I feel compelled to comment again.

With regard to my other post, and if you are still in high school, you should listen up, because this ties into the deep politics of the "schooling" system.

See, as a student, you are in essence, a kind of slave. You basically are borrowing money, allegedly to get an education, but really it's to purchase a credential. You're expected to invest a lot of time in these institutions, and you do, as well as money, which is also a form of time crystallized. And then you leave, and probably never come back. So all it really is just another waypoint where you are drained of your youth, time, money, energy, and given some sort of abstraction, a piece of paper with some words on it. But then people in the "real" world will tell you it's all worthless anyway, but paradoxically will discriminate against you if you don't have one, not because it means anything, but because it's expedient for them as a means of weeding out undesirable candidates for jobs, wealth, and advancement. Plus they had to do it too, and most of them really resent the experience, as well people who try to get out of it. So it's a crabs in the bucket phenomenon.

But anyway, the institutions take advantage of the transient nature of students. The students are just passing through. They aren't building anything. It's just a wealth transference from young to old, plain and simple. That's why it is so hard for students to push back. By the time they figure out how they are getting fucked, they are already gone and it's too late. But the careerist bureaucrat wealth-extracting mandarins will still be there for a decade or two, and they are all interchangeable anyways. So think about THAT aspect of it before you enroll. You are better off just learning about investing and building wealth on a shoestring than trying to buy your way to a job.
