These Damn College Commercials

[thebigbird!]

Im tired of turning on my tv and being told Im not doing anything with my life because Im not going to college or university. These commercials have gotta stop looking down on people because they dont have post secondary education. Im extremely happy with my life and I plan on NEVER going to any post secondary school. Anyone feel the same?

I went to school for a year. I want to go back but I need to save up more money. Sitting around and working shitty jobs isnt the way for me.

I used to think like that. Now I'm 31 and back in school. Shits a lot easyer then I remembered.

See now youre as bad as the commercials, you dont need to go to school for a good job... I have a great job no complaints. Dont just talk shit about jobs that dont require post secondary because people can work GREAT jobs and be happy without post secondary school

Iv had good jobs and bad jobs. Now its time for a career. Plus I get to learn some pretty fun stuff like working in a T.V studio, digital editing (Teleproduction/Multimedia major). Shoot I edit movies while I'm high for fun, and soon I'll get paid to do it.

Im a line cook, with no plans to become a chef. I like the amount of work and the intensity its a fun challenge.

I didnt post this topic because of the opportunities for a better life and whatnot that these commercials advertise, but they can easily get their point across not saying shit like "why dont you get up and do something with your life?" Theyre putting down a lot of people to make money and that shit is unnecessary.

That's cool that you like your job and are happy with your income. You just need to realize that not everybody would be happy with that job or that income. Personally, I find the vast majority of those types of jobs mind-numbingly boring. Also, my goal has always been to be have a net worth of over a million dollars before I'm 30. Therefore, university is likely a good choice for me. People just need to do what is right for them, there's no correct path. I think those commercials are mostly appealing to those who are working jobs they hate because they can't get a better job with their current skill set.

I understand where theyre coming from(commercial makers)But they could easily pursuede people without putting down a large amount of people in the mean time. I mean you explained it perfectly without saying that Im wasting my life by not going to school

Advertisements thrive on fear and self-consciousness.

Buy this cologne or you'll smell bad and no girls will like you!
Drink Budweiser or else you won't have a good time partying like the people in the commercials!
etc.

Such is life.

don't smoke weed...or youll have to get rid of all your belongings
