Finding a real job sucks COCK & BALLS!!!

[Warik]

Total would've been around 150K. I went to a private school in CT, but luckily I got a shit ton of aid, so I only owe about 35k to date, but it still sucks. I got fucking ass raped. It's amazing how college's can charge so much!!!

That's why I'm attending a local university. My tuition and books are fully paid by scholarship, but even if I had to pay every penny, it would have cost me only barely $12k... maybe even less considering the fact that I skipped a year due to HS credits. I could have gone to any of those BS "elite schools," but why am I going to waste my time going to an "elite school" to get the same education (i.e. none) that I would get at an "average school" and find myself with a debt that exceeds my starting annual salary by a factor of 3 or 4?

I've said it once and I'll always say it - education and government are the two most successful businesses in history that will never die for one good reason: they operate by coercion, that is, a voluntary exchange of goods by means of equivalent monetary compensation that is mutually agreed upon prior to the transaction NEVER takes place.

School doesn't mean shit.

An overpriced education is sometimes not worth it. Otherwise, the more education you get, the better off you are in the long run (as long as you planned ahead, made connections and get internships in your field during University).

um, why would you spend $150k on a B.S. in bio? every college offers that.

Some people think that attending certain "big name" universities would look good on C.V.

well, to make a long story short and not devalge to much info, i was supposed to go into the Medical field, and the university i went to offered the whole package, but once I got my B.S., there was no way I could handle another 4 years of college. I learned everything the hardway, as usual!!! I hope this makes it a little more clearer.

Cure, this was no big name school, but it was expensive as hell!!!

Instead of school we should just get highered by companies at the age of 14 and whoever succeeds in learning their trade and becomes efficient gets to keep their job. Not only that but by the age of 20 they will already have 6 years experience and will be sound financially. On the job training is the way to go!

What profession are you in?

Start working at 14? You have to work until you die, so at least enjoy a few years enlightening your mind.

The university makes a huge difference in several professions. If you are just learning skills, like computer programming, then most colleges will do. On the other hand, business degrees and other types of professional degrees are more influenced by the school's name.

Yep... you (I've been waiting to use this quote for days) dropped $150k on an education you could have gotten from $2.50 in late fees at the public library.

Don't feel bad... I'm doing it too and will be through in the Spring, but I'm busting my balls now to work in the mean time so I can have experience when I'm through.

-Warik

Still, many of the good jobs require at least a bachelor's. I have to get my master's now in order to get a decent research job. i'll probably be in school until i'm dead.

Point is that when you start at 14 your not actually working but training...along the lines of going to school...also if you start working at 16 certain companies let you retire after 30 years so that would make you only 46!! HMMM..46 and have money to retire or 65, grumpy and hardly able to walk....
