Is College Still Worth It? The New Calculus of Falling Returns [pdf]
Look, I&#x27;m studying undergraduate philosophy with no intention other than why not. Would I say I could learn the material on my own w&#x2F;o college? Absolutely but I like the organized structure of college w&#x2F; professors, peers, etc. Am I getting into debt? A fair bit. Is it worth the trade off? I certainly think so. Will I say that five years from now? Most likely. Because here&#x27;s the thing: education as a means to an end is not what it&#x27;s all about, and so many of us subscribe to this fiction―to this warm stupor of society&#x27;s fictions―that we forget what it is truly about. College will always be worth it such that you have an endless curiosity or enjoy erring in the direction of learning which is deeply rooted into failing, or rather, not understanding, over and over again.
