Why It Is Dumb To Think School Is Scam . by bodybuilder: 2:48pm On Jul 18, 2021
It's not like everyone that went to football academy turned out to be a rich pro footballer, or went to acting school became a Hollywood star, or attended a fashion academy became the new Virgil Abloh. So, why do you think you must make it big because you attended university, thereby calling school 'scam'. For every Wizkid there are hundreds of thousands possibly millions of aspiring musicians that never turned millionaires through their music. For every Marcus Rashford there are millions of young footballers that won't make it pro. Y'all making look like you can have it easier in other fields. For me going to university is the easiest legal way to earn a living. You have better chances of being rich as engineer,doctor, etc. than a musician or footballer.

By the world need academics to solve real problems. The world needs engineering, medicine etc. No matter how rich you become through any other field, we need engineers to build roads, bridges, airplanes, electronics. etc.
We need chemists, physicists, etc.

I can bodly tell you that there are more wealthy engineers than musicians in Nigeria.

Sense! People suffer from survivor bias so much. They don't see many living in the boulevard of broken dreams

I agree with this 100%

At least, get a degree and a MSc before calling School a scam.

Na person wey no get money dey call school scam.
If you are rich, whether you attended any school or not. Your wealth will bring you closer to those that are educated and you will know why school/education is important in life.

Anyways, whether you go school or not. Check out my signature and you will have a testimony to show your people.

no long talk......

The country my brother, na the country dey cause this mentality so. Too many graduate out there with no or little job. Even the ones wey still struggle learn skill acquisition are not likely having it green because of little or no capital to establish something. The ones wey manage start up something their business is struggling to the core because of harsh economy. The ones wey come manage start well government one use wicked tax finish them and cost of running the business is challenging. So your reason am cheesy

School is not normally scam. WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS THAT NIGERIA IDEA OF SCHOOL OR EDUCATION IS A SCAM. It is bereft of practical benefits or application to the Nigerian society. Hundreds of universities producing ignorant and incompetent graduates in the very disciplines they majored in.

Our idea of school is a big, a very big and mighty scam. The country practices a 6-3-3-4 system where you have to be schooled for 16yrs to be called a graduate with hopes that you should be gainfully employed in the society.

We basically went through a lot for 16 yrs. Waking very early in childhood and shuttling between cities as young adults during our university days. For what reasons exactly? The certificate.

The certificate is the government and society's surety that we have acquired requisite skills.

Think of being an apprentice under someone, learning one skill for good 16 years? Just think of it. Imagine that you have figured out the nitty gritty to be entrusted with a project after the duration of your training but you are finding it very hard to get a graphic on the so-called "career"? Or not enough projects to go round after that duration of time?

Would you not just believe that the job isn't meant for you? Something is wrong somewhere?

The society (you and I) has been thoroughly scammed that what works elsewhere can be replicated here. Even more is our employer, the derelict government has not made us yield the dividends since the almagamation of this country in 1914.

You shouldn't learn a skill for 16 yrs and struggle to make ends meet. Period.

I know it happens in most countries too. Even tier one counties. Less than 2% of coutries enjoy the dividends of what we call education


Or look at it this way, if the general trend is heavily skewed towards a particular direction, we call that the norm.

In the same vein, since only a tiny fraction of people benefit from education compared to the total number of the schooled, we could confidently say education doesn't work here. A western construct. A scam. Since after all, a lot of people do not directly benefit from it after rinvesting so much. It is not very different from MMM
