Do you think university is overrated?

maxwolfstein65 · 5 days ago · 4 replies · 71

I think so—not everyone graduates; not everyone truly knows what to study or what to do with their lives; and not everyone who graduates actually finds work in their field of study. There are many "filter" or filler courses designed specifically to prevent the majority of students from graduating—ensuring that most simply fail and never complete their degrees. Furthermore, many degree programs offered today are essentially meaningless, making them a complete waste of time. I’m not saying that university is useless, but there is a great deal that needs to be changed and fixed. If a university degree is absolutely essential for the career you intend to pursue, then it makes sense to study and earn that degree; otherwise, you’re just wasting time—time that you can never get back, and which could have been invested in something that would actually yield results or prove truly useful in your life. In my view, university is completely overrated.

Too many degrees from university/colleges don’t guarantee any type of job. That’s a big problem! I understand why some jobs need a degree, but others just don’t make sense to me. The trade schools need to be equally pushed onto graduating high school students.

I think College in general is overrated. Most of that information and more can be obtained for free, if you’re looking at any tech job they look at certs > college. The only good college imo is trade college and that’s because you can go there for free, whilst working for them to not only get the knowledge and nohow but also able to get experience under your belt. Everything else is a scam unless you live in a country where it’s free 🙂

No, it's not overrated as far as I'm concerned but it's just too expensive. If you can afford going to university please make sure you do because it helps so much when a real opportunity comes up.
