Not if your country is smart enough to make education free...

You can still get paid to study though, which makes scholarships nice

I took it to be the act of engaging in scholarly study, not a financial scholarship for fees.

There is free education and free education. If I don't pay for university but I still need to pay for food and rent, I need scolarship to actually dedicate myself to my studies.

One can lead to the other if you play your cards right

Sadly, my degree in computer science didn't bring me any relationship :(

[โ€“] 5715@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

No professional relationship either?

Having experienced both, Iโ€™d like to have a debate on the subject. And, having experienced both, I can come prepared.

[โ€“] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Having had neither, I am willing to debate you

[โ€“] 5715@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Are you ready to debate?

[โ€“] Elilol@fedinsfw.app 2 points 1 month ago

Speaking as a girl that has had boyfriends, but no formal education, I agree.

[โ€“] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 1 month ago

A starship so I can get the hell off this planet.

[โ€“] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago

Depend which one but I can't say it is wrong.

[โ€“] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Ship of thesis

I agree as a man. I mean relationships are good but scholarships are way better, although no relationship is poor too. However, money is the best.
