You know where else I met people who "enhance my experience... hold a conversation, work a problem..."? My job... I had some amazing conversations with the professors at my school. I thought that was what I was paying for, and then I got a job. Same conversations only instead of paying for it, your getting payed.
I hate to say it, but I firmly believe most colleges to be a scam. I flew through my certs, a job, and have learned more in the 4 months since then I did in 4 years at college. In fact the only thing I really found valuable were the books, the practice tests, and the lady who wrote my resume. The classes were boring, slow, and geared for mechanics trying to transition to a new field rather then nerds who have lived and breathed computers since middle school. If I had to do it over again I'd gladly trade the piece of paper for 4 more years of experience and networking.
"You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library."
Is it wrong to want to be in a pool of health conscious individuals? I eat healthy, exercise, and don't smoke ect. Why the hell should I have to pay for those who do?
