Degree that’s just an excuse to network becomes obsolete with online classes. More at 11.
And if you go to a "elite" university, literally everything is just about networking. You probably learn more about the invisible webs of power that funnel people around than anything else.
It’s not an excuse, it is the degree’s worth. Getting a MBA from Harvard isn’t about what’s in the textbooks or even what the professors say, it’s about their networking events where a bunch of rich, connected Harvard alumni show up and you try to lick their assholes hard enough to give you a job or startup money.
But seriously, we need to abolish student debt and higher education must be publicly funded.
I took a business minor. The only class that isn't complete bullshit was accounting, and even then it's just math with bullshit rules. The other classes? All bullshit. The only thing you could ever possibly get out of those classes is networking.

Hello, Master of Accountancy here. This is correct.
I mean, some accounting will still be useful in a command economy
my major was computer science, which was far more useful but i don't know if i'd outright reccommend it. to be honest, i don't know what i'd reccommend. the only people i went to school with that seem happy with how their lives are going now were rich going into it.
Same, feel like I just chose wrong with a civil engineering 5-year masters, too much math and boring people. Idk what I'm doing, at least I'm not american so school's free
too much math and boring people
as a MechE that's about to graduate next year this is the best summary of engineering I've ever heard anywhere. All I want to do is be done with this shit and go work on trains goddamnit
Lol really? Mine is more of a architecture/infrastructure thing which I find really interesting but most of the classes are not. And I miss my fellow gamers and comrades from high school the people in my class seem to be libs, borderline alcoholics and gymbros and I've even heard gay and Jew (in swedish) used as slurs which would've been unheard of in my last school. Not just personally boring but the fact that these are our future engineers
would you recommend a bachelor's in compsci/data science or a postgrad degree?
ive had a bachelors in comp sci since dec 2018 and still dont have a job in my field. basically, you gotta network or get good grades. both are very difficult if you also need to have a job while in college. you also gotta hope that there's no major distractions (such as a new relationship with a wonderful woman) your first year on the job market, and no deadly global pandemic the second.
god damn it is there any good degree i can get that isn't completely soulless
eh, this mostly lines up with what was in my minor classes, keeping in mind that it didn't go far with them. marketing was clearly the most useless one, the teacher was previously some major corporate ghoul and by the end of the course i clearly felt it shouldn't be studied as a science. like if you got a reasonably sized group of people, made sure they weren't sociopaths, gave them a reasonable budget, a good product, and they were all people who knew the industry the product was in reasonably well, anything could be marketed well. like go pick a dozen dudes who post on gamefaqs, make sure they don't kill animals, give them a ten million dollars and they could probably make any game into a hit.
I had to take an international business course for IR undergrad. Our professor brought in former students as guest speakers. Two were struggling with loans, one outright said MBA was her biggest mistake, and one said it helped her to be a successful business owner. The prof accidentally let slip that her parents were angel investors.
Can we get them to be like, socialist ghouls? Like, psychotically devoted to giving everyone healthcare?
