How the universities manipulate and control us.

How the  universities manipulate us.
If you made up your mind to become a doctor, lawyer, CPA, engineer, then you have to go to college. But there are many of us who are entrepreneurs in some form and do not need 
4 years of listening to professors that never ran a business.
How do you learn how to run a business? Simple by running a business. 
I will discuss what a business student learns in college.  He or she learns how to pass tests.
If you take an economics course, you will learn  fancy terminology. 
You will read about complex cases that have little to do with the problems facing a budding entrepreneur.  An economics  course should start with how to run a lemonade stand, and then expand it to the next soft drink giant. No they have to start the class with some boring terminology which is difficult to understand. So the student learns to memorize the terminology in order to be able to pass the tests of which  he will forget what he remebered 
the day after the test.
Here is what a business student learns in an accounting class. Transactions  based on corporations.  Mergers, stock liquadations, repurchase of stock, etc.
Nothing to do with small business which is more important to learn.  Instead of showing students how to use accounting software like quickbooks they talk about theory.
To earn a degree a student has to take liberal arts courses. 
Well basket weaving has a lot to do with how to run a business.
You have to take english literature.  Here you will read novels based on some authors
fantasy , or perspective of the world. Actually I enjoyed Bradbury,and I also enjoyed reading spy novels.
But what does this have to do with running a business. 
Here is the problem. The universities and the public education system is run by people
who never ran a business in their life. They have read many books. Have a great vocabulary. But they have no common sense.  If they had common sense they would be running a business. The professors are the same type of people that have government jobs.  They know nothing about the working class.
For example, I majored in accounting and minored in music. I was having trouble with 
my grades in a music history class. I was working many hours to pay for my tuition and rent, etc. The professor one day motified me that I was in danger of failing the class.
He asked me, what is happening with your grades. I replied that I am working extra hours .
He replied, why do you have to work so much? What a putz I said to myself.
And from that day I took a whole different attitude about college.
I learned it had nothing to do with the real world. 
 So why do universities exist. What is their purpose?
They are nothing more than a business. They are run by people who can not 
make a living doing anything else but spitting out quotes and theories from books.
They live in one big book. You take their books away and they are naked unimformed people. The universities are interested in taking your money and thats it.
They exist to make a huge profit.  So in order for them to get your business they have to advertise that you meed a degree to get ahead,  and that  you need a degree to make over one hundred thousand dollars a year. It has been proven over and over again that the majority 
of rich people never went to college. They started a business at an early age and stuck with it and passed it on thru the family.
 So you might ask yourself what should I do if I am not a entrepreneur. I would recommend
going to a vocational school.  I have taken some classes in video editing at Sheridan Vocational School here in Hollywood florida. I learned more in that class then I ever learned
in my 6 yrs of university education.  I learned by doing. By making mistakes and asking questions. Not by listening to theory.  That is the only way to learn. You learn by making mistakes. However the universities teach us that if you make a mistake you will get a bad grade. They reward you for not making mistakes. When I was starting out as a pianist
I was afraid to play a wrong mote or chord. So on one gig, the sax player imformed me that he could not hear me. I was playing too soft. He said kid. if you sre going to make a mistake make it big and loud.  Now I understand what he said. 
If I had to do it all over again I would not  have went to college . Rather, I would have invested in a pizza shop, or in a subway, Mcdonalds, Burger king, etc. 
As far as my music side I would have continued taking private lessons of which I stopped 
because of college. 
    I heard this phrase my whole life, " you have to go to college to get that piece of paper."
Well I have two pieces of paper. A BA in accounting and a Macc masters in accounting.
Real life experieince also taught me what I should do with those two pieces of paper.
But I am afraid I will clog the toilet if I do that.
