Is Uni/College worth it?

[Orientalist]

Because only autistic nerd ricedicks like you care about grammar on an anonymous incel geomax coom forum

You're still essentially retarded if in any situation you confuse "your" and "you're". I reckon I was in elementary school when I accepted this rule of the English language and moved on with my life

If you just want to get your foot in the door as an EFL instructor you can do that with any degree. The gold standard in TEFL is the CELTA certificate which is offered at centers around the world but, just to get your foot in the door, any old rinky-dink TEFL certificate will do.

That said, if you want to work in good international schools, you're going to need a real teaching certification. This is where Britbongs are in luck. While there are online programs to help American and Canadian teachers get certified in their home countries, there seem to be a lot more online and distance PGCE programs targeted at teachers currently in Asia, and from what I can tell, they're just as respected as a qualification done in your home country.

If you still need a degree, why not look at doing it in Asia? Nottingham University has campuses in China and Malaysia. You could probably even make some money tutoring on the side even if it's technically not "allowed" on a student visa. Likewise, if you're already making good money while working remotely, why not just relocate to Asia while getting a degree through The Open University or some other British uni offering online courses?

Depends who you are, the skills you have, and your objectives.

For me it was not worth it because i was already printing $ and had a lot of hustle + tech skills.

If you decide not to go and hustle, expect to grind harder than any uni faggot until 25 years of age, but if ur not a retard the long term payout will be 50x. School will never "make you rich" (and it wastes lots of time)

Times it makes sense imo:

- Want an extended childhood (adult summer camp)? Uni
- Are you lazy and want to half ass most stuff? Uni
Strict parents with no NEET potential or a lack of finances? Uni
- Rich parents and want an "easy" life? Uni
- No personal skills (school teaches you no real world skills so stuff you self studied). Uni

If you don't go to uni expect to (and hustle):
- forget your hobbies
- disregard work life balance
- be isolated from society
- have trouble making friends your age
- think about money 24/7 for the next few years

DO NOT:
- Skip uni and work at walmart
- Skip uni and play video games in your moms basement
- Go to uni and expect to meet "intelligent" people
- Go to uni for muh "connections" (exception if you are in top 5, even then its questionable)

Having an uni education is a big halo and you get to extend your childhood in yiur prime years while your parents send you money and being proud of you. No reason not to do it. Do not listen to these alpha cope try hard hustlers who tell you to quit uni

 

[explorer7878]

also with uni you are more likely to have a safe job when everything else fails

 

[masonfrancis]

Exactly nobody talks about what you are going to do when you are 40-60

Or just make enough money that it doesn't matter at all. Instead you could have a BUSINESS and connections that will make you money no matter what. Have you even tried applying to jobs? Its basically all based on connections in the first place. Not "muh resume".

Most inportantly is just being fucking capable. You can lie about any degree no one verifies besides a handfull of companies that actually have the resources to do so, but if you can't put your money where your mouth is ur gone (in the interview or on the job). If you are incapable with a its Ova for you, degree or no degree.

While they WASTE your inheritance and also their own money (if you learn nothing, hate it, or don't progress your goals).

You can retire by 30 if ur not a retard (the "system" makes that impossible before 50 tho.)

Getting a degree is still a good option, just because you succeed in business doesn’t mean others will dude.

You can say the same about jobs from uni... You realize that right. No connections ur not gonna get a good job... I'm not telling no one to go, just dismantling the propaganda they use to sell their degrees for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

- Fear Mongering
- Sexual Advertising
- Prestige & Exclusivity
- Information is free and they pretend they have some genius teaching method

It's all nonsense to sell their degrees. Don't go in expecting any of this shit. But it has it's utility.

You will not graduate and have people busting down your door to give you a job.

It's not 1970. It's more like time and space to think, extend ur childhood and figure out what you wanna do in life.

Yeah i do agree, i speak to many people getting degrees and they are just getting it out of fear, but most people on this forum are getting degrees to go teach English in China,Korea etc..
