GET A JOB
<sewn>
why on earth would u go back to uni
<sad_plan>
because sometimes education is benefitial
<sad_plan>
a lot of places on earth, you cant even get a job without it
fultilt has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<midfavila>
sewn have you looked at the job market like ever
<midfavila>
lmfao
<midfavila>
or tried to get a job without at least a bach degree
<sewn>
sad_plan: oh fair point nvm
<midfavila>
most places won't hire you for even an entry level grunt work type job without a bach and two to four years of experience now
<midfavila>
but even then the pay is so low and expenses so high that it's not even worth it
<midfavila>
trades are the other slice in the same shit sandwich
<midfavila>
honestly kris_ if it's just to do stuff check out "open source society university" on github
<midfavila>
the name is a little cringe but the work is valuable
<midfavila>
basically it's a crowd-sourced set of curriculae for different subjects
<midfavila>
low or no cost
<midfavila>
honestly i've been doing more thinking on going back to uni and actually crunching some numbers and like
<midfavila>
especially with the way things are going in the world right now i can't earnestly say it's a good idea
<midfavila>
bc again costs are high and getting ever higher, jobs are getting scarcer, pay is getting lower, working conditions are degrading
<midfavila>
tuition is skyrocketing
<midfavila>
and with america being too high on its own supply global instability is worse than it''s been in a while
<midfavila>
the tens of thousands of dollars you would have to spend on uni would be better spent on a gun, ammunition, tools, and food, and the time better spent learning like
<midfavila>
basic agricultural
<midfavila>
basically just copy dylan lol
<midfavila>
i'll never say education isn't worth it, but i'll 100% say university isn't for most people at this point
<midfavila>
just pirate some books and spend a couple hundo a year taking individual courses
<midfavila>
if countries weren't building nukes and bomb shelters and you could still expect a decent life my tune would be different but
<midfavila>
alas
<midfavila>
ofc its not like any of it matters since we're all going to die by the time we're in our thirties because of food and environmental degradation so do whatever you want i guess
