Why do many people who have never been to college look down on college students?
Nowadays, many people who haven't gone to college will look down on those who have, because they will find that they have high academic qualifications, but their monthly salary is not as good as theirs. They will think that higher education is useless and ability is more important. Moreover, some of their students, even college students, can't find jobs or work in the same place as many people, which shows no advantage of high academic qualifications at all. People who haven't been to college will think that those who have been to school are nerds, who only learn and are inferior to themselves in other aspects. For example, socially, they will feel that they will not detour in front of outsiders and will not say beautiful words. There is no way to get the approval of the leaders, and all they have learned are theoretical knowledge and no practical experience. Those who have never been to college can go out to work hard after graduating from high school, and they can accumulate a lot of social experience. When they graduate, they can also find a world and have some savings in their hands, so they feel better than those who went to college. Nowadays, the employment situation is very serious. Many college students can't find jobs. After years of hard work, they can't find a job after graduation, which will make them feel more about what they are going to college for, and will also make those who don't go to college look down on them. In society, they value everyone's ability more. When friends are together, they are most concerned about everyone's monthly income. They won't say that you will be respected by others if you have a high degree. They value your ability more, and who works more decently now. I think not only those who have never been to college look down on those who have been to college, but also those who have been to college. They think there will be a generation gap between them, they will not speak at the same level, the social atmosphere will be heavier, and they will not be very comfortable with people at the same stage.
