Thats awesome to see so many folks going to higher education, for those who are just starting... in my personal opinion, wait a bit, or you should at least know what you want to do before you go in, when I was going to college, honestly I didn't know what I was going to be and just followed and took whatever courses the few guys at my college was going, at the time being an Engineer was the big thing and so thats all the courses I took...and they were hard too, now I look back and I think to myself, those two years of my life, even though it was for education, was wasted away...I'm not even in that field anymore, I don't remember hardly half the stuff I learned then.
If you decide to go straight into college make sure you know what you want out of your education or you'll spend alot of time wasted and money wasted if you're flipping alot of the bill from your own pocket. At the very least I say take courses so you can at least be a teacher when you get out. AT the very least! That way you'll have some sort of job. I remember going to my sister's graduation and alot of folks I saw graduate with a major in General STudies.... I mean for realz? Hopefully they can get some sorta teaching job.
Basically, I'm saying don't go to college if you're just going to be wasting your time, college is not needed untill you know you need it and you know what you want to be.
Also, I see alot of awesome major's in here as well as major's I'm thinking "how are you going to make money with that?!?!" Please don't be offended, back in the day my sister when she went to college said she was going to become a marine biologist and I told her, how is she going to make money with that!?!?!? Good thing reality hit her and she became a RN, now she's banking. So I wanted to ask all of the one's with a degree in whatever, how are you folks fairing in your financial life? Did the degrees help you out any?
I do see alot of folks with multiple degrees from multiple colleges and was wondering if all those colleges helped out as well, did they?
Now for me, I'm going to say I don't have any kinda degree which is obvious and not making that much money honestly still living check to check. Could it be due to lack of education? Could be...
So please commet!
Quite interesting really...
