Thread regarding University of Phoenix layoffs

Just about anything can be learned via the internet in a short amount of time these days. Learning about astronomy and 15th century history

provides nothing useful. Pushing college education has been a way to manipulate people into thinking that they will have a better chance in life and have an edge over others if they do complete a degree. It is sickening how far from the truth this is. Community colleges and public universities are now in meltdown mode. It is not only the for profit industry. People are realizing that a 100k in debt is not worth the time, effort and frustration. What is the true value of learning about useless concepts and information which you will never apply in the real world. There is no value in obtaining a college degree. For the 1% club whose parents have pull and money to throw around already, it will give these people an edge amongst the other one percent. That is about it. College is simply not needed to work in a call center / cubical environment. This is where most will end up after college. Unless you are part of the 1% club and are becoming an MD, college is not needed.

Keep thinking your degree has value you call center jockey. Especially if the coursework you took was from this laughing joke. I won't even refer to anything being churned out of this paper mill as a degree. You will never be hired anywhere else. Maybe Wallyworld shucking corn filled dookies out of the ladies room. I wish you bad luck to come. Anyone representing this company has no morals.
