Is college just a bunch of BS?

Question

I am currently a student at a state university. As I grew up I heard that college was suppose to be the time of your life as well as a great intellectual experience. What I have experienced first hand is just a jarder version of high school. All that is different is that you have to read and study more academic wise. The kids here are pretty much the same as back in high school except for the ones who didn't try at all to pass classes back in high school. The same popular kids in high school ( the roided out football and lacross players who joined the team even though they were not even good) are the same popular kids here ( I.E. Frat Boys). Not all frat boys are tools, some are pretty good guys but alot seem to carry on that "elitist" mindset from highschool and just talk a bunch of sh*t for no reason. I hear from ppl that these same people dominate the future workforce I will be entering soon. So what do all you ppl out there think about college, give some feedback..thanks

Answer 1

You shouldn't go to college, just so you can say "I went to college". It doesn't help if you end up flipping burgers at McD's

You need to have a Goal, a Target. Law? Medicine? Engineering? You need a degree in thses fields.

Otherwise, you might as well join the military and start a career. Don't knock the military- they always need bright young people, and if your temperament is right they will even help you with college- later down the track.
