I know it's crazy right, but you are probably interested in something out there, whether it be math or engineering or liberal arts or economics or ANYTHING. Even if you don't get a degree in something that makes a shit load of money, I think the time invested would still be worth it and plus college is a shit ton of fun (or so I've heard, still in hs). Eh, not so much. The fun comes from the experience of true independence, doing whatever the hell you want, and partying a lot. Especially due to having an average of two-three hours of class total a day that you get to pick when it is, and there's no mandatory hw so you can procrastinate a lot, kinda like I am doing now as I have a final worth 60% of my grade tomorrow. On that note... | ||

Even, if sometimes it gets hard and stuff, most of the time you really grow up while going through college, and it makes you appreciate life in a more "grown up" way, if you may. To cut it short, Go to college, and learn your shit. | ||

If you drop out of college before your degree is done, you won't have much to show for it. The biggest financial gain from college comes from completing your degree. On the other hand, you can quit your job any time, especially if you're young enough not to have financial commitments. So why not start working first, and then if you feel you would like to upgrade your skills, either quit to pursue a degree or take a correspondence course/night classes while working? That way you won't get stuck in anything longer than you want to, and you'll be able to only take courses you feel are useful to your career advancement. | ||

The "pay to network" thing is exaggerated by many, but you have to admit there is an ounce of truth to it. Assuming you don't hang out with the druggies, you're going to be in a peer group of people who are looking to be successful / looking to use their majors to get jobs / get things done in real life. Where else are you going to find a similar group of people? I agree with that. The people you meet at a school like Harvard are going to be essential to your success. Think about it. Some of your friend's parents are going to be CEOs, Vice Presidents, etc. of big companies. | ||
