honestly there is no reason to not cheat as much as you can get away with in college, especially if you're getting something like a business degree. There's no real stakes to learning what is taught in college because you end up learning more on the job anyways. If it were an option I think most people would choose to just jump straight into careers and learn there.

But obviously in serving the interests of capital, college under capitalism is not to educate people, but to discipline them into better serving capital. It acts as a filter so people can't just jump straight into careers and gain knowledge there, they must first prove they are worthy of being employed, prove they will be obedient and sufficient peons of the business. Idk what it is like in other fields, but my accounting degree was half becoming familiar with accounting terminology and basic practices, half learning the ideology of american business (freer the market, freer the people, the boss is always right, etc.).

And American college is even worse given how fucking expensive it is, locking the poorest people into the most precarious positions of wage slavery with little chance of escaping. And those who do go through college but are not from wealthy backgrounds are saddled with tons of unforgivable debt, essentially binding them to needing a certain level of income, pushing labor and wage negotiations even further in capital's favor. What are you gonna do, quit? You have a debt to pay! Can't afford to fall behind!

College is a fucking racket but it's one you're forced through if you don't want work at walmart your whole life and can't do trades. Nothing you learn there (in most degrees, certainly mine) can't be learned on the job, so might as well cheat as much as fucking possible and make sure you graduate.
