A gradiot is a person who has wasted money and time getting zero skills from college while there's an actual opportunity to learn everything for free.
WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE ?The alternative is simple, don't be a gradiot i.e. don't attend college. Rather, Learn skills, put yourself out and bag an internship by showcasing your portfolio. When you choose not going to college, the world becomes your stage and the internet transforms into your holy grail for learning and guidance.
Let's think smartly and analyse the purpose of "good" college. It assembles several talented individuals under one roof and creates an atmosphere of learning, building a portfolio of projects and networking.
And we can achieve this atmosphere even without opting for college in a three step process:
1. learning
2. building

I , Tanay Pratap, myself am a gradiot. But I am not proud of it. I did my graduation in the prejio times. If given an option today in 2020, I would anyday choose not going to college and invest my four years of life in self learning through freely available internet resources. I would go full on in the field of open source development and also try my hands at freelance assignments. I strongly believe that together we can save the future generations from going into this shit hole. I believe that college has depricated curriculum and nothing good can come out of learning obselete technologies. According to a research in 2018, syllabus in engineering colleges has not been revised since past 50 years. This validates my belief and raises a concern in my mind about the future of students who would be forced into this senile college system.

While I was in my 1st year and when I attended my 1st class and I felt like it was the worst experience I ever had in my life. And on that day itself, I thought this is not made for me I was afraid of telling my parents about this because they have invested 1.5 lakh for me in my admission process including my new laptop. So I started to research on the Internet about how can I get clients for graphic designing and video editing as I was doing these while I was in class 11 and 12.
