TikToker Sparks Debate By Calling College A 'Scam' After Being Unable To Secure High-Paying Job

TikToker @fitnesswithalison lamented how she made more 'serving sushi rolls' than she could at any low-level jobs out of college since better paying jobs require 'experience.'

We all know that higher education and college degrees in the United States cost a highly questionable amount of money.

We also know that the job market is intensely competitive, and it's difficult to land a job, let alone one that pays high enough to pay off potential debt.


But we might not go so far as to call the entire college institution a "scam" over it.

Enraged Tiktoker @fitnesswithallison has, however, after graduating with her degree in business and marketing, which put her over $80,000 in debt.

To pay off that debt, the TikToker would realistically need a job that pays $100,000 or more per year, but these positions are not hiring people who do not have the matching experience.

Yelling from her car, Allison argued:

"But the school was the experience!"

The TikToker felt she had been fooled into thinking that a college degree was what would make her successful in life, and she'd been taught to think that putting herself into so much debt would lead to an immediate payoff in the form of a high-paying job.

But it was clear that college culture had failed Allison in the same way that it has fooled hundreds of thousands of other college graduates since the early 2000s.

You can watch the video here:

Fellow TikTokers were deeply divided over this subject, with some completely understanding why Allison felt this way and others viewing this as a great example as to why she hasn't been hired yet.

Some empathized and shared their own stories of struggling financially after college.

But others found the TikToker to be incredibly entitled for believing she didn't need to pay her dues.

Since posting this video, Alison has posted several follow-up videos about the hardships of job hunting, applying for jobs, and then getting rejected for those positions.

But then one day she shared a video in which she was able to walk away from the position she hated as a server, and she's since been growing her business as a fitness coach on social media.

Because of that expensive background in marketing, we're sure there's hope for her success.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
