minus-squareAniki@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down1·4 days agoi mean that makes sense. why would you invest your life energy into studying, if it’s clear enough that it will with a very high likelihood never pay off later in your life?
minus-squareAnn Archy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·4 days agoThat’s why paid tuition is such a scam. You WANT people to study things that interest them regardless what it is. It teaches you how to think, it teaches you diligence and critical thinking and grows you as a person. I don’t want to live in a society with a bunch of dumbfucks just because their parents couldn’t afford to put their children through college. There is so much more to education and learning than potential future profit, it’s about creating a healthy, liveable society. No wonder you get trump voters and vote abstainers when they never were taught how to use their brains and why that is important.
