Higher Education is a Waste of Money

Strongly disagree!? Its an investment

"I Did Not Waste My Time".

- Here& #39;s 7 reasons to the contrary

// Mini Thread //
1. Information Technology https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💻" title="Computer" aria-label="Emoji: Computer">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖱" title="Computer-Maus" aria-label="Emoji: Computer-Maus">

Okay...learning about databases and design boards are outdated

Yet, don& #39;t underestimate the ability to manage technology at a young age.

Look how much its influenced our lives

Some kids know more than most adults.
2. Essay Writing https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✍🏾" title="Schreibende Hand (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Schreibende Hand (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">

After college essays become redundant to a point, but conveying your point decisively is not easy feat.

DMs https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> quick writing

Emails https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> structured writing

Presentation https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> visual writing

Sales Proposals https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> Concise writing

Skillsets we pick along the way.
3. Social Studies

This should be a given... no?

Without the experience of socialing with all different types of personalities, quite frankly

You& #39;d have primitive social skills today!
4. Home Economics https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍛" title="Curry und Reis" aria-label="Emoji: Curry und Reis">

Some may think this was just a filler course or a doss lesson, but that& #39;s short-sightedness

Learning to cook healthy, wholesome food for you and your loved ones

Is generational

Many choose the easy option https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤳" title="Selfie" aria-label="Emoji: Selfie">

Don& #39;t be a lazy clicker

FEED YOURSELF!
5. Foreign Language

I know this sounds a little strange

But hear me out:

"Hola
Bonjour
Goddag
Nin Hao
Guten Tag
Zdravstvuyte"

If you can say "hello" in multiple languages, you can build an epic global network https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌐" title="Weltkugel mit Längengraden" aria-label="Emoji: Weltkugel mit Längengraden">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌐" title="Weltkugel mit Längengraden" aria-label="Emoji: Weltkugel mit Längengraden">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌐" title="Weltkugel mit Längengraden" aria-label="Emoji: Weltkugel mit Längengraden">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌐" title="Weltkugel mit Längengraden" aria-label="Emoji: Weltkugel mit Längengraden">
6. Physical Education https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⛹🏽‍♂️" title="Man bouncing ball (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Man bouncing ball (mittlerer Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧗🏽‍♀️" title="Kletternde Frau (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Kletternde Frau (mittlerer Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏋🏽‍♂️" title="Man lifting weights (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Man lifting weights (mittlerer Hautton)">

Fitness is so DAMN important

Both for mental stability and long-life

Don& #39;t take this life for granted

In 2020, 83% of Men and 72% of Women are obscenely overweight

These poor habits are inexcusable https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❌" title="Kreuzzeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Kreuzzeichen">
7. Sense of Achievement

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend"> The first time you get an & #39;A& #39;

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend"> The first time others start hating

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend"> The first time teachers notice you

That feeling is PRIDE https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤓" title="Nerd-Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nerd-Gesicht">
