The document reflects the author's disillusionment with the traditional college education system, citing the documentary 'The College Conspiracy' which critiques the notion that good grades and degrees guarantee job opportunities. It highlights the reality that many graduates struggle to find jobs in their fields, questioning the actual value of a college degree in today's economy. The author advocates for self-education and skill acquisition outside of college as a more viable path to success.

2. Being that I am a college drop out and many are, I decided
to see what exactly “The College Conspiracy” is. The
documentary in a nut shell was discussing how we as a
society have been told throughout our entire educational
careers that good grades lead to a better college/university
which in turn will eventually lead to corporate opportunities.
That’s what we were all told am I right? I know I was told that
not only by my parents but by my peers as well. Let’s just say
that didn’t happen for me in fact after I dropped out I
noticed their were very little corporate opportunities and it
wasn’t because of my career choice but because how the
economy is today.

3. As the documentary went on, it then described how the
government uses college education to in debt most
members in our society today. At this point I began to think,
how many individuals actually receive degrees and end up
in their chosen field? Better yet how many individuals
actually obtained a J.O.B (Just.Over.Broke) after
graduation?

5. It sucks that you invest so much in
to your future just get shut down
by employers because they may
think your degree is not important
enough to matter so you’re pretty
much assed out. You have no
guarantee of finding a job.
You have no guarantee of any
kind of return. Consider over 70%
of college graduates don’t have
jobs in their own fields, the value
of college is questionable.
Anyone, with or without college,
can be trained to do a job.

6. Much of it depends on the
willingness of employers. If I
would have saw the College
Conspiracy documentary years
ago I honestly believe that I
would not have attended
college for the simple fact that
the documentary speaks so
much true in my eyes and I feel
that college is not necessary
for many.
Some of you may still think you
need college but take this into
consideration before you make
the same mistake I made.

7. I wish I could say you’re investing in acquiring a skill if or
when you attend college, but many skills can be acquired
without having to step foot in a college environment.
Acquiring skills by your own power can be immensely
satisfying, especially when you find a way to earn as you
learn. You won’t make much at first, but as you get better
you’ll make much more. Sure beats a mostly static
income and having to slowly pay off debt.

8. I have seen so many opportunities and people that claim
they can make your life different or putting the next
upcoming marketer down which brings me to another point;
The key to a great con man is exposing another con man,
and then offering the victims your own scheme as a
solution to their misery. Society should have taught you
this growing up, but you went to college . . .

you do is your empowerment and that is what I got from
the College Conspiracy documentary.
