Topic: Should I Go To College ??? - page 67. (Read 28135 times)

People can always combine study and work. It is certainly difficult to do, but if you have a goal then nothing is impossible. Bill gates wasn't always rich and their ideas he began to implement it during the study. I hope you will succeed.

Everything depends on what goals you set for yourself. If you need a good job, then you need to go to college, and if you want to do business or investing, then college is not needed.

Go to local community college, and complete either your associates degree, OR all the classes a local 4 year college will let you transfer.

It's dirt cheap, and if you bomb out you won't be out a lot of money.
If you decide two years is enough you can finish the AA and have SOME sort of qualification.
If after all that time you are still committed (and you will have more maturity by then to know) you transfer to 4 year and only pay the big bucks to finish your degree - though choose an in-state college that is hopefully close enough to home you can live with your folks.

Yes it will help you a lot if your seeking a professional career. If you go to college their will be more opportunities will be given to you. It's different if you have a degree lot of people will be proud of you especially your parents and be sure that the course you choose will enhance and improve your main skills. Be sure that it is the course you really want.

it depends on your standards , i mean depend's on the state of your family , if they need your help alot.. i mean , u doesnt have that much .. , then its better to study well and end in way that your going to get a permanent job. But if your'e super rich like bill gates , mark .. etc.. , then there's no need to rush . another thing is it really depends on your goal.

We are stuck with a pattern of civilization where education has special strength to make you easy to enter parliament or ranks of the company, it turns out effective education is preferred because our brains will get an effective quality booster. Colleges are the highest level in the search for tiers of formal status.

Only go to college if you can get into a decent one. Going into a shitty college will just land u with a big bill and probably loads of debt with little to show for it.

Entering would help you for experience and opening opportunities. So go for it.

Yes STEM is a good way to start prepare for college. It has many opportunities in this field in all sciences. If OP can afford for college, go for it! Though information is available anywhere esp in internet, youtube etc but still its a good way to enter college and experienced a college life. 

If you can afford to pay for it then don't think it twice.

yes college will help. learn STEM field

I guess you should. If ever i am in your position I would pursue and study more. Well that depends on each person. I just love to study and read. If I would live a very long time I wanted to study more subjects, more courses and more programs. It is. really great opportunity if you are given a chance to study.

But to be honest. Most the people in the top richest man in the world is college drop out. So this made me actually confused. I think to become successful, you need passion to pursue your dreams and achieve it and not by becoming a professional only.

Go to college to attained an degree of your choice and it give's more opportunities in having a well paid job... 

Yes, you should. Just imagine how many youths that don't have the opportunity to go to college. Look at you, you are very lucky and yet you are deciding whether to go or not. Unless you are planning to add yourself to be one of those sickening society.

After flunking out of a state university and blowing any grants and what-not I worked for a while and also did 3 years in the military for the army college fund (which was fairly generious at the time, and also it was pretty safe in terms of going into battle back then.)

After that I was actually ready to go to school and had some earning potential.  I did a transition program at a junior college.  Learned a lot and paid for it without taking out student loans.  Ultimately I dropped out in my senior year of civil engineering because the dot-com bubble created opportunities and I had learned some about programming as a kid (who had a C-64 computer to play with.)  Also, after seeing and thinking about how and what civil engineers actually did, I didn't think I wanted to be one all of my life.

My main point would be that I found it the case that the lowly junior collage actually provided a discernably better education in some areas.  In this case the math department was fantastic.  Head and shoulders above the university.  The smart and dedicated high school students (mostly Asian immigrants) set the standards which probably helped, but the staff were also a big factor.

If you actually want to learn shit, I think you can do so effectively at any institutution.  Sappy as it sounds, 'you get out of it what you put in.'  I've been out of it for so long that I don't know whether it is practical to get through with minimal or no student loans at this point, but if so, and if one has the maturity and interest, I'd say go for it.  Else, spend a few years digging ditches which may improve one's attitude.  Just don't develop debt or start a family during this phase or school will probably never be a realistic option.

Also, in retrospect, I feel that school is scientifically design to dampen thought and creativity and produce certain kinds of people who display certain kinds of behaviors deamed desirable by TPTB.  This from pre-school through post-doc.  School (with the possible exception of certain elite institutions for certain people) also will dilligently NOT teach certain things and discourage further exploration of them (e.g., 'what money actually is'.)  If one can understand and watch for this, one can get what school has to offer without letting them fuck up one's head to much.

There are many reasons to go college or not, some people face financial crises and that time you need to complete your college and get job to fullfil the basic needs of your family.
People go for college for better life in future via better job.

Depend on your financial situation and also what you want to be when you grow up. Basically if you have a qualification, a better chance for you to search for a job rather than have nothing.

I would only go if its a good Party College.

Don't go, life is short. You may find out that by the time you've finished the market has changed completely and nobody wants people with your skills.
If I could go back in time I'd drop out and don't waste my life on useless education. I know it's easy to say now when I've graduated, but I don't feel like it has helped me in life.
