What people are saying
“Any degree that end in "... Studies" isn't a real degree.”
“Not only is college a scam, but they also make students take mandatory courses that have nothing to do with real life situations, and rack up thousands of dollars in loan debt.”
“HS graduate here. I’ve made over 100k many years. I work less now and make 70k. Working a menial but enjoyable job. With no college debt”
“Communications degree here and unemployed for years. I feel so betrayed by the system, I wish someone like you had told me this before I chose a degree that seemed "interesting".”
