the credential doesn't get the job. the credential is the baseline for not having your application ignored. the credential doesn't keep the job. valuable work product, demonstrate initiative, interpersonal skills and professional development do.

stop talking like a career coach. you are always replaceable.

stop talking like a fool. it's one thing to understand the ideological frame of neoliberal capitalism that our society operates within.

it is something else entirely to internalize it and believe it so thoroughly you abandon your own agency and education.

where did i write anything about abandoning your own education?

"work hard and you will be rewarded" like come on, at least add a bit of an ironic bent to it, I don't feel like reading unsolicited milquetoast career advice on my communist shitposting forum, if i wanted that I'd be on reddit

In a system that is already captured, and oppressive, you have very low odds (zero if POC/woman) of ascending to the top of the oppression food chain by playing within the system

you have better odds by playing outside the system. Parts of traditional education are important for that. Parts are totally useless. Parts are only trivially important in the sense that they help you make social connections with other people brainwashed by the same trivia.

Even that's a long shot though, and at the end of the day if you enjoy something then it's worthwhile, and a lot of people enjoy not crunching numbers.

The thing is that the kid who uses chatgpt to do homework is woefully ill-equipped to know which is which. There's no shortcuts to reading theory, so to speak.
