The College Scam

[LevelUP]

Charlie Kirk recently came out with a new book called The College Scam.

Charlie Kirk claims only 5% of the population should attend college, and 95% should not.





Did Charlie Kirk get the idea for the book's title from a John Stossel video called The College Scam and ideas from another similar book written called The Case Against Education? Hmm.

This brings us to a recent article noting how the number of people attending college is declining.

Why Americans are increasingly dubious about going to college

So overall, I can understand some of the arguments against getting a bachelor's degree. However, the main arguments are usually the time and cost versus taking advantage of the hot job market, entrepreneurship, and other investing opportunities. After all, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are both college dropouts and made billions, so why not you?

Although when factoring in our Degree Forum community of hacking bachelor's degrees in 6-12 months, I would say 95% of people should be getting college degrees, considering it doesn't cost much time or money, and you can work at the same time, so you aren't missing opportunities.

To be clear, I'm against Charlie Kirk, John Stossel, and others that say you don't need a college degree.

Thoughts?
