why bother? you enroll to a college, you collect a huge debt that the government is not going to cancel - they prefer to give money to corporations instead. covid-19 disrupted in-person education and it's not gonna away any time soon. at the same time there are plenty of crypto startups that don't give a sh*t about education and could be pretty lukrative

View on HN

the government will actually cancel your student debt eventually (25 years) if you're on an income-based repayment plan

I always chuckle when someone on HN inevitably rails against education in a post with bad spelling, grammar, and expletives.

You think expletives are a sign of poor education? How dull.

Yeah, when combined with the bad spelling and grammar.

Dude I am not a native English speaker and I don't give a flying fck about spelling and grammar and people complaining about it.

You must care, or you would have typed the full expletive.

Expletives are a sign of creative intelligence.

Bad spelling/grammar are mostly just due to modern technology where people communicate differently. Those things aren't as important as they once were. You'll see "highly educated" individuals making the same mistakes.

Lastly, there's the possibility you're speaking with someone who is not a native English speaker. Obviously, with your high IQ you should have been able to consider that scenario though ;)
