basically,
college in general is a privilege.
so why should i take it.

even with the background of decent elementary and secondary
schools to provide the needed background requirements for entry;
if one is lucky enough to be born in neighborhoods
that make it difficult for one not to drop out-even as early as the 4th grade, as with one guy i met. This guy was in the 20s mind you. Not our grandparents' generation.
the background of decent upbringing too, is a privilege.

granted, a local state college is not Yale, Harvard, or any of those others
that produce snobs and twits that think that so much think they deserve so much of the planet's resources that they will actually kill to defend it.
witness forcing other countries to accept the legal structures called corporations, call it the "free" market, and construct some sort of philosophy to try and justify it. the "corporation" is not the same as 'making a snowball and selling it to someone'. a corporation, that is made of laws, is actually government interference in the economy - if defending the corporation is part of one's philosophy that makes one believe controlling so much of the earth's resources/wealth is only "natural" and government should not interfere with it.
the corporation is a historic tool of imperialism/colonialism to extract wealth in the name of the king.

so, maybe if i went to one of those "prestigious" schools, i'd more likely be in the ruling class. but they are always looking for servants; people to manage their money at the banks, their newspapers while having the same assumptions they do (such as great concentration of wealth is only natural, or those noted above corporations), and even their imperial grand strategies(note today's neo-cons, or liberals that have corporations butter their bread).


to Pepe:
nothing you wrote upset me.
i'm not of the ruling class, nor am i wishing to enter it.
so i do not understand the projecting thing.
but, the US does indeed have a ruling class.
even though there is no queen or nobility present.
though we are brought up not to recognize it.
yes, you might actually say indoctrinated.

college is about getting an education,
and/or about job training.
but it is also used to justify a system that is...
not entirely just

that stuff is basically
why i have not wanted to get a bachelor's degree.
it started out simple, but only got more complex or wordy over the years.
or maybe that's all just made up so i can
justify wanting to just hang out and play video games instead?
something i actually find little time for these days.

i'm not saying it SHOULD be a privilege, just that it IS - currently.
and continues privilege onto the next generation.
