Commencement Speakers are often One Last F-U on the Way Out
The University System is Fundamentally Broken in terms of teaching people to be successful… That part isn’t that unpopular of an opinion
The best Universities focus on research and bringing money in rather than teaching.
The system is funded off leveraging the future of graduates with tons of debt. Students trading away significant chunks of their future earnings for today.
A system where you pay a fuck ton of money. So much money at many places that if you spent it on a vacation you would be treated like a king. Just to be treated like an asshole student. The only person who will treat you like less than a pile of shit after spending that much is probably a Doctor, part of another fucked system.
A lot of the professional speakers they hire never graduated college and at best have “Honorary Doctorates”. A hodge podge of successful entrepreneurs, celebrities, and professional speakers.
I’m not saying it never happens but rarely is it an alumni with a success story lol
It’s like they intentionally pick people who didn’t fall for the trap of debt and were successful without going to college as one last fuck you on the way out. One last remember you chose to do this, you didn’t have to, don’t forget to pay your monthly student loan bill, good luck!
