Will destroyed that guy
Anyone who did studies like that will tell you that it’s not what you learnt that matters, it’s the degree you get and the network you create, public library doesn’t get you that. Will is either moronic or intentionally missing the point here.
>Will was coping hard
Well yeah..... that was the point. Did you completely miss his character arc? He spent his time trying to justify doing frick all with his life and at the end he realized he needed to make an effort.

If anything it’s the opposite. Degrees have become the expected minimum qualification for positions that didn’t use to require them and PhD’s are the joke unless you plan on going into scholarship
>Degrees have become the expected minimum qualification for positions that didn’t use to require them
yes but it's not about a degree itself tho. It serves as a proof you were disciplined enough to get them which implies you are going to be at least moderately productive. You can interview a guy without a degree and he can make a good impression but he will be a risk.

haha yeah right. I work with nothing but degree having people and they fricking suck and are always late and needing time off. They will drag you through college to get you the piece of paper. A degree just a flex of your families wealth, that's honestly what it's designed for.

Imagine not having rich parents gift you a house and company. They got me a comfy landscaping company. Mostly comfy, had to fire one of Father's mexicans last week. He was already on thin ice for being late a few times but caught him on Wednesday after he had gone numero dos in the office el bano. I specifically rented a port-a-potty for them and they all knew. Waited until Friday to make sure he didn't do any crazy shit. Had to make an example out of him so his amigos remember who runs shit at Father's landscaping company.

The only jobs that still require degrees are doctors, lawyers, some scientific field, and some office jobs. However those office jobs require a good work experience and at least a few good connections. Most jobs nowadays require certifications that can be obtain within a month or so.
Except without a degree Will got offered a six-figure job working for the CIA lmao
Meanwhile what's this cuck going to achieve? Top seller at his dad's real estate firm? A mid-level position at some New York stock exchange? Oh wait no he's getting a degree in history, I'm sure that's going to land him a fricking incredible job with such a versatile skillset
This is why everything is going to shit. It’s all nepotism the education system in America is garbage, when it comes to actually learning shit. The nepotism has lead to a bunch of unqualified people in high up positions simply because they’re from a rich family and know the right people. Some can hack it and succeed but some are just limp wristed homosexuals
you're a fricking moron. the "douche" has a harvard degree, can get any job on the planet. will hunting will keep being a loser hanging with irish Black folk among 20 years something in bars and cleaning toilettes. he loses so hard that he has to ape out and threatens the guy at the end. he lost hard and it's hilarious that this movie for braindead normies wants you to think that he won.
gays forget that Ivy League schools exist to give you access to the most powerful social and capital networks on Earth.
You gays can take solace in winning an argument against a Stanford, Oxford, MIT or Harvard Chad but at the end of the day, he's not becoming your boss. He's becoming the guy that buy's out your bosses company (then stripping it of assets (i.e. you) and selling it off). And then he goes back to nice second house and hot as frick wife while you remember that time you won an argument.

, harvard especially today is a joke and you can get absolutely anywhere you could've gotten otherwise as long as you aren't a moron and just do the shit you're supposed to, but better than everyone else. Which yeah, means you could go to community college on pell grants, get into some backwater law school, and still do whatever you wanted if you aren't a shiteating moron.
And no, you can't get any job on the planet with a harvard degree lmao.
Might sounds like a cope but i worked with a guy with a masters from Ivy League and he constantly reminded our team of it. He was the same level as this guy who had been doing it forever but only had a high school degree. And he did NOT pick up on social cues or know how to navigate office politics (we all talked shit about him constantly). The other guy was more well liked
Will's entire argument could be revealed for the farce that it is if the Harvard guy emptied the contents of his drink container on the floor and told Will "clean it up, wagie"
>Guy sues Will for assault >Will loses his job, faces possible jail time and civil damages >can't find another job with his record >eventually overdoses on fentanyl-laced heroin >meanwhile the girl has already moved on to pumping out some doctor's 2.1 kids in the suburbs
It's all upside when you tell a wagie to clean it up
Those places are only for finding respectable women to marry. He wasn't looking for a respectable woman to marry, he was looking for a middle class prostitute to frick and dump.
morons here like to pretend will still lost because the college dude will inevitably go on to be wealthy, completely ignoring the fact that Will could get any job he wants and was offered several high paying positions at another point in the movie. The only way he ends up as a blue collar worker is if that’s what he wants. Meanwhile college boy dropped thousands on a degree that still probably doesn’t guarantee him a career anywhere near as good as what Will could get.
the argument was won by will the second he showed everyone dude was just reciting lines from his textbook, it's not that hard morons. everyhing past that was just a dick measuring contest. also will looks better so he won that one too
Left school when I was 16 and wageslaving ever since. Both my friends that went to uni are making 10 grand a year more than me. That said, I would have never fit in at uni. There's no way I could live with like 5 other people my age, I like being on my lonesome. Hate parties too which is what they spent most of their time doing.
I’d really like to go to school just to learn more about topics that interest me like law, finance, history, etc. but I’m not paying 70k just to learn, that shit is an absolute ripoff.
Why not take a couple of courses on subjects that interest you at a local community college? A lot of professors with pretty respectable careers and great knowledge leave actual universities and go to community colleges because they’re way more relaxed and probably don’t require them to do as much research and publication
>thinks he can get a job with a library card
You can, though. When I was too poor to pay for the internet I went to the library and applied to jobs on their computers.
but you had a degree right?
this movie is literally trying to give the 'firm handshake' as the way to get a job
