Of course, we all have the Internet now, and the Internet is amazing. But real-estate prices, college tuition, and health-care costs have all risen faster than inflation. In 1980, it was common to support a family on a single income; now it’s rare. So, how much progress have we really made in the past forty years? Sure, shopping online is fast and easy, and streaming movies at home is cool, but I think a lot of people would willingly trade those conveniences for the ability to own their own homes, send their kids to college without running up lifelong debt, and go to the hospital without falling into bankruptcy. It’s not technology’s fault that the median income hasn’t kept pace with per-capita G.D.P.; it’s mostly the fault of Ronald Reagan and Milton Friedman. But some responsibility also falls on the management policies of C.E.O.s like Jack Welch, who ran General Electric between 1981 and 2001, as well as on consulting firms like McKinsey. I’m not blaming the personal computer for the rise in wealth inequality—I’m just saying that the claim that better technology will necessarily improve people’s standard of living is no longer credible.

Will A.I. Become the New McKinsey?

Taylor Swift's fans are renowned for their loyalty and dedication.

Known colloquially as "Swifties," they sell out stadiums in minutes; spend weeks creating intricate outfits that pay tribute to her albums; comb through her lyrics to find Easter eggs and secret messages.

Back in November, the fandom received national attention for taking action after Ticketmaster bungled the Eras Tour presale.

The backlash was so loud and so fervent that the Department of Justice launched an antitrust investigation into Ticketmaster's parent company. The power of Swifties became clearer than ever.

Indeed, the sheer passion of Swift's fans has helped make her the biggest pop star in the world — but that doesn't grant them absolute access to her life and personal space.

Recently, Swift obsessives have been exhibiting overzealous — and frankly concerning — behavior. Videos have circulated online that show swarms of people camping outside her home in New York City and Electric Lady Studios, where she's been spotted working in between tour dates. Other clips show fans chasing her car down the street.

It's one thing to wait for hours in the pouring rain to watch Swift deliver a spectacular concert. That's her job. It's another, more sinister thing to wait for hours on the sidewalk, just to film her car entering her home garage. That's her life.

Swift has been candid about fending off stalkers throughout her career, making this behavior particularly egregious for anyone who claims to care about her well-being.

"My fear of violence has continued into my personal life," she wrote for Elle in 2019. "I carry QuikClot army-grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds. Websites and tabloids have taken it upon themselves to post every home address I've ever had online. You get enough stalkers trying to break into your house and you kind of start prepping for bad things."

This is not to say that Swift's most fervent fans are all stalkers, but it's easy to see how this behavior could be triggering for someone who's been stalked. And as Swift said in her "Miss Americana" documentary in 2020, "There's a difference between 'I really connect with your lyrics' and 'I'm going to break in.'" Some Swifties clearly need to be reminded of where that line is.

This is also not the first time Swifties have overstepped. Some fans have been known to harass members of the LGBTQ community for analyzing Swift's songs through a queer lens. Others have sent insults and death threats to music critics for less-than-glowing reviews of Swift's music.

Of course, this behavior isn't unique to Swifties. But Swift's lack of admonition is uniquely strange. She has marketed herself as someone who's not afraid to speak up to defend her values, someone who has explicitly condemned homophobes and bullies in her music.

Swift has also said she's proud of her affectionate relationship with fans. She has invited Swifties to her Nashville home for album listening parties; sent personalized notes to celebrate milestones; donated money for college tuitions; protected concertgoers from aggressive security guards.

Unfortunately, a healthy relationship cannot be sustained with affection alone, be it interpersonal or parasocial.

At the risk of sounding like a wannabe therapist, constructive feedback is essential for growth — and when someone you love disrespects your boundaries, it's not constructive to say silent.

This is something that Phoebe Bridgers, Swift's friend and collaborator, knows all too well.

Although Bridgers experiences fame on a vastly different level than Swift, she has also been subjected to abuse and entitlement at the hands of "people with my picture as their Twitter picture."

In a March interview with Them, Bridgers said she was "bullied" in the midst of a speculative frenzy about her dating life — while she was on the way to her father's funeral.

"I've had people take more than I'm giving, and I'm giving a lot," Bridgers recently told the Wall Street Journal. "I'm pretty fucking transparent, because I would value that in someone whose music I liked when I was a kid. Seeing any representation of any feeling and anything true was awesome to me. To be punished for that is so dark."

"There's a higher chance that you'll meet a fan that you hate than a fan that you love," she added. "You're way more likely to be confronted with someone who just violated your privacy."

If these quotes rub you the wrong way, you may be the problem.

Connecting to a person's music does not give you the right to violate her privacy, and Bridgers isn't afraid to draw that line. I wish more musicians would follow suit.

Ahead of Bridgers' final performance at the Eras Tour on Sunday, I hope Swift is able to absorb some of her bravery and wisdom. It's OK to criticize people for bad behavior — and the fans who stick around are the ones worth keeping.

Even the media can get it right on occasion, the recent behaviour by some so called swifties is bordering on STALKING and needs to stop.

Unless we all want to go back to why she disappeared again.

The Boy From the Pacific Northwest (Part I) (A romance)

There are three men in this world who truly did a number on me. Their words sliced me into pieces. Their actions made me question romance forever. They buried me for a long time. One was a monster, another, a byproduct of his environment. The last one is recent. I don’t know when, or if, I’ll ever talk about him. So we’ll start with the ladder, because although he isn’t on my radar anymore, I don't think I ever truly dove into the complexities that were our whirlwind romance. I don’t think I ever talked about him, in words or on paper. He was there, and then he was not. He left a hole in my heart that was eventually filled with other magical things. 

We’ll call him A.

I met A online. Yes, I know; dangerous. Reckless. Stupid. But that is what community does, specifically roleplaying communities where we all expose our rib cages and bones to strangers online anonymously. We tear away the flesh to reveal our deepest wants, our most fervent ideas, and our authentic selves without the restrictions of names or identities. That’s the beauty of these communities; we grow to love each other for the soul on the inside, knowing very little about each other in the real world. And A and I grew very close in a very short amount of time.

Unfortunately, A was a rebound, and he knew it. I think he took full advantage of my emotional vulnerability from another man, but I was twenty-two years old. I was aching. I needed release, and I didn’t find that release in sex. I found it in other forms of intimacy.

Writing.

And A, he was a beautiful author. He crafted stories exquisitely. Through one circumstance or another, he and I became the leaders (AKA: “The Dungeon Masters”) of a large online community of over eighty people. We were burdened, together, with the responsibility of crafting deep, complex stories about war, loss, love, friendship, loyalty, pirates, and all of that in-between. The role was thrusted on me. He volunteered to help, and was eager to share that burden.

Our late-night idea sessions went from text to phone calls. Then to FaceTimes. We learned about each other, and although I had never met him before in-person, he became my closest confidant. I’d call him when I argued with a coworker. He’d call me when his professors at the university assigned him a tedious paper. We learned more and more about each other until our phone calls became less about the stories we were writing, and more about who we were as people.

Authentic.

Survival.

Infestation, really.

Because we never, ever left each other alone. 

So who was this A? And why did he, younger than I, change me so deeply?

He came from the rain-soaked city of Seattle. He was as reckless as the waves of the Pacific ocean. He had ambitious, deep-blue eyes that danced like flickering flames at every challenge and every opportunity. Youth flowed through his veins; I was only three years older than him, already a junior in college, but he never truly grew up. At nineteen, he embraced childlike wonder (and brashness) like an expensive cologne. And unfortunately, A never knew the meaning of “wrong”; entitlement was bred into his blood. He was a byproduct of privilege and money, and what money could buy someone. 

A knew I was poor. He knew I grew up on food stamps, knew most of my clothes were hand-me-downs from antique stores and thrift shops, knew that I had to fund many of the bills for the home while my mother was sick. He claims it didn’t bother him. However, it bothered me.

Because A was an example of everything I wanted and never had; a nuclear family, two loving parents who still loved each other, a healthy relationship with his siblings, parents who paid for his tuition, didn’t have to work for his bills, and was allotted freedom to explore his identity. Meanwhile, I was attending full-time classes, working late hours, paying for the electricity, water, and gas for my home, taking my mother in and out of rehab, and trying, scraping by to find time to write poetry. I usually only had the time on the bus, the bumpy road evidence in my scribbled lines. 

It wasn’t A’s fault that my life was in shambles. He was merely a reminder of how defeated I truly was. Because his family’s money cushioned him from any real hardships. His parents created a barrier between him and the suffering of the common people. To him, love and consequence were a fleeting concept. 

But, he was handsome.

And I was lonely.

So I embraced the riddle that was our romance whole-heartedly.

A knew I wanted to experience Seattle, so he and his family invited me up there again.

And again.

And again.

Seattle. California. Spas. Theme parks. Museums. University tours. Poetry slams. Beach visits. Fancy hotels. Nice cars.

All expenses paid for vacations to the Pacific Northwest. All I had to do was smile pretty at dinners, drink the expensive wine his mother poured me, and climb between the sheets with him at night. It was something I desperately desired because for the first time in my life, I was getting a taste of many of the things I felt I had missed out on. My mother was suffering at home, but for once, I was 1500 miles away; I could avoid her wrath as she spat obscenities at me in the middle of the night in a drunken fit. I could pull on a raincoat and let A take me to the city. I could experience the true Pacific Northwest dream. 

Or so I thought.

tessa lark aka #dysfunctionqueen

23 years old

date of birth: november 20th

job: server at sketti / #milf

personality:

(+) independent, resourceful

(-) self critical, anxious

background:

tessa grew up in a loud, chaotic family where fist fighting and chasing each other around with sharp objects was normal. they were always the loudest house on the block and it wasn't unusual for the cops to be called at least once a week.

her parents weren't really around - her dad was usually in jail for one reason or another, and her mother was off somewhere drinking and/or out looking for her next score and if she was around she just added to the dysfunction and chaos. the lark kids were left to fend for themselves, so tessa was raised by her older siblings who made sure she wasn't entirely screwed up and went to school and didn't starve to death.

since their parents were off in jail or drinking whatever money they had away, the lark kids usually had to resort to selling drugs or steal to make money to keep the electricity on and keep food in the house. once tessa was old enough she contributed by writing essays and stealing answer keys to tests and selling them to her classmates.

she excelled in school and as she grew up, she wanted more for herself instead of the life the lark's had handed to them - she longed for a life free of chaos and dysfunction, and yearned to be carefree, financially stable, happy, and far away from her shitty parents, and her way out was by doing good in school. she didn't necessarily care about the career she'd have, as long as it made her money and brought her closer to the life she desired.

once she graduated from high school - the first of the lark family to graduate, ever - she started going to college and was aiming to eventually get her medical degree and become a highly respected doctor, but life had a funny way of completely throwing her off track. a kid was not part of her plans (maybe in the very, very, very distant future she would've considered it) but she'd always loved Major, and when she imagined her future, she thought he could maybe be a part of it, so instead of nipping it in the bud, she told him and accepted her fate.

she took a break from school after having the baby, but is now taking online classes and trying to juggle raising her child between school and working at sketti. but with rent and tuition to pay, plus all the diapers and baby expenses, tessa's job, even with tips, is not enough to pay the bills. it's far from the life she wanted for herself and she's still set on getting herself (and now her child) out of the kitchen and into a better neighborhood and life for them, with or without major's help.

some facts:

she's the second youngest of her family - she has two older brothers, one older sister, and a younger brother.

she was arrested when she was fifteen for stealing a police cruiser and taking it for a joy ride with her friends and little brother.

when she has downtime, she always liked reading and writing has kept a journal since she was ten. she used to imagine becoming an author but it was always a pipe dream. she still tries to journal but she's usually too busy these days.

her favorite drink is a long island iced tea.

The maximum amounts that can be borrowed with short-term loans, such as same day loans UK, are often less than those that are available with regular loans.

The incredible rise of guitar hero Sophie Lloyd: from YouTube covers to Machine Gun Kelly

Sophie Lloyd has gone from playing Avenged Sevenfold covers in her teenage band to working with Matt Heafy and Machine Gun Kelly

It was during a show in August 2022 at the FirstEnergy Stadium in Ohio, home to the Cleveland Browns NFL team, in front of 41,000 people, that Sophie Lloyd knew she was doing something right. She was playing guitar for US pop-punk/tabloid star Machine Gun Kelly, when he brought four fans onstage. One of them was a girl, who ran right past him to gift Sophie a cap.

“It was such a cool moment!” Sophie grins today. “I was on my knees jamming with her. It was one of my favourite moments of the tour – and I still have that hat.”

That tour was in support of Machine Gun Kelly’s sixth album, Mainstream Sellout, and encompassed some of the US and Europe’s biggest venues. Before Sophie joined his band, she hadn’t even played to 1,000 people before. At least, not in person.

Sophie is part of a generation of YouTube guitarists – players showing off their chops online, building a following via a combination of covers, original songs, tuition and personality. She has 869,000 subscribers, and is unique in making that leap to IRL stardom in arenas. Some old-school gatekeepers might argue she hasn’t paid her dues, but she stresses she’s put in many hours of practice, and it took eight years before her channel made any money.

“Anyone who thinks it’s easy to get big on YouTube clearly fucking doesn’t know shit,” she says. “I get what they’re saying, in a way… people who’ve been in broken-down vans, and slept in the ‘roach coach’ where there’s roaches climbing everywhere, for a gig that’s paying you £30 – I get it. And I did elements of that when I was growing up. But the world has changed now – you either need to evolve with it and become successful with it, or you’re just stuck in your ways and you’re complaining about it. We want to be inspiring these young people growing up and creating, we don’t want to be bashing them down.”

Sophie’s sitting in her living room this afternoon, in front of a towering scratching post, as cats Luna and Jaxx run around. Behind that, boyfriend Chris Painter, her co-writer, drummer and sometimes videographer, is on the sofa on a laptop. She speaks with the kind of smiling, chatty confidence you see in her videos, clear and assured but not afraid to show vulnerability.

Her introduction to heavy music came from her dad, a data scientist, who would play Rory Gallagher, Joe Bonamassa, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in the car. At age nine, she took a few lessons in classical guitar, but it didn’t really land. It was seeing an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants – yes, really – soon after that inspired her to pick up an electric guitar.

“People have these really cool backstories and I’m like, ‘Fuck, mine was an episode of SpongeBob’, she laughs. “It’s when they cover the Twisted Sister song I Wanna Rock, and it’s like [she sings] ‘I’m a goofy goober, rock!’ with lasers shooting out of guitars. I was like, ‘Oh my god, that’s so awesome. That’s what I wanna do.’”

Falling in love with electric guitar, she got big into emo and punk, alongside guitar virtuosos Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. The problem was, there weren’t many heavy music fans in her gentile hometown of Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, and she felt like an outcast.

“I dressed like a proper rocker,” she explains. “I had the undersides of my hair dyed black, and I would wear studded bracelets. Which doesn’t sound too extreme, but in Henley-on-Thames, it’s like, ‘Who the hell is this Satan worshipper?!’ And I felt like I didn’t really connect. I didn’t have anyone to go to gigs with. I’d go with my dad, and he’d be there in his suit in the back row, while I’m moshing in the front. I wish I’d had people to share that stuff with.”

Instead, Sophie spent a lot of time alone. While everyone else was hanging out at lunchtime, she’d go to the school’s music room. While they went to parties, she would stay home and practise songs. Between the ages of 13-17, she became withdrawn. “It was kind of like a dark time, I guess?” she remembers. “But at the same time, you look back and you’re like, ‘I’m so grateful that happened’, because that’s where my inspiration and creativity really grew.”

During that period, she also joined her first band, The Hidden Truth, via the website Joinmyband.com. Their first set included covers by Chelsea Grin, Parkway Drive, Avenged Sevenfold and Black Veil Brides. “We were awful,” she laughs. “But that was a fun time. It was the first time I’d been around other musicians, and discovered the love of playing music.”

Like her dad, Sophie excelled in science, and landed a scholarship to study Forensic Science at Sussex. But just before she was meant to start, she got the feeling something was wrong, and made a snap decision to apply to music school BIMM London, where she’d spend the next four years.

It was another tough time for Sophie who, desperate to get good grades, doggedly studied genres she wasn’t interested in, such as gypsy jazz, rather than playing the metal she loved – all while in a “bad relationship” with someone who didn’t want her to pursue music at all. When they broke up after her second year, she started therapy and antidepressants, leading to a change in mindset. Rather than worrying about her academic performance, she loosened up and applied her new knowledge to her rock playing – and still got a First.

“I was like, ‘Right, I’m gonna take home all this stuff that I’m learning around different genres, and play it through a distortion amp to a rock backing track and see how it sounds,’” she says. “I started writing and honing in on my particular sound. Although they felt like some of the worst times, I was sort of born again. Sorry, that got a bit deep!”

Although Sophie never had a career path in mind, she’s thrived on YouTube, uploading her “shred versions” of songs by artists ranging from Iron Maiden��and Killswitch Engage to Britney Spears and Dua Lipa, alongside vlogs about everything from pedals to performance anxiety. She started her channel in 2012 at age 16, hoping to meet likeminded people, and went full time with it after BIMM while working a side job at dessert restaurant Creams (“I don’t mean to brag, but I make amazing sundaes!” she laughs).

Early YouTuber inspirations were Andy James, then guitarist of Sacred Mother Tongue and now in Five Finger Death Punch, alongside personable general creators such as danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil. For Sophie, YouTube isn’t just about guitar playing, it’s about relatability. When she arrived in the States for the MGK tour, she filmed herself lying in bed, crying, nervous and homesick.

“I want people to see it’s not just all rock’n’roll. We’re all humans, we all go through shit. Sometimes you can look at social media and be like, ‘Everything’s perfect for this person’, but I think it’s important to break that wall down and be like, ‘Well, it’s not always sunshine and roses,’” she explains.

The tour was a leap for Sophie, who had only played small gigs with The Hidden Truth, a few bands at uni, and her last venture, Marisa And The Moths. She’d messaged MGK two years earlier on a whim, saying, ‘If you ever need a guitarist, hit me up!’ – and there he was in her DMs in April 2022, looking for a live guitarist. After a FaceTime meeting with him and his team, she learned the songs within a month.

“I was fucking terrified, because it’s such a different thing that I didn’t even really know if I wanted to do it. I didn’t know if I’d like it,” she admits. “But I always try to live my life with the mantra, ‘What would make the best story’? And I thought I’d just give it a go. If it fails, at least I’ve got a funny story to tell at the pub on a Friday night, you know? Ha ha ha!”

Growing up on YouTube rather than ‘paying her dues’ the old-fashioned way had left Sophie with a bad case of imposter syndrome that she’d long been battling before this tour.

“I was like, ‘I’ve come through this such unique avenue. Do I deserve to be at this level when I haven’t gone that traditional route?’ But I think your journey’s your journey. And I think you’ve just got to try and shake that,” she says. “You shouldn’t have any shame about what you’ve done to get to where you are, because at the end of the day everyone works to be where they are, and if they’re there, they’re there for a reason.”

Luckily, her nerves evaporated as soon as she stepped onstage for the first date in Austin, Texas. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is what I’m meant to be doing,’” she smiles. 

Sophie’s willingness to be in the public eye was tested when a baseless rumour started circulating in the media that MGK had cheated on his fiancée, actress Megan Fox, with her. To get some downtime, the guitarist and her boyfriend retreated to her parents’ house, where they were doorstopped by a reporter. Meanwhile, Megan stepped in to dispel the rumours, calling Sophie “insanely talented”.

“Yeah, that was wild!” she exclaims, calmly but with disbelief. “I never thought I’d be in some sort of internet scandal. The week it happened, I didn’t know how to deal with it. I’ve been in a relationship with my boyfriend for five years, and we just had our anniversary. It felt like a step back for women in the industry, in a way. Where just because there’s a girl in the band, they automatically become the homewrecker, when it’s like, ‘I’m just doing my job.’ I was annoyed and I didn’t want girls to see that.”

At the start of the pandemic, Sophie and boyfriend Chris began working on her debut album, candidly titled Imposter Syndrome. Following on from her Satriani-influenced instrumental Delusions EP in 2018, and inspired by Slash’s 2010 self-titled debut solo record, it features an array of guest vocalists, including her former bandmate Marisa, Nathan James from Inglorious, Trivium’s Matt Heafy and more to be announced.

“The album is so full-circle,” says Sophie. “I’ve gone from being scared to even do a live performance online – that’s why I started my Twitch in 2021, to try and start doing live stuff to feel less like an imposter – to playing Wembley Arena live. It’s a cool story.” 

She plans to tour Imposter Syndrome next year, and then carry on with YouTube, Twitch, Patreon and whatever else comes up, in an era where artists need multiple revenue streams to survive, and on a mission to “bring shred guitar into the mainstream”. In the long run, she’d like to open an animal sanctuary. For now, she’s happy she’s been able to reach so many people – especially young women, like the one at the Ohio show.

“Everything I do, I do with the thought of my 15-year-old self watching,” she says. “I’m making my YouTube channel for that girl. That’s the same with my album. I wrote it with the idea of, ‘What would that girl wanna listen to?’ or ‘What would be inspiring for her?’ I wanna make that depressed little metalhead child happy and make her smile.”

Thank you and your fallowers for answering the student loan ask. I think I kinda get it now and it sounds awful. I never understand why schools cost that much, honestly. Here, tuition fees seem to get higher every year, too. Some schools are also greedy. When the pandemic happened, my sister's school implemented online class but the tuition is still full price. They have to pay for school equipment (ac/electricity) and facilities (laboratories) which they can't even use as they're stuck at home.

What are the Characteristics of Analog Signals and Digital Signals?

A signal is an electrical or electromagnetic quantity that transports data or information from one system to another. For data transmission, two types of signals are used: Analog signals and digital signals. 

Analog and digital signals are very different in many ways. An analog signal is a continuous function, whereas a digital signal is a discontinuous function. 

Typically speaking, analog and digital signals are two signal kinds that carry data or information. As far as analog signal vs digital signal is concerned, analog signals feature continuous electrical signals, whereas digital signals are otherwise without continuity in signals. 

Types of Signals 

Signals are classified into two types: 

Continuous-time signals/ Analog signals: A continuous-time signal is any continuous function of time. 

Discrete-time signals/ Digital Signals: A discrete-time signal is any series of real numbers separated by equal time increments (or samples). 

Analog signals are used to create information-carrying signals in many systems. Both in terms of quantities and time, these signals are continuous. As technology evolved, digital transmissions repealed the use of analog signals. Signals that are natural or occur naturally are analog signals. Since it denotes a quantity that is analogous to another measure, it is called so. Analog signals are known for use as a medium to channelize the flow of information. Analog signals can be easily distorted, thereby losing clarity and quality. 

Examples of Analog Signal 

Any natural sound, human voice, and data read by analog devices are examples of analog signals. 

Characteristics of analog signals 

Analog signals denote a voltage or any physical quantity that is continuous and invariable and fluctuates in its quantity based on the parameter whose behavior changes according to time. These can be radio waves, broadcast waves 

Further classification of analog signals based on characteristics: 

Continuous-time signals and discrete-time signals 

Analog signal processing makes use of electronic devices to conduct several operations on the signals. These can range from amplification to limiting. Certain tools used in processing analog signals are analog signal generators, power supply, oscilloscopes and certain other electronic equipment. 

Measuring analog signals 

For an analog signal source, its amplitude is measured in volts while the frequency of an analog signal is measured in Hertz. Thus, analog signals carry three categories of information – amplitude, frequency and phase 

What is Digital Signal? 

A digital signal is a discrete function of time rather than a continuous signal. Digital signals are binary in nature and consist of discrete voltage values at discrete times. A digital signal, in essence, represents data and information as a sequence of discrete values at any given time. The digital signal has a limited number of values. 

Characteristics of digital signals 

The digital signal is a discrete delivery time and is a non-continuous signal. The bandwidth of digital signals is very high so, they are highly suitable for functions such as computing, digital operations, data storage, etc. The square wave function represents digital signals. These digital signals have fewer fluctuations, healthier instability, and do not fall prey to noise and disturbances, unlike analog signals.The accuracy and precision of digital signals is also high due to the zero effect of sound on them. They also use less power and give zero errors

Success Without a Degree: Rethinking the Need for Higher Education

In a world where the job market is continually evolving, the conventional wisdom that a college degree is essential for career success is increasingly being questioned. With rising tuition fees, mounting student debt, and the availability of alternative educational pathways, many are asking: Do you really need a degree to succeed? This article delves into the shifting perspectives on higher education and explores whether traditional college degrees are still necessary in today's diverse and dynamic economy.

The Traditional College Degree: A Brief Overview

For generations, a college degree has been viewed as the cornerstone of career success. It was a symbol of academic achievement, a key to unlocking job opportunities, and a pathway to financial stability. The structure of higher education provided students with a well-rounded education, exposing them to various subjects and disciplines, while also offering specialized knowledge in their chosen field.

The societal expectation was clear: attend college, earn a degree, and secure a well-paying job. This pathway was particularly emphasized in the 20th century, where college graduates consistently earned higher incomes and enjoyed more stable careers than their non-degreed counterparts.

The Cost of Higher Education: A Growing Concern

However, the landscape of higher education has changed dramatically over the past few decades. One of the most significant shifts has been the escalating cost of obtaining a college degree. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the average cost of tuition and fees for a four-year college degree in the United States has increased by over 200% since the 1980s. This dramatic rise in costs has led to a student debt crisis, with millions of graduates entering the workforce burdened with substantial debt.

The financial strain of paying for college has prompted many to reconsider the value of a degree. While it is true that, on average, college graduates earn more than those without degrees, the return on investment is not guaranteed. For some, the high cost of tuition and the associated debt may outweigh the potential financial benefits of earning a degree.

The Rise of Alternative Education Pathways

In response to the high cost of traditional college education, alternative educational pathways have emerged as viable options for individuals seeking career success. These alternatives offer different ways to acquire skills and knowledge without the significant financial investment of a four-year degree.

1. Vocational and Technical Training

Vocational and technical training programs provide practical, hands-on experience in specific trades and industries. These programs are often shorter and less expensive than traditional college degrees and can lead directly to high-demand, well-paying jobs. Careers in fields such as healthcare, technology, and skilled trades (like plumbing, welding, and electrical work) often require technical skills that can be acquired through vocational training rather than a college degree.

For example, the rise of coding bootcamps has revolutionized the tech industry. These intensive, short-term programs teach students how to code and develop software in just a few months, often leading to high-paying jobs in the tech sector without the need for a four-year degree.

2. Online Education and Certifications

The digital age has brought about a revolution in education. Online learning platforms such as Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning offer courses and certifications in a wide range of subjects, from business management to computer programming and digital marketing. These courses are often more affordable and flexible than traditional college programs, allowing individuals to learn at their own pace while balancing work and other responsibilities.

In some industries, particularly in technology and creative fields, online certifications and practical experience can be more valuable than a traditional degree. Employers are increasingly looking for candidates who can demonstrate their skills through portfolios, project work, and real-world experience rather than just relying on academic credentials.

3. Entrepreneurship and Freelancing

The gig economy has opened up new opportunities for those without a college degree. Freelancing and entrepreneurship allow individuals to create their own career paths, build businesses, and work on projects that align with their passions and skills. Platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Etsy provide opportunities for freelancers to connect with clients and customers worldwide, allowing them to build successful careers without the need for formal education.

Entrepreneurship, in particular, has become a popular alternative to traditional employment. Many successful entrepreneurs, such as Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Richard Branson, either dropped out of college or never attended, proving that a degree is not a prerequisite for success. The key to their success was not formal education but their ability to innovate, take risks, and persevere.

The Shifting Value of a College Degree

As alternative education pathways become more prevalent, the value of a college degree is being reevaluated. While degrees are still important in many fields—such as medicine, law, and engineering—where specific knowledge and credentials are required, the necessity of a degree in other industries is becoming less clear.

The emphasis is shifting from the credential itself to the skills and competencies that individuals bring to the table. Employers are increasingly focused on what candidates can do rather than where they earned their degrees. In this context, the ability to demonstrate practical skills, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and adaptability is becoming more important than holding a traditional degree.

Moreover, the rapid pace of technological change means that the skills learned in college may quickly become outdated. Lifelong learning and continuous professional development are essential in today’s job market, regardless of whether one has a degree. This need for ongoing education challenges the traditional model of a one-time, four-year degree as the ultimate preparation for a career.

Lifelong Learning: The Key to Career Success

Given the evolving job market and the importance of skills over credentials, lifelong learning is emerging as a critical component of career success. Whether or not one pursues a traditional degree, the ability to learn new skills, adapt to changes, and continuously grow professionally is crucial in today’s economy.

Lifelong learning can take many forms, from formal education to self-directed study, professional development courses, and on-the-job training. Employers value candidates who are committed to continuous learning and who can demonstrate their ability to stay current in their field.

In this context, a college degree is just one part of a broader educational journey. It can provide a foundation, but it should not be seen as the end of one’s education. Instead, individuals should be prepared to engage in lifelong learning to remain competitive and successful in their careers.

Do You Really Need a Degree to Succeed?

The question of whether a college degree is necessary for success does not have a straightforward answer. For some individuals and careers, a degree is essential, providing the necessary credentials and knowledge for professional practice. However, for others, alternative pathways—such as vocational training, online education, and entrepreneurship—may offer more practical and financially viable routes to career success.

Ultimately, the key to success lies not in the degree itself but in the ability to learn, adapt, and seize opportunities. Whether through formal education, self-directed learning, or hands-on experience, individuals who are committed to personal and professional growth are the ones most likely to succeed in today’s dynamic job market.

As the traditional value of a college degree continues to be questioned, it is important for individuals to carefully consider their own goals, resources, and the demands of the job market when deciding on their educational path. While a degree can open doors, it is not the only path to a successful and fulfilling career.
