I hate how people think they need to go to college to get an "education&quo

[QUOTE="Fuhgeddabouditt"]I just dont like the fact that college cost too much. I dont get why one must pay thousands of dollars to be lectured and then to buy very expensive books. I guess its a way to even things out in society I guess. rawsavon

If I knew any better, I would've searched the Internet for books.

I spent 250 dollars on an Algebra book with 16 chapters. We covered 4 chapters. We almost covered none of them because my professor told us that she didn't want to teach us out of the book because it was "written by men".

TBH, the cost of education is legit. The cost of books, on the other hand, is a crime...a total scamrawsavon

Yep, it is out of control. I think they get away with it since student loans are more or less like a credit card. Hearing that you don't have to pay for it now and that you have a low interest rate on your loan helps people forget just how much money they're actually spending. Once you're done though, and those first payments kick in, it becomes a lot more real.

No ****
Tell me about it

I enjoyed going to college since it gave me a structured learning process when before I had been all over the place, and my lecturers were able to engage me in debates which were insightful and hardly obvious. I could have read a book or watched documentaries, but it's not the same.

Getting a degree also shows you can truck along in an establishment, and work well with people, and can show respect without resentment and stuff.

But yes, you don't 'need' to go to college. Nobody 'needs' to go to college.

Why is it that people who can't get into university / college feel the need to belittle it at every opportunity? Is it to make themselves feel better?karriston

Yep, same thing happened to my wife. They were required to buy the professor's book even though they never actually used it for more than one or two small assignments. It wasn't 300 dollars but it was still ridiculous.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="Fuhgeddabouditt"] Why is it that people who attend university/college feel the need to belittle others who dont at every opportunity? Is it to make themselves feel better? Face it, there is a lot more of people who attend that belittle people who dont. 95% of the students i've met in college are some of the most big headed, stuck up arrogant people ive every met that always feel they are better than others outside of uni. But there are some down to earth people that I have met but it was slim i'll tell ya :)surrealnumber5

I think you are on to something because so far with my career I have no needed my college degree.CyleM

What do you do?

Personally, I don't have to be at the top of my class...if I have a skill I can sell to a industry then it's fine.

[QUOTE="CyleM"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] I didn't even recognize you :shock: You are in a bad spot b/c of family stuff though. Otherwise you could take that experience and leave (what most people do with their first job after college) -you get put in a spot, and it is often hard to get out (especially if you are really good at your job)rawsavon

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="CyleM"] Yeah I thought to put a little happier spin on Snake and on life, we will see how long it lasts. Yes I know i am in a bad spot but I hope one day soon I will be able to get out of here. Even though I just got a promotion that went into effect today I am doing the exact same job but now make just a little more. The only bad thing that sucks about the promotion is now I can't really apply for any other jobs in the company cause I have to stay at the position for one full year before I can apply for something else, unless I get special permission to do it. Who knows, I might try another company or just be a teacher so I would only have to work 9 months a year and then play games the rest of the time!CyleM

Well, at least you got a promotion and a raise without any new responsibility?

We haven't had raises in 2 years now.

and change

um true you can still learn a lot of stuff without going to college, but if you don't go to college, you can't get that degree, therefor you can't get as good of a job, which is what we all really want, that's basically what our first 20 years are preparing us for, right?
