@Warped Genius That's the problem with (especially liberal arts) college graduates. They say things like "you even get to" when referring to people that opted-out of college. As though having a piece of paper means they're automatically more qualified for a job than us. While you can learn a hell of a lot in college, you can also learn a hell of a lot more by an extra 4 years in the workforce.

So don't be condescending just because someone mentions they didn't get a degree. It's just school- one way to spend 4 years of your life. Not an automatic job qualification.

College seems to be a status symbol to so many.It is also a huge waste of money to so many others.No college does not mean your more better or more qualified than someone straight out of highschool and into the workforce.Even long before our economic disaster college was no guarantee for even the best of students.But hell if you got a trust fund or are fortunate to have someone else pay for it , then I guess you will probably not even care about any of this.I ain't no fortunate son.

Please wait...
