But I hear the same damn story from my wife...she's got two medical degrees...went to school forever, owes fuckloads of money because of college loans...
And me, her hubby...
Smoked a whole fuckload of pot in high school, was really violent, had a terrible attitude towards education, and got expelled...
TWICE!
Then...never went and scored a GED, never went took a single course in college...
And I've supported my unemployed wife...
And our baby...just fine...for almost 4 years now.
And no...I'm not a laborer...
I sit in a comfy office in the penthouse of a high rise office building.
I'm so glad I didn't waste my time with college.
That's not to say I'm not educated now though...
I've matured...decided I wanted to learn about life, history, whatever...
So I read, I research...I learn about it on my own.
I don't need some opinionated professor telling me what to read and how to think.
Wow at you.
And sorry too.

I'm glad things worked out for you. I have no doubt things are going to work out for me too, even if it's not over-night. Not everyone who goes to college has a problem finding a job, it all depends on the field you choose.
I don't regret the time I spent in college for anything. It made me a better person, and it's something I'm really proud of. I never thought of my prof's as opinionated people who told me how to think. In fact, they encouraged us to make up our own minds and become our own person. It wasn't a waste of time at all. If anything, it was time/money extremely well spent.
