Merovingian said it best

Gramsci's idea that there really is no choice is a tough argument to argue against. Especially now that I have been thinking about the thousand situations that you are put in. One of the large situations is the aspect of college. College is a huge red flag in the option of choice.

In the real world, you must go to college. You must go to college, you must go to college. To have a decent job that pays somewhat well, you must go to college. Then I start asking myself, where's the choice? If I don't go to college, there is no way I'm getting a decent job. Besides doing construction and working real hard with my hands until I'm 60. There is no way around it, unless you are extremely talented in some field, and I mean extremely talented. They give you the option of chosing your college, but is it really a choice? When I think about it, it all comes down to money. I can't even go to a college that specializes in the field that I want to go in, because of money. It's a system that wont allow people to move up because of money.

If I go into a job interview and do not have a degree and another guy goes in and has one, even though I may be more qualified and have better potential then that guy, he will get the job. All because he managed to go to the same place for four years straight. I'm not saying that college doesn't help, it definitely opens your eyes up to certain things and you definitely learn more but that should not be the only reason why some people get jobs and some don't.

Also the high paying jobs, look for students that graduate from prestigious colleges, and most times those colleges cost more then fifty thousand a year. Some kids that could excel in those schools can't go because they can't afford it. So the big jobs only hire from these schools, and it keeps sort of a cycle going. The rich kids get the rich jobs and the poor kids get shit! I'm sorry I shouldn't have cursed there. But this all reminds me of the conversation of Merovingian and Neo from The Matrix Reloaded Morpheus: "Everything begins with choice."Merovingian: "No. Wrong. Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without."
