this is going down in history as the dumbest post you've ever made

i agree with your flawless reasoning  

More teens need to post;
Not adults who still play Graal.

Adults should post because they've gone through it already.

Better to get people who've experienced adolescence and compare it to later stages in life rather than people who are still in adolescence and don't have anything to use as a reference point.

The biggest, and worst pressure of a teen is the pressure to achieve a higher education and put themselves in massive debt for a piece of paper.

Woah. I seriously have doubt you know anything about the significance of going to a good college. Teens, like myself, should strive for colleges that are very well known and very intellectual schools. Not only will their field of interest be WIDELY expanded, their chances of getting a job is also increased. Who would be most likely picked if two people apply for the job but the only huge difference between them is the college they went to? Lets say one went to a community college and the other a university? The university one would be picked or at least have a better chance. This piece of paper that you inferably treat as just a normal piece of paper that has no significance what so ever actually does matter. This paper proves their knowledge and dedication to their field. Im sorry, but again, jobs will not pick those who have a very low degree. Teaching for example, takes a high degree. Its very well true that you most likely will be in debt, but with a good degree and a well paying job, will help pay for this debt. To achieve better in anything is a POSITIVE pressure on teenagers. If teens shouldn't be pressured to do better, should they be pressured to do worse?

As a side note, if you think that college is not worth it or the degree of having a doctoral or bachelor is not relevant to having a good life then you can certainly try and take the route of some famous and rich people who didnt go to college. Again, thats only a few small percentage that actually make it down that route.

Do you know College wasn't a big thing before this generation? Your parents, and your grandparents could get a job without a degree, and still manage to live a pretty decent life. It wasn't until this generation that they started pressuring kids to get degrees. Also, do you think if your parents went to college they were in debt for the rest of their lives?

Let's not forget that even if you get a degree, the job market is so saturated that it doesn't mean you'll actually get a job.

I'm not saying degrees are useless, but it's been practically commercialized. Money money money.

The degree is not the importance when deciding your future plans, the importance falls under the major you decide to pursuit. Teaching doesn’t require a high degree, its actually one of the easiest ones to get. I believe it’s the liberal arts major which mainly consists of general education (talking about k-12 teachers) and the pay aint that great at less than 50k a year on average. The degrees that pay are the ones in medicine, law, and STEM careers for the most part. History and art majors are probably the worse ones at the moment (pretty much worthless).

1. Im almost certain generation x spans over 30 years. I also believe education was strongly emphasized in the later parts of generation x.
2. With the increase in companies sending their manufacturing to sweatshops around the world and the advancement in technology that is no longer the case and that’s why education is emphasized.

Unless you go for those hard majors.

You can thank the recession for making people realize this.  

GOAT, law is going to **** as well. Lawyers can't find jobs. Not to mention nobody is doing STEM degrees. Everyone goes for these bull**** business degrees or they "follow their dreams" (which is absolute BS now a days). All these damn history, art and music majors are useless it's a shame really.
