What You'll Wish You'd Known

sheck writes "Eminent computer scientist, author, painter, and dot-com millionaire, Paul Graham has written down the things he wishes somebody had told him when he was in high school in What You'll Wish You'd Known, suggesting, among other things, that students treat school like a day job, working on interesting projects to avoid what he has found to be the most common regret among adults of their high school days: wasting time."

Bullshit

[BriniestMark]

What retarded bullshit. All the people who told me that school is useless are making $15-$20 an hour at menial jobs, whereas I can't even GET a job. A BSc in Computer Science is worthless now (unless you count the student loans I needed to pay for it, in which case the degree is $40000 disaster). I wish I'd listened to those people, and just dropped out of grade 11 and gone to work at a mill.
