Anyone feel like college is a waste? Options

problem w/ school is they are now out to make money. Seeing how they act and how many fees they charge it has become a business. Considering how much "public" state funded schools charge.

On the other hand, you have to have a degree for job security...because in today's society there is no security. & its alot easier to find a job with a degree. My two cents...

But all i want is a stable job where I can support a family and not have to sell my celica

actaully its not the schools out to make the money. its the government that actually raises tuition. they are the ones who are taking your hard earned money to go to college. plus my college has had a 50%increse in tuition for last 3 years making it arguably a more expensive colleges to go to now in wisconsin.

YES YES YES YES,

ahh for 27,000 $$$ for my college which is around 110,000$$$ in DEBT when i graduate to maybe 150,00$$ for a masters, i could play some bastard at Yale to forge a piece of paper saying i graduated from there.


its a damn waste of time for me, since i want to be a stock broker and well they dont have classes for that, and i know what im doing.

i dread going back there.

i believe in the computer area you dont really need a degree, but it is a lot easier to make yourself learn when you are being graded on it. everything you learn in college you could learn on your own from reading...

college just means youre more of a slave of doing what you are told.

Um, i dropped out of college after like 3 months and i had barely graduated from highschool. Only reason i didnt drop out was for my mom. I am in the television industry. (cameraman) I have never once been asked to provide a degree or even a resume, and neither has anyone i know. In this business it's all about WHO and WHAT you know. So the worth of college all depends on what field you plan to work in.
In my opinion college is worthless because iit provides a lot of worthless information but does nothing to increase skill.
