Reply to comment by Eagle_Arm in UVM too expensive by Constant_Education_4

It’s not a direct correlation from college to middle management consulting jobs. I’m illustrating a point and there are a whole lot more of these jobs than you think.

There are also folks like my old boss with the PhD who started a moving company so he could kayak when the rivers were up. Or like the carpenter and ski patroller friend I know in Summit County.

You’re semi-wrong about the asking and getting. They’re not accepting my offers, lower than what they’re asking…and they’re ending up employed. The delta isn’t so great, either, to assume they’re not making stupid amounts of money for early-mid 20 year olds that can live anywhere they want.

You're illustrating a fake created point with no bearing on the outcome.

I'll also assume 99% of billionaires also have college degrees. That doesn't mean they are billionaires because of college.

I’d argue that they’re billionaires because they’re smart and educated. I’d also argue it’s much easier to obtain education when it’s your job to do so than a hobby in your spare time.

And a college degree has nothing to do with that.

I'd also argue when people attend college, that's their job and it's not just a hobby, no different than a billionaire
