Go To College Dammit

[Rozner]

Fellow residents of the United States of America,

You may know about the current "recession" we are going through and it's only going to get worse. We may even be looking at another depression, guys. I can tell you why you need to go to college as soon as you fucking can.

If you may or may not know, colleges are not making money off your tuition. What they do with that money is they invest it in the stock market. In hard times like this, they can't make much money, they can't pay their professors as well. No, applying for college and getting in won't help with their money problems.

THIS PART IS IMPORTANT IF YOU'RE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL. Do well. DO IT. Colleges are more lenient to accepting smart kids who go to school rather than some "C" average student who skips class some of the time. Also, doing well means that you're more inclined to scholarships. Oh yeah, that reminds me, there will be less scholarships being given out, all because of our GODDAMNED ECONOMY.

Thirdly, something goes here, because lists sound better with some kind of third argument.

What I'm saying here is to do well in school, try your best to graduate college and do it now! You may have heard your parents, teachers or other important figures say this but I'm trying to get the point across. I may be a high school student, but this is still important to you as well.

Thanks for the advice. It's rare to see real discussion starters on the BBS. And me being in High School(9th) made me all the more instrested in reading it.

I dropped out of school in sixth grade, and am currently studying for my G.E.D. at a mall. I'm fucked like a good hooker.

Ha ha, you're really funny, you know? In fact, you are the EMBODIMENT of the word HILARIOUS. I'm serious, really.

Since I'm in 8th grade and top of my class I really have found it boring to learn anymore. I now know random facts that has even outsmarted Senior Student brains. Being at that I found that I really don't need to learn much more with English, History, Drama, and Arts. I need to learn more on Math and Algebra. And since I can't well stop classes that I'm taking I have lost faith in school.

But my sudden alignment in the BBS makes me want to be an Evil Politician of a Foriegn country preferably somewhere in Africa. So I can watc people and Babies die of AIDS, Malaria, and Guerilla tactics. So now I plan on going to college question is will my Mother working 2 jobs and making an income of around 40,000 dollars a year send her middle child to school and not her average first daughter?

Wow your so smart, something I could have never figured out by myself.

I wouldn't bother going to College because it's a scam, if you're not in the top 5 ranking you're not considered worth it at all. Honestly if anything you should be considered trade school, where you're actually GUARANTEED a job once you graduate. Also, all of it is hands on training, so it's twice as fun and you know twice as much than what a simple text book can describe.

So many of my friends a day are over stressed about paying College Debt's because they can't get a good job because they weren't the #1 student. Really College is a scam, if anything consider a Trade School or a Community College of some sort.

Now I'm not trying to discourage those who know they can be #1, but if you really don't think you have that kind of potential, don't waste your time, or money.

Some friendly advice.

Also I know I'm 17, and I know my knowledge of College is considered inadequate, but I recently watched a documentary on College being a scam, basically it said everything I said there. So either you can choose to shun my words of wisdom not only from just that show, but from those who have gone to College and are still working at a damn Dollar General then that's your choice, I'm only trying to help.
