You can eat healthy and exercise every day and drop dead when you are 25.
You can get a degree and be unsuccessful in finding the job of your dreams.
That's life folks. "There ain't no guarantees" is a cornerstone of mental health.
That's why I say if you want to go to school do it for something that is personally important to you. Something you will actively enjoy learning. And pay for it yourself as much as you can, if it takes you 10 years. For all the people I know that have a useless degree I know almost as many that have a useful degree in a field they hate.

I think college is good for learning, but thats about it.. How u apply and use what uve learned is sumthing u gotta learn for urself me thinks..
The way i see it, college is just high school for adults, cuz u can only go to high school for a few years see, but u can go to college forever! Pussy, money, and college, thats all a nigga need.

again, Near Dylan needs help with life questions- instead of being full-Dylan, and not giving a fuck.
Collage is for those whom have a clear-cut idea of what profession they want to pertain to. it's not for everybody, yet everyone drudges the institution up with their bullshit, ruining the capacity for a degree's valuation, for everyone else.
basically, at this point, it's a dog and pony show for those who are trying to learn new information- easily accessible, at this point, on the internet, for free.

I already went to college. Just wanted to spark conversation and see the general consensus of the usefulness of "collage". Interestingly enough it seems to vary drastically from person to person

because it entirely depends on their purview of their time spent/wasted.
that's, at least, what i've noted, here in this thread.
and which is an odd thing to focus on when it comes to such an important element of our growth in society, from childhood onward, when one wants to claim that it's "so great"...because clearly there is something wrong here.
frankly, highschool should be done away with and college started early. or at the very least, cut schooldays in half, and halt homework, and hone in on a more productive study plan to coerce children to pay more attention in school; could get twice the work done in half the time, like Finland does...although, maybe that might not apply to our "rowdy" young demographic- though that also seems like to change soon. annoying brat hoodlum kids are out now (which is good, definitely; but not at all predictable, i could just be seeing a temporary trend in the media.)
but getting whatever certificate, nonetheless, that one is working long and hard for, is something that is impossible to not admire, to at least some extent...i admire it greatly- especially when that someone is happy and fulfilled, and knew exactly what they wanted to do- even if it's not all of what gets done- because that is just hard work, and that's worth the admiration.
simply having an opinion on school and education can very easily and readily mean nothing. i mean, it's how we raise our children into adults in this world...if we can't rely on that, then that speaks very ill of us, as people. yet, time and time again, we discuss how things can be improved...and school is just one of those things that people always tend to dime on...probably because most of those people don't actually work in schools....

In case this hasn't been said:
DON'T GO TO COLLEGE!
Unless you are getting a STEM degree, there's no point. You will just get indoctrinated into thinking everything wrong in your life is someone else's fault and the only thing you should value are your differences and that all people face oppression because some other group oppresses them based on those differences.
Make sure, if you do go to college that you can get a real job when you get out. Which means no liberal arts. Because if you go liberal arts, you have to go for more schooling and more schooling before you qualify to teach at a college. And then you'll teach at a college....or else choke on debt your whole life and blame the government for it instead of the fact that you didn't do any research before deciding to go to college.
Go to trade school.

What does being a minority have to do with that?
Everybody wants that.

It doesn't matter if you're a minority or majority. A good, high paying job is a good, high paying job for anybody.
One of my friends/coworkers is black. His mom works at a gas station and his dad is a janitor. My friend went to college and is now a software engineer.
If you want something then go get it.

That has nothing to do with anything. You can do what you want.
What do you want to do? After college, I mean.

And the OP doesn't even know what he wants to do, presumably.
Seems like a big gamble for an outcome that hasn't even been considered.
I think the worst thing this guy should do is go to college. Figure out what you want to do first.
