College as a Cult

Along the lines of the scandal where rich celebrities were paying millions to get their children into college (which behooves the question - why not just give your kids the MONEY because it's well beyond the worth of college), it's becoming apparent college has morphed into something beyond what it's possibly capable of providing students.

Status
Prestige
And as I like to call it "the economically identical nature of a wedding."  AKA a birthright.

Here is yet another example of where people have lost their collective minds legally destroying their families just so their snot nosed, trust fund baby kids and pursue worthless degrees that will never pay nor provide their kids with viable careers.

Children and their parents have become completely untethered from reality when it comes to college, forcing me to conclude that college is merely a cult, a religion, where worthless, pointless children go on to extend their adolescence, as well as to give themselves some kind of agency or purpose in life (without having to work for it of course).

If you love your children, or you yourself are a student please kick your brain back into reality and buy this book.  It's a critical conversation America needs to have about the merits of college education and is a way to ensure you do not destroy yourself financially through the lies of college.

One Chicago-area woman told The Wall Street Journal that she transferred guardianship of her then 17-year-old daughter to her business partner last year. While her household income is greater than $250,000 a year, she said, she and her husband have spent about $600,000 putting several older children through college and have no equity in their home, which is valued at about $1.2 million, according to the property website Zillow. She said she has little cash on hand and little saved for her daughter’s education.

All that money and no sense.
