Man sparks online debate by choosing first-class degree over $1 million, cites long-term benefits

A man has sparked widespread reactions online after boldly declaring that he would choose a first-class degree over $1 million, arguing that the money would depreciate over time, unlike the lasting benefits of academic excellence.

In a video trending on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, the man was interviewed on the street and posed with the question: “Which would you choose—$1 million or a first-class degree?”

Without hesitation, he opted for the degree, explaining that it would secure him a brighter future with better job opportunities, unlike $1 million, which he claimed would lose value over time.

In his words: “I will choose a first-class degree over $1 million because it will give you more than $1 million. Unlike $1 million, which will depreciate over the next 20 to 40 years, a first-class degree will provide you with more job opportunities, greater insights into life, and intellectual empowerment.”  

The video has ignited heated debates, with many viewers flocking to the comment section to express their opinions on his unconventional perspective.
