honestly, the majority of the more intelligent people I know never went to post secondary at all. and the rest are all sitting in college simply because they can live off mommy and daddy's college savings fund and their student loans.

not the case for everyone, but college & university is definitely not educating any type of genious on the grand scale. unless you want to be a doctor or nurse, scientist, or engineer or something that will genuinely require further education, you don't need university.

i think one of the worst things to ever happen in this world was making education a business.
bingooo you get out of school and its like "wtf do i do now" if you arent rich you are stuck at square one again anyway. it is all about expierience.

who are you going to hire a guy who has proven to be in the industry or a kid fresh of out college who thinks he knows the industry. i will put my money on the guy who has already worked in the industry everytime.

Altough I've learned a FEW useful things about how things are going in this world, I still think that going to a college was a big waste of time, energy and money.

But that itself was a lesson for me, so here I am.

And one more thing: if your daddy is not somebody, forget about going to college...
bingo it's for rich kids whose daddy is going to find their way for them. the worst are these kids who take useless courses just so they can say they are in college.
