I regret going to college
Going to college has the biggest rip-off ever. My entire Young Life in school I was told make something of yourself and go to college. So I ended up going to college and the best job I've ever had after graduating is $12 an hour. Going to college is useless and I feel sorry for all the Schmucks that are graduating they have no idea what is coming to them.

I've done everything possible to better my life and that is going nowhere. You bash people for making minimum wage and being poor. Well I've been to college and I am still poor.

Re: I regret going to college
I agree about college being a waste of time and money. But the reason you're not getting over $12 an hour is not because you went to college

Re: I regret going to college
I’m in my 60s. I would tell you to take ANY white collar job to get a foot in the door, plan on working your way up. You don’t hear much about that anymore.

Or...move someplace where you can have a life on $12 an hour. Someplace with $200,000 houses in safe neighborhoods. And just live a life. There’s a lot to be said for that—you don’t need to be rich to be happy, just have enough an a little extra.

Re: I regret going to college
Did you major in a field where you could get a job? Inconveniently those majors tend to be the harder ones.

No way dude. If you didn't major in something stupid all you have to do is study for a CPA in accounting.

Or get certified in a computer skill.

with that degree and a skill you are gold.

Re: I regret going to college
I went to a business college and I'll share a little story with you. It was 2007 I was pursuing an associates in IT and one of the required courses was Critical Thinking. The instructor was a wafe soi boy who smoked pole and attempted to "redefine" family structure and push his beliefs on the students. At first it wasn't obvious he had us watch a movie called 'Memento' which wasn't bad and kinda fit the "critical thinking" aspect of the class. It wasn't until he played 'Torchsong Trilogy' that his agenda became apparent. The movie was about a gay man his lover and a son he had "before he was gay". The assignment was basically a written opinion piece on how our concept of family had been changed by the movie. So I of course had no change in opinion. During our class discussion I (as well as most of my class) took the stance that yes family has changed but we did not consider the "Gay family" as a replacement as he suggested it was. Myself and several others received a lower grade than those who agreed with him. At the time I was maintaining a full time job working overnight at a ware house and a 3.8 GPA, so to say I was pissed about this "C" would be an understatement. The class and I attempted to resolve this with the teacher to no avail leaving no other recourse than taking our complaint to the administration. In less than 6 hours this individual was removed from their position and replaced before next class, this was also accompanied by a formal apology from the Dean. I'll never forget what Mr. W said in regards to the former instructor... he poked his head into the class looking at each of us and said, "guess the AIDS got'm huh?"

Rest in peace Mr. W

With a Technical School diploma usually obtained by x4 2month semesters spread over a year, and you would be making $20/hr probably.

If I had to go back I would focus more on agriculture and horticulture. I like the study of ecology and took a PDC a couple of years back. Unfortunately it does not pay the bills. Maybe if I started earlier and bought enough land to homestead but I am afraid that will have to wait until I retire or they retire me.

Very true.

I wasted 4 yrs at a Liberal Arts college, too. Never used my degree.

I would recommend learning a trade or coding or something like that, before ever going to college.

Take the money you would have spent at school, and get a nice little house or travel before you settle down.

College is not for everyone and that is o.k.
