I’ll go ahead and skip paying $30K/year so that I can hear some 60 year old, who makes $120K/year yet has done nothing with his/her life outside the world of academia, tell me shit I can learn on the internet for free and try to convince me that I should be a bleeding heart and cry my eyes out when the government doesn’t hand me my life on a silver platter.

Guessing you have never been.

You people have really weird ideas about what college is like.

That means that successful people seek degrees, not the other way around

I know that you spend several hundred dollars for a book that comes out brand new every other year with basically zero changes and that you have to take 60+ credits of shit you neither want or need that relates absolutely nothing to your field of study to get a piece of paper that proves nothing more than you’re capable of spending money and passing as an average human being on the most basic level.

If I could go to school, spend a REASONABLE amount of money, learn only the shit that was ACTUALLY useful in my field, and it didn’t take four fucking years of my life to prove that a I can show up on time to 60% of my classes and get a ‘C’ average I’d be all in.

Alot of colleges /universities offer mickey mouse courses that will take them nowhere in life.people got to do research before jumping in.

Hey man, I haven’t taken a college class since 2007.

how long were u there? i am just curious cuz of your recent statement, did you stop after a while (got sick of it?)

Long enough to finish about four courses, then decided it wasn’t for me.
Worked a few dead end jobs from 18-22 then got sick of going nowhere and doing the same old shit in the same old town so I joined the military.
ATTEMPTED to do the online college thing after I got out a few years ago, didn’t make it through my first class.
I spent three weeks trying to pretend like I gave a shit about how Susey McFuckface and Joe Cocksucker felt about the ridiculous thing we were told to read and comment on for an assignment and said “fuck it, I’m out”.
