futures Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm 4 years out of college, no loans left, no debt besides a few thousand left on my car and am working in my field in a well-paid position. ROASTED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCandless Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Assuming college is the same as our uni: It's different for everyone all depenending on what industry/job you want to do. Could a doctor not go to college and still succeed? Nope. I'm an electrical designer and I got an apprenticeship at 16 and just learned on the job. People coming out of 'college' now are starting with no additional knowledge than me, on a lower wage and £10,000+ debts to start paying off. Every situation is different, just depends what you want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonesomexloveus Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 most jobs with a decent salary require at least a bachelor's in something. just sayin'. yes, the price of college is indeed ridiculous, but they've got ya over a barrel.

lonesomexloveus Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I believe that was my point...next time ill try to remember to use less words. your point was that college was so expensive that it was a waste of money. my point was that while it's expensive, it's almost become a necessary evil if you want a decent paying job at any point in your life. i realize that there are exceptions to this, they just seem to be few and far between.

Maybe because I did it by busting my ass, I have the thought process wrong. But obviously there are jobs that require extra education.

None of us have wealthy parents either. I do agree that it is a nessicary evil. I don’t want to assume anything but you seem to be implying that people who went to college do not bust ass. I think it’s awesome that you are successful and didn’t need a degree to get where you are. I wish that was more common. You think I’m the exception, not the rule… I think the same about you.

There are stupid people in college and stupid people not in college. Your point is as moot as they come man. Plenty of people have busted their ass without college and ended up with nothing to show for it. It doesn't make you better either way.

I don’t want to assume anything but you seem to be applying that people who went to college do not bust ass. I think it’s awesome that you are successful and didn’t need a degree to get where you are. I wish that was more common. You think I’m the exception, not the rule… I think the same about you. nope nope, dont put "that people who went to college do not bust ass" in my words. Did not say that, just pointing out that college is not the only way to be successful. That being said, I am most likely working my ass off to put my girls through college. Thats what im about, being successful to provide for my family, and if my girls want to go to college, then they are going to college.
