    That piece of paper is worth it... but if you really hate it and you're not past second year, then drop and do something you like. If you're past second year then you might as well just finish.

    I'm in 6th year

          You're better off just sticking with it. Find something to keep you happy in the mean time. It's worth it in hindsight.

            To be honest bro, I had my first class this morning at 8:30am and it was a bitch to wake up for but there were madddd cuties in the class so I went to the barber after, got cleaned up, bought the text book, and did the first two readings. Now I can't wait to get to the next class and show some little hottie that I should be her study buddy for the semester.

            I have to find the little things cause I hate school but believe me, studying ain't so bad when you're getting some play before/during/after.

              Good point there. Guess I've got to look at the positives like that. Will check back in a few hours from class.

                Drop out and learn a trade. odds are when you graduate you will be unable to find a job in your field and will take something just to get by and it will be your career. Take it from me a college graduate going through the same shit. The piece of paper is worthless. 0 jobs for educated people and you are not going to be any different. Everyone thinks when they graduate they will have it made with a degree but you will be working min wage doing a job you hate. I am telling you college is a scam, wish I never went. Learn a trade. Pipe fitters are hot now and make good money. Do not go into debt any more with college.

                    Some truth to this stmt. College got really over-priced!

                    That said, think of the game in terms of supply/demand and how much it costs for u to get there. Very true that a good trade is a good route to go. Especially if u find something u like to do. Plenty of things people don't like to do - they'll pay for it!

                      Depends what you're majoring in. Majors like Engineering or Finance are worth it. You shouldn't have even gone to college if you're majoring in something like Communications or Sociology though.

                          Not worth it unless it is related to Finance or Sciences.

                                Yep. Accounting and Finance are probably two of the best business majors. Try to stay away from business majors like Hospitality Management, Marketing, and 'general' Business Administration.

                                Business and STEM majors are the best majors for going to college if grad school (pre-med/pre-law) isn't in your plans.

                                  Going 80,90, 100k+ in debt for a degree is no longer worth it.

                                    SO BEFORE YOU DROP OUT ASK YOURSELF DO I WANT TO BE JJGOLD THAT SHOULD SCARE THE KID INTO STAYING IN SCHOOL

                                    YOU CANT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT A DEGREE THESE DAYS EVEN THE KIDS ON THE BOSTON POLICE FORCE ARE NOW ALL COLLEGE EDUCATED.IN THE OLD DAYS YOU GOT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND TRIED TO BECOME A COP AND GET A GOOD SALARY NOW YOU NEED A COLLEGE DEGREE TO EVEN DO THAT.

                                    THE AVERAGE SALARY FOR A BOSTON COP IS 100,OOO DOLLARS BENGALS DO THE RIGHT THING GET A DEGREE AND MOVE TO BOSTON AND TRY AND BECOME A BOSTON COP

                                        Just got to class. Nothing but fat oger chicks. DJs plan not applicable in this situation. Considering walking out of class before instructor calls my name.

                                              College for most people does nothing but put you in a lot of debt that you cannot get out of

                                              Go to specialty school instead and learn a trade

                                                    If parents are paying sit back and enjoy the next 4-5 years. Don't study too hard, go party, bang chicks. College was too much fun to describe. And if you want to work in corporate America, you will need the degree.

                                                    However, if you are paying, do not continue until you decide you want it. Makes no sense to go into debt for something you do not want to do.

                                                    Good luck.

                                                      My parents said they'd pay for college...I was making 16 an hour straight out of high school working.

                                                      I thought to myself "have my parents spend 14K a year or would I rather make 30K+ a year being 18 and have them save their money for themselves?"

                                                      I told them to save their money since they paid for my brother and straight out of college he was only making 45K a year.


                                                      Probably the best decision I ever made, but I wouldn't of made it if I didn't have a nice job secured. If you have no skills then go to college if you can grab a "decent" job now and don't care for school, don't fukkin waste the time/money.

                                                        That is a choice NOT a reality.

                                                        It does not cost near that if you give it any thought.

                                                            Go to specialty school instead and learn a trade
                                                            Bingo. I have a college degree and let me tell you unless you are a Dr, lawyer, or accountant, or engineer , a college degree is worthless.

                                                            you gotta specialize. not once in an interview hqs someone said oh yeah you have a college degree? prove it..

                                                            these days almost everyone has a degree. its all who you know, not what you know.

                                                            join a frat and become friends with the rich kids whose dads own companies and maybe they will hook you up with a good job.

                                                              best decision i ever made. dropped a couple g's to get all of my computer certifications and will use it as a backup when/if we ever move. in the meantime i now have all my insurance licenses and doing pretty well for myself.

College seriously just cripples people in debt, but if you have aspirations to be a doctor, teacher, lawyer, etc.. you obviously need to get that stupid piece of paper. For the most part, many people generally put themselves in debt now without having any idea what they want to do, and get a meaningless degree they possibly never use.

                                                                    If you stay in school, make sure you have a directed path. If you don't know what it is you want to do, you're screwed and will end up like me.
