I watched a documentary a few months ago on Zoomers skipping college to go to this social media influencer house. It was kind of like a training and networking camp. Social media degrees are more geared toward those who want to manage social media accounts for organizations.

How do you get rich? By digging for gold or selling the shovels?

All you have to do is have a house, take in 10 people at $10,000 per month, and that $100,000 per month to train them to be so-called "influencers."

What are these kids buying? An experience. A chance to get rich being an influencer. (failure rate probably 75%+)

$10,000 is a lot of money, but so is $250,000 for an MBA.

Education is gambling because people are gambling that the time and money they spend on education will pay off. Rachel83az made the point earlier in the thread that "there is a huge, huge difference between going to a Liberal Arts college for $100k and getting a Liberal Arts degree from UMPI for less than $3k."

The woman who's making money off of them doesn't have a degree in social media marketing, and she works independently. The degree didn't exist back in her day. Social media marketing degrees are intended for those who want to work for companies' social media and marketing departments or for those who want to do freelance work for companies. You don't go to college to become Andrew Tate. Andrew Tate's appeal comes from from being dumb, uneducated, and vile.
