What is the point of college?

Here's my question to you since you seem to be the one with the most experience in this matter. At my IT school they offer programs for web designers including learning everything there is to know about Flash, Dreamweaver, basically all of CS3. What the hell is the point of going to college to get a degree in Media Studies with a focus in web design when I can get all of these certs for web design? Also you can get other tech certifications that really can help you out and the place even helps you find entry level jobs after you get your first certification. While college seems to drain your money for four years, and the stuff you learn at times seems really pointless and a waste of time. I mean I know having a college degree is said to be important but I ask you who is more qualified for a job. A guy who has just gotten by in college with a 2.5 GPA and has some degree in psychology or sociology or a guy who has passed all of these tech certifications, is younger and already has job experience?

Because everyone gets laid in college.cool_baller

Seriously getting laid is such a big deal to people. How sad.

There's really not any point to college. Except to get a piece of paper after 4+ YEARS of working your butt off.steelhokie123

A peice of paper that gives you a huge advantage over people that don't have that peice of paper.

not only that college isnt just about the education. It is a whole lot of fun.

It is sad that it is the biggest thing to people now a days. We have enough people in the world 6 billion we don't need anymore.

I don't really know. I go to a tech school also, and I've kinda learned that the trades you learn there are priceless. They're always needed, and from what I've seen your rarely out of work. Unlike someone who got a Bachelors in Communications, someone with a trade in say, Construction or Masonry is in high demand and can frequently move from job to job. How many places need people with "communications" degrees?mohfrontline

If you are in construction without a college degree. Your boss is probably the guy with a college degree, and he makes more money than you do.

The pursuit of higher education does appeal to some people. If you don't like it, some sort of trade school or apprenticeship may be the better way to go.Oleg_Huzwog

If you do it with someone you like and it's passionate, then it's not sad. ''Scoring'' or whatever you wanna call it, could seem pretty sad in some people's eyes.

By the way, I'm feeling more passionate about this subject when looking at your avatar. Do you feel the same when looking at mine? I'm telling you, this Carth Onasi avatar can drive the girls nuts here on Gamespot.

You should see some of the parties that we throw. You don't have to be a drunk ass frat boy to have fun (although the drunk part seems to happen often enough) I think you might be confusing nerds with dweebs or dorks or something. Nerds are just smart mother ****ers. Do you know how to make flash powder? I do:D
