@LastGerman the degreepill is more important than the driverlicensepill. Imagine if you needed a license to BREATHE that is literally the same as the degreepill. A degree is basically a license to exist in the modern age and if you do not have one, you are actually subhuman.
Edit: added some whitespace because ppl are complaining.
Yes I know. I hope to get back to being on a distance Undergraduate Degree course & acquiring one. Then a post graduate.
theson said:Yet the reality is that if you actually put a little effort you could easily make a lot more money and garner more respect than me. It is fucking enraging that normalfags actually go through university barely passing with Ds and partying every week and then they get into the workforce and compete for the same job with me. Then in a year I get a tiny raise and the normie with the environmental studies degree is my boss. JFL.
commander_zoidberg said:I think you're confusing university degrees with being an insufferable cock sucking normie when it comes to a criteria for success.
The reason all these people have success is they are the typical schmoozing narcissistic normies who pal around with others of their kind and are able to climb the corporate ladder. Not because of their degrees but because people like other people like them. The reason you haven't climbed the ranks into the corporate world is not because of your education but because your an autist with a highly disagreeable personality and while the normies aren't intelligent or self aware enough to put their fingers on it they know you're face doesn't fit. They know you won't suck cock like they will they know you won't go along with the cancerous narcissistic office culture they have.
I don't have a university degree either and I have actually had a fair few jobs and I've been around the "office" environment which does tend to be populated by the people who have their degree in "applied bollocks" or "colouring in" or whatever and honestly. Why would you want to work in an office with these people? Do you have any idea how insufferable they are? You wouldn't be able to do it.
You wouldn't be able to bite your tongue at half the bullshit that the bosses spout.
You wouldn't be able to go around screwing people all day long. Are you a sociopath? I actually do have some sociopathic tendencies and even i struggled with some of the things i was asked to do with 1 job i had. Which is why i don't work there.
You don't fit in. What are you going to talk about these motherfuckers with? Anything you say will be used against you.
Oh and you want a middle management job? Even if you dump as much as possible on your underlings do you want to be working 80 hours a week? I've done that and some of my managers were putting in even more hours than i was. Do you really think a modest middle class salary, a Mercedes and a mortgage on some awful townhouse or fancy hipster apartment is worth working every waking hour?
You know I've done all sorts. At one point i did industrial cleaning. I did everything from gutters, jet washing bins, pavement, cleaning ponds and unblocking drains and it really wasn't so bad because i could clock out go home and enjoy myself without taking my work home with me. No one calls me to make things my problem. My days off are mine. Most of these normie cock suckers do hardly anything but work and if they're not working their schmoozing with their den of vipers at a bar or restaurant sucking even more cock and creating drama.
I've seen this shit up close.
The fact is my friends. We above all else are outsiders. That isn't our world. We're not suited for it. There are plenty of other things to do for a living you just have to go easy when it comes to spending money. Don't eat or drink out. Drive a shitty old Toyota. Fix your own shit. Live modestly. It's what i do.
This is Universe level IQ commentary.
It resonated with me a to an uncomfortable degree.

20? Are you in the US? Normally you need to be at least 21 after a 3 year undergraduate.
Good luck & congratulations.
