    i hate everything here, from the ridiculous price to the guy treating a degree like a simple matter of value exchange

    it’s like even the pursuit of knowledge has become just a tool to help or hinder your survival under capitalism and i really fucking hate it

    “a degree is like a car” no it fucking isn’t??

      The goal of capital is to commodify everything. Neoliberalism is the speeding up of this force.

      It’s treated like one by institutions even though there is much more value you can gain in terms of education and personal growth. In many fields, they don’t give a shit what you actually learned at college and if it applies to the job.
