I dropped out of college. Couldn’t afford to keep going. But thats OK, I was in the Air Force and had a very strong electronics background from that. What I have always found amusing is the almost complete waste of degrees that most people get.

This is wonderfully covered over at Just One Bite…

You don’t need a degree to sell shoes. Many (most?) jobs that now require a generic Bachelor’s degree would actually have better-prepared candidates if they were given a year of specialized training and an internship, if that. Where have apprenticeships gone? Why do we encourage everyone to go to a four-year school when they would learn more relevant job skills at a trade school?

I love how Eden even covers the ever popular MRS degree.

I earned my MRS degree at State U. College costs keep rising, and though most students have their education significantly subsidized, that just means that taxpayers and alumni are footing the bill rather than the student and his family. I’ve heard people say that college is important more for the social time — networking and dating — than the classes. Boy, that’s a long, expensive party. As conflicted as I am on this subject, since I need federal financial aid, I hate that my taxes are paying for Sue Lynn’s frat party tit flash to be the most significant event of her junior year, especially if I don’t get a look.
