these days I'd say people who did STEM are equal to or more intelligent than people who didn't go to college/dropped out/tradeschool/etc and entered the workforce earlier, are more intelligent than people who graduated. the stupidest of the bunch are people who do unpaid internships.

a hell of a lot of intelligent people fell for the college scam before it became so obvious that the cost-to-reward is shit, and for the most part it only served to disadvantage them. they're typically still successful, but they would have been anyways with a half decade and no debt advantage. only a few years ago college didn't seem too bad.

in 4-6 years you can put a whole lot more impressive shit on a resume than a college degree, and get paid to do it. after your first big kid job, at most, your degree will probably never matter in an employment decision. if you have a real job and you need a degree your employer'll probably pay for your school lol. its 2018 if you think you need to shill out 50 grand to network with people who may or may not end up in your industry you're a chump. if you want to network with blue hair girls with he/him/they/them pronouns named Ayden who dont shave their arm pits and smell like rat bedding who have undetectable gonnorhea, who are going to end up working the poles on 5th avenue for the next decade then college campuses are great for you i guess. get a twitter and be sociable and work a job in the industry you want to be in. or get in a training program. read books. if you're too socially retarded for that college will never help you anyways.

yea cringe at unpaid internships. with so much potential slavery and mediocrity built into the system at this point with various cons (non STEM college being 1 of them) its amazing how they fill up all these unpaid internships lmao.

my college was paying what you would get paid. 25/hr was the minimum and some were at 35/hr
