"It's not unemployment if you pay tuition" LOL.

Back when CollegeHumor was actually about college and graduate school.

I've watched this before, being fresh from undergrad and working in a bank. It made me laugh. I decided to come back and watch it again now that I'm a graduate student. Made me cry.

Real colleges: "Come give us your youth, your happiness, and your first born child in return for a $50k receipt" *award winning smile*

"Growing up, I based my self worth on my ability to get good grades.
Without a report card, I'd have a nervous ****ing breakdown."

I can't tell you how accurate this is to some people.
Bloody Hell.

I remember watching this video when I was a kid still in high school. I laughed thinking how this wouldn't be me, I wouldn't need grad school. I'd be a STEM major and have great job prospects. Well, I'm finally a rising Senior in college with no job offers I'm god damn terrified. I don't care if it puts me deeper in debt, I'd rather be broke than a sad adult in the real world. SAVE ME GRAD SCHOOL, YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE.

Yes, we all know those people. And we roll our eyes.

On the other hand, there are people who are told they are unemployable in their field unless they get a Masters or PhD.

Grad school is for those who have very specific interest in their career. 

[laetrille]

Many kids go to college for the wrong reasons or because they are told that is what they must do to survive in the real world. Grad school is for people who truly have a thirst for knowledge and strive to enter a career not a job. A job is something you would drop if you hit the lottery. A career e.g. doctor, scientist, economics ext..., is a "job" that you would never think about quitting, in fact if you won the lottery you would use the money to expand your career. I will go onto grad school and I will love every step of the way.

"Growing up, I based my self worth on my ability to get good grades. Without a report card, I'd have a nervous f*cking breakdown!"

I thought I was the only one😂

[RIFLQ]

"Because if we were good at life, we wouldn't need more school!" That last dude is literally high..

[Mandraquex]

I wish grad school was like this... I wouldn't be praying for death on a daily basis... fyi, not suicidal, just super stressed out.

[nonyabeeznuss]

I love it when these people say stuff like "oh you were military, thats cool, I got into college." Then I laugh because theyre 23 and $80, 000 in debt, while I'm actually getting paid to attend. I mean I still hear a buzzing sound in my head from the RPG our MRAP actually ya know what, I think were equally stupid.

[fafinito]

Idk y but this video had me rolling."without a report card I'd have a nervous fcking breakdown" lmao

[AlexanderTheRay]

"It's not unemployment if you pay tuition." Ha, so true!

[anz]

YouTube’s recommending this video ten years after it’s uploaded when I’m about to enroll for my Master’s degree 😧

[simpsonman]

"if we we better at life, we wouldn't need more school!"
Exactly! That's why all the best doctors, engineers, scientists, and professors, start work straight out of high school!

[pomeloed]

my bf is doing his PhD and i am very concerned about his health

[dsettleascii]

Not everything you do in life has to be about money. I want a PhD in History, and hopefully teach at the university level. Now will I make a ton of money?No. But its what I'll be happy about doing and to me that trumps money.

I am glad I got a normal job after high school and just lived a little and learned how to do everything by myself, now as a returning student I already planned how I am going to pay for tuition and minimize it as much as I can. I went to a community college first and then transferred after my first two years. Got all credits transferred :)
