[QUOTE="aeser:557182"]Spaldino@werk said:[QUOTE]honestly, people dont really NEED college, or most of high school. i am proof of that, mentally atleast, since i dont have a piece of paper stating that i wasted money so i can get a job that TRAINS YOU for it anyway, i dont make a whole lot of money right now. with the rise of the internet and the amount of information available by default, college is just a place you go to spend 30k a year to fuck broads and get wasted in a different setting. hell... yesterday i was bored at work, so i looked up Plato and read a bunch of shit he wrote and other essays and whatnot based on Plato's philosophies and mindset. people PAY a lot to take classes based on that shit. hell... look up "human philosophy" in google and read away. Quantum Physics, Physics, geometry, algebra, history, psychology, and whatnot is all researchable ONLINE, for FREE (unless you count the 30 bucks a month it costs to have high speed intrawebs, LOL) and what's better, is that you can do all of this, in your own time, listening to whatever music you want, in 10 minute bursts to 3 hour stints. its just too easy now. the internet is a great tool to anyone. but its just a shame that people primarily use it to get off and be conceited assholes. it renders most college courses obselete... if you disagree then you would have to be braindead because its so blatantly obvious.[/QUOTE] the whole "you have to go to college or you'll have no future" mentality is stupid, college is good for a lot of things and you can learn a lot there, problem is most people don't. most people go into college right out of high school when they're 18 and don't have a clue about the world let alone what they want to do with their life let alone what they CAN actually possibly do with their lives and still make a living. which is why something like %95 of college grads end up in a job that has absolutely nothing to do with their degree. can a degree help you to get a job? shit yes. do you absolutely need one to get a job? of course not. some jobs require it and the higher up the foodchain of jobs you go they pretty much all require it, but shit, i'm a fucking high school dropout and i make $55k a year and have 10 years experience in IT and could get another job tomorrow if i had to. haven't updated my resume in 9 months but i still get at least 3-5 calls a week about jobs from people finding my shit on monster or dice. i think people should not be allowed into college until they're at least 25 years old, because at least at that point you've (hopefully) been out in the working world a bit and get exposed to what you can actually make a living off with a degree, so instead of going and getting an art degree or some shit like that like half the people i know (including myself as i was persuing an art degree at one point in my life and yes i was young and naive at the time) and then ending up in some fucking retail job i could have gotten without even knowing how to read, instead you can put that massive investment in a piece of paper to good use. there's also nothing wrong with just joining a union and say becoming an apprentice electrician or whatever. all you have to be is 18 years of age or older, and have passed at least high school algebra, and they PAY YOU to train, and give you health insurance, and pay you better than most jobs my graduate friends are working, and then when you become an actual liscenced electrician you start off making about $60k a year and it only goes up from there. you can make like $200k a year if you open your own business doing it. all with just a high school degree or GED. it sucks but in this society you should really just concentrate on what jobs are available/in demand out there/what pays well that you wouldn't mind doing so much, and get the degree that facilitates that, instead of just blindly going to college and studying whatever because college automatically equals "future". then coming out with like $120,000 in student loan debt and working some $7 an hour retail job.
