I used to pay around $11.000/year for my tuition. It has to be a better way. I dropped out of college a few months ago and my older friends laugh at me when I tell them how much I am making on the internet. Yes, I make half of what they make, but it only took me a few months. They had to go through 4 even 5 years of college plus the tuitions fees (probably well over $30.000). Give me 4 years and $30.000. I am pretty sure I'll triple their income. And not to mention that I work only a few hours/day. It still amazes me how narrow-minded and easy to manipulate people are.

Still, I agree that it's a necessity unless a person has something to fall back on that's already established and working for them. "You join steve jobs and bill gates in the no college success department. not too shabby". Thanks. I'm not Jobs or Gates but I appreciate the kudos :).

I think its more important to build up your social skills in highschool and college. As far as learning, not much was done when i was in college. You learn by doing.

Examples -- foreign language and european history. I went to a liberal arts college, so I definitely had a plethora of boring stuff shoved down my throat that I had no desire to learn either.

Having boring stuff shoved down my throat in high school was fine, but I expect more from college. College is supposed to give you real life skills and knowledge that you will be able to apply. The stuff I was learning was not going to help me and therefore it was just wasting my time and energy. I love learning too, but only things that I’m interested in.
