Is University a Scam?

View descriptionShare

Is university a scam? Rob talks about why he thinks university is at best outdated and at worst a scam in this episode. He shares why many people would be far better off not going to university at all, the alternatives to further education and the potential ulterior motives the government have for wanting as many people as possible to get a degree.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The average student leaves with 45k in debt, to earn 30k when they leave.
  • Students are sold a future that isn’t the reality. Most students will leave university with huge debt and in some cases a worse salary than if they hadn’t gone.
  • You can’t get the education you need at university about newer technology and online spaces such as AI and content creation.
  • There is still a need for universities for more practical courses, such as medicine.
  • Going to university is good for the system, it means you are in debt, pay them interest and pay them taxes. You don’t then have the freedom to create your own business.
  • Think about the ulterior motive for universities and colleges, especially when you consider education for things like medicine should be free as they serve the public.
  • It's not just a cost to students to attend university but frequently their family and parents too.
