University. dollar for dollar I would have been better off not going. I just
look at my peers for that one. We all make the same amount of money, I am
probably the median value there. (but I do know what median means for what
that is worth.). Subtract out the cost of an education and lost income (and
I did OK throughout school working parttime 15 - 20 hrs a week, and summer
jobs throughout, and fulltime + parttime in my last year of school). but the
net effect is obvious.
Value of University. Career path. And not as risky to change paths. I will
make more money changing careers than if I didn't go to school. Why. my
paper from U. that is all.
But what did I learn? Some pretty bad habits.
First year, I said, alright let's go, Dean's Honour list. GPA. I was a
little scared, I ain't gonna be no failure. So I worked reasonably hard. Got
the accolades and the GPA. yahooo!
But I also came to the realization that there was no limit to the amount of
work you could put in. except for time of course, the physical limitations.
There is always more to learn, and a higher degree of understanding.
The trick at school for me became how efficiently can you learn. How little
could be done to make the grade.
BTW. I learned how to party before I want to school, and for the record, I
thought those learner types were softasses around the keg.

I doesn't... if you had years of sitting around with nothing to useful to
do, you'd achieve exactly the same, college or not :-)
