School Is For Losers

The reason why I am adamantly anti-school is because I truly believe that its bullshit. There’s no reason why we need to spend 1/3 of our lives sitting in a boring classroom to prepare us for the world. We are overeducated as a nation.

Idealistically, the point of school is to create smart intelligent people who will be beneficial to society. However most people are not smart and intelligent. In fact most people are downright stupid. So then what’s the point of making them go through the entire educational system? The point of making everyone go to school is so that the small percent smart kids can get discovered and go on to become successful members of society. So what about the other 90% of stupid kids? They have to suffer through the school system without getting anything in return. So basically we make everyone suffer through the educational system just so that the smart kids can get weeded out.

Another part of the educational system, which I am adamantly against, is College. Yes we need doctors and lawyers. But there’s no reason why they have to waste 4 years of their lives in undergrad learning about sociology and anthropology. It’s a waste of time. College is also a waste of time and money unless your going to major in the business field. Certain majors such as anthropology, sociology, and philosophy are pointless. What’s a major in sociology going to do for you? I never met a sociologist before and I’m pretty sure the philosophy business died out about 500 years ago. I’m not sure how profitable these degrees are. In my opinion people should go out into the workforce after 8th grade. I’ll even settle for 10th (let them grow a bit more in physical stature). The only thing that high school and college does for you is to train you to cheat the system and take the easy way out. It teaches how to cheat and be deceitful. (at least from what I’ve seen in my experience).

You may be wondering why I’m attending college if I’m so against it. The only reason why I’m currently in college is because it’s become a sociological requirement. If more people from my background didn’t go to college then I wouldn’t. I’m not willing to be the first pioneer (the Martin Luther king of anti-education), however I will write about it like I’m doing here. Let me tell you this. I am not an ounce smarter after attending college. It was a waste of time and I only did it because I had to. I never understood those kids who go to 50 thousand dollar a year colleges. Unless you’re a straight A student and your going to eventually get into Harvard Law then it is the biggest waste of money. Instead of giving away the 50 G’s a year to a college, wouldn’t you rather want to invest it. Over the course of your 4 year college education you will have spent 200 thousand dollars in school. Wouldn’t you rather take that 200 G and build yourself financially with that money instead of giving it away? Instead of going to NYU for 50 thousand a year, go to Queens for 4 a year and put the rest of that money in your pocket.

And to all those who say “well I go to college because I like learning and education and knowledge”. To that I say: watch a fuckin documentary on whatever topic your interested in. you don’t need to take an in depth course which delves into a topic rigidly, and tests you on it, and make you write pain in the ass papers about it. If I’m interested in something I watch a documentary on it or I wikipedia it. I don’t sign up for a course that’s going to end up being a pain in the ass burden for me.
