You can tell this is an ancient meme because it prices college at 4 years at $9,000 per year instead of 5 years at $30,000 per year ๐Ÿ˜†

This is elitist trash mentality my guy. It's not that serious and you can gain life skills from anywhere. Happy you found it through the medium of uni, but lmao.

No, you really don't learn good critical thinking or argumentative writing from anywhere. This is precisely why most of the population can be tricked into voting against their own self interests. Furthermore, this shouldn't be seen as elitist, as this level of education should be available to everyone. The only reason it's not is the previous point I made.

That's just insanely retarded to say and why it's elitist to think you can only learn this from a college/uni. I guess literally every successful dropout never learned critical thinking, or self taught, or naturally skeptic, or literally any fucking human in the past where further education wasn't as readily accessible to the general population but still became renowned philosophers and inventors. "Sorry kids unless you spend borrowed money to indebt yourself for life you'll always be stupid unlike me" L

It's a predisposition to intelligence not that you had to pay for a glorified tutor. Shut the fuck up lmao.

Dumbass acts like he's never met the kids who go to college without learning a fuckin thing because they simply aren't intelligent people.

This isn't a universal experience that you just magically absorb a new profound understanding of the world by stepping over the threshold of the classroom door. All those liberal arts majors sure are critical thinkers bro.

My god, remove your personal bias and actually read the shit you say disconnected then tell me you aren't elitist as fuck. I'm done with this bad faith and menial retardation blinded by your own worldview. Scum.
