This is why I am unsure about going to uni. I don't want to go into debt for something that I am not sure I can pay off. It just seems too much of a gamble.
Your situation, however, is quite normal. I know countless people who have went to a college or uni (whatever) and could not find work in their field. To me, it's absurd to think that you could immediately find something for you, and make the money the Internet says you will.
I don't know.. It just seems like a marketing thing to me, and a way to keep many people in debt to their governments.
If I do decide to do a schooling type of thing, it would be for me, not for work. I would love to learn math, so I can build things using calculations. Basic math for me, is really difficult, so I would love to learn it. I would also like to learn a trade. But, that's just me.
I think usefulness should be priority, not the size of your bank account, or recognition as a graduate.
But good luck out there, the world can be quite bitter =]
I swear to god man everything you said is true. The gamble of getting a degree and in turn debt just for a job sounds like too high of a price. I could pay like a years worth of rent with the amount of money it costs for me to go to university for a semester. That part though that you mentioned about schooling just being another way for your government to control you is absolutely right. I mean god, the American government really doesn't care about it's own people. Why are we so broken as a nation?
Anyways, I just want to say bravo, cause honestly what you're saying right now is what a lot of people are probably thinking. The worries and anxiety of college and your future, the fear of debt hanging over your life, just all of it. You went to school to go to more school just for a job that you might not even get, and in the end you're left in a $100,000 hole.
Is it normal that I am a university grad but cannot find any work?
