Univer-shit-y Challenge

I used to think when I stepped my foot into this land that everything gonna be all right.
Modern city with all the elegancy, numerous high-tech facilities, even high class social life.
It's like in dream. All the things that you can imagine it's here.
I call it an "adventure"

Well I blame it all to hollywood movies. They make it so easy in the movie. Like anything can happened so easily in the end of the movie. Even in all crappy magz and commercials. All the rich guy with good looking face holding arm with a sexy-hot-skinny ass-big boop-model. That just made an image in my mind. An image that said if you are rich then you can do anything. You can buy happiness if you are rich. Now the question is "How to get rich?". Of course this silly question will lead to numerous answers if you ask different people, but I dare to bet my left ear and ball that most of the answer you got is this "Go to university, get a degree and find a job".

I was raised in a country that believe education is important to got a job. I agree with education is important, but I disagree if the reason is to got a job. Many people get lost in this situation. They don't know what to do after high school. Office won't hire you if you don't have bachelor degree. So the most reasonable act is to get a degree, even if you are not sure what course do you wanna take. They spend most time in uni wasting time and by the time they graduate and got their degree they don't know what to do next. They don't have skill to work. All they know is just bullshit theory that different in real life situation. In the end, there are so many graduates that got no job and they become unemployed.

This is the mistakes that everybody always do. University is not a VIP ticket to got a job. Keep that in mind. You can't assume that if you have a degree that means you can easily work in office, earn some cash and fucking out with all your money.
Let me make an example. Let just say one university got around 1000 students with different courses. If they are graduates in the same time that means there are gonna be 1000 new unemployed that seeks to be employed. Meanwhile the office that provides job is not as much as the demand for job. So in this case only half of them will be employed. The other half will be unemployed and find difficulties to continue living on.
That's the reality.
Not just a fantasy.

Now the question is "Do we still need to go to University?"
If you ask me I will answer "Yes we do"
Of course there are lots of benefit things from University.
But not to got a job.
I don't believe it's gonna make me smarter than someone who doesn't go to university.
And I will not do it as a VIP access to work with Donald Triumph to become a millionaire so I can fuck celebrity.
No, not for all those reasons.

Today I've just got a new lesson.
I just realize that university is not the answer to find a job. University is just a place to find experiences, friends, degrees and prestige for sure. Knowledge? I consider it as a bonus if I got it from here.

Like an old wisdom word said "Experience is a great teacher, experience is expensive", let just say that all my "adventures" here is experience and they are equal to all the tuition fees that my parent pay for me.
