If you are planning a college major, then heed this post!
Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?
In addition, to the above every college degree devalues every current college degree.

Uni and colleges are worthless nowadays, not to mention the fact that feminists and sjw have infiltrated these places with their psychological suicide bombs and sissy ass safe spaces.
If you live in a city its the perfect time to start your own dog crap cleaning business, people don’t feel like cleaning up their crap filled yard after a winter of letting the s~~~ monster outside. So here you are with $100 invested in cleaning supplies, cleaning folks yards for 50-100 bucks and pop. Plus it’s all cash. A friend of mine made $7500 for a month of work one spring. The key to making money is doing s~~~ other people won’t or can’t.
I appreciate both sides of this coin. I got my university degree in the early 90s and it has stood me in good stead, but I will admit it was at a time when so many of society’s ‘bubbles’ were still inflating and employment prospects were good. The worth of my degree had not yet been diluted by the ‘McDonaldisation’ (corporatisation) of the university sector. I’ll admit I wouldn’t swap my adolescent years with today’s millennials, but I admire how so many adapt to the changing times.
In Australia, the percentage of the population enrolled in some form of higher education more than doubled from 1982 to 2012 (Source: http://grattan.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/816-mapping-higher-education-2014.pdf )
In contrast, employment prospects and the labour force participation rate peaked in 2010 an it would appear many of the ‘bubbles’ my generation took for granted are starting to pop –
Unfortunately when employment prospects are weak, some people see higher-education as an option to kill four years, sign-on for Austudy (welfare) and stop Centrelink hassling them. Despite the burden of student-debt, it’s a particularly attractive option for single mothers, especially when their youngest is in primary school and the welfare agency (Centrelink in Australia) starts asking them to consider doing at least a part-time job (oh, the inhumanity of the golden uterus having to do some work). It’s seen as the easy option and many drop-out before ever graduating.
I could be selfish and not give a rats-arse about the next generation, but I have not become that jaded yet.
I did find the American documentary ‘Ivory Tower’ about the topic of the university / college ponzi scheme quite an interesting watch –

Looks like computer science is in demand but the catch is that there is a massive amount of continuous learning once you actually do get in the field. Maybe, if you are very smart, getting a master’s in engineering is the sweet spot. But there are people in this world who are actually passionate about living and breathing computers so maybe if you do not mind learning a lot of stuff that might get outdated every time, computers is the best bet for you. Just my opinion.
