    yeah.

    but that's the moment I begin to feel pity about them. just imagine...living inside a box and, most important, not even knowing it...

    damn!!

      On the flip side you could join the military, do a 4-6 year hitch and also learn a trade, dunno if they still do it that way, but my uncle and dad both left as certified electricians. I think there are a number of unions(pipe fitters, electricians, curb and gutter, etc.) that do low paying apprenticeships these days as well... granted this isn't a degree, but it is education. however, as with both paths laid out in this thread above, it would require ambition to do something with yourself after that point. Execution, whether you are college educated or not, is everything.

        You're completely right,

        I spent 7 years at the college and 99 pct. of the people there are sheep, no matter what specialization.

        They're manufacturing qualified monkeys.

          to say one route is the ONLY route is kind of "inside of a box" a little, isnt it?

            When I was 28 I got bored and went to college full time just to see what the fuss was about, mainly to check out the girls...lol.

            When you are 28 and go to college it's almost embarrassing how easy it is once you've worked in the real world. It's pretty much a joke.

            People go to college when they are 18 and they remember it as being difficult. A bachelors degree is TOTALLY worthless. A masters degree gives you a bit of useful info, but not much. A PHD is the only thing worth anything.

              the best is when you get a group of college kids from the same class in a group and have a debate and their opinions are all the same (of the professor) and they do not realize it.

              i just wanted to congratulate some of you fools you spent $xx,xxx+ to be taught to work a 9-5 and not think outside the box. you have made my life so much easier.

              while you spent 4 years learning bullshit i spent 4 years doing business.

              then some of you have the nerve to complain when you cant find a job because you dont have any expierience.

              Since you did not go to college get used to the fact that a pretty good percentage of people especially women will think you are inferior to people who went. Just a fact. You have a permanent loser limp for not having gone.

                the above statement is not true you can always lie and say you went to college, unless they work in your hr department who cares. also there are losers from both sides of the track, some people benefit from college some don't. If the end goal is money and not happiness then your probably fucked anyway. I don't make alot of money but I look at porn all day while im getting paid. I went to college but wether i did or didn't I would of ended up in the same place. Happy.

                              You are very young grasshopper. Yes, you could lie to cover the deficiency....
                              And you are not making much now but we all know on average college grads more more and a lot more then non college grads over the course of their lives. I did not go to college and I find it a real regret. Having fun for 4 years and then having that paper does not seem a bad deal in hindsight. And in my different lines of work I never would have used.

                                It's easy for webmasters to say that college is a waste of time, especially if you've been doing this for several years. A lot of us started before colleges even taught this stuff, so it's very hard to justify going now.

                                Sometimes I'll see some kid say on a forum that he wants to go to college for web design and whatnot, but I never respond to them. From my side of the fence, again, having been here since pre-boom era, it's hard to say how new people should go about it nowadays.
