I read an article talking about college's economic value, saying it has gotten ridiculously expensive.

but, then the article exposed the price of not going to college... and, well, college might not be worth it in of itself, but considering the alternative, selling your soul to the student loan devil is still better than minimum wage.

/ dnrtfa, but, I read some other article so there

74 percent of graduates from four-year colleges say that their education was "very useful in helping them grow intellectually." Sixty-nine percent said that "it was very useful in helping them grow and mature as a person" and 55 percent claimed that "it was very useful in helping prepare them for a job or career."


Just be happy with your intellectual growth and maturity and STFU. Who needs a job anyhow?

All of the above.

I went into college with an associate's degree in bud light.

I came out of college with a Ph. D. in Oud Bruin.

During the latter half of my childhood, I was growing up out in the boonies. I think the greatest takeaway from college was to experience four years of high speed internet.

Best seven years of my life! (Had to work off semesters to pay my way through)

Plus I got all the crazy out of my system - by year seven I was ready to grow up and settle down - played in a band, drank too much on many occasions, got good enough grades somehow, woke up in other towns with strange women, etc. Still managed to get a useful engineering degree (which I still use 20 years later).

Wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

Killer Cars: During the latter half of my childhood, I was growing up out in the boonies. I think the greatest takeaway from college was to experience four years of high speed internet.

God's honest truth, online porn in college got me into computers and it's been a career ever since. I detoured for a while as a mechanical engineer, but IT ended up being far more lucrative, although I try to keep my skills up in both areas.

I still remember the magic day I figured out how to configure SLIP on my dorm room machine and use the higher speed serial connection to my school's network to get teh porn. It was all downhill from there!

I never went and am doing quite well. My sister went to a big Ivy league school back east and majored in American Indian female habits or some shiat. I believe my dad paid around $20k or more a year for that.

Will finish in 5.5 years counting next semester. I hated high school. So a school where you could not go to class was incredible to me as a freshman. So I didn't go, again, and again, and again. Not proud.

Graduated last spring. I valued the experience, education, beer, and tail, but I'm not doing anything related to my degree.

Sybarite: A) Tail B) Beer

I would reverse A) and B). Beer often leads to tail. From there, there's 2 options. It's either you start the loop again (beer-->tail) or you keep getting tail with some beer.

Undergrads take it to excess. Grad students are functional alcoholics.
