Universities a waste of time and money

Okay, let’s talk for a moment about universities. As much as anything else, universities are elaborate money-making ruses coupled with baby-sitting and social silliness. They’re not needed. If you don’t believe me: Look at how many university-degree youngsters can’t find jobs better than washing dishes. There is never any money-back guarantee from universities, as is required with other services and products. Universities get their money, they then channel youngsters through the turnstiles. Doesn’t matter, in Thailand, whether students cheat on exams or skip class. Many of the most successful business people never graduated from a university – just three of many examples: Bill Gates, Ben Franklin and Steve Jobs. Universities are giant money-sucking organisations, and Asians glam on to them; hook, line and sinker.
