is education real worth it in HK or anywhere else in the wordl? is it worth getting yourself in debt?
I've went to many interviews and more than what you have, yours skills, your work, they put emphasis on your degree, it's like it's an entry ticket, like they see nothing until they see a degree from you, what's with that? it doesn't matter if you are highly skilled at what you applied for through self teaching but they would rather see your degree first.
i've seen people who are teachers or hired teachers with degrees but have terrible grammar and spelling mistakes which comes across as a shock to me since i never went to college but i know i can spell better than them, (this post not withstanding).
i'm just curious, is it a mentality in hk or all aroudn the world that when you compare between 2 indivduals what you will see first is their degree than their ability or what they offer. is it really worth getting yourself in a huge debt from a collge education and learn still nothing from college since their teaching sucks, mostly in HK anyways and i've dropped out twice after seeing how bad the teaching is and dropping thousands of dollars when I'm learnign nothing. I learned more on my own through library books than from colleges in hk.
so, please kindly explain to me why this is, is this only a state in hk or all over the world. it just infuriates me seeing all those kids going to college coming out with degrees and yet they can't spell properly or correct their grammar. i don't get it, do colleges even teach or are they there to get young people in debt?
Kindly explain to me the value of college/education and a degree.
discuss.
