Oh my, don't get me started on college!
I'm so happy I dropped out of that waste.
I thought I was the only one!
I genuinely *am* proud to be a college dropout. Almost wish I
had dropped out of high school, because that would have
prevented me from wasting all that time, money and sanity on
college.
Most people think I'm nuts when I tell them I *want* to never
have a degree ('Course, most people are morons...) But even if
it does put me at a disadvantage in what are really only a few
isolated cases (contrary to what sheeple are lead to beleive),
it doesn't matter: The "college == good" brainwashing MUST
STOP, period, and I'd sooner sell my soul than selfishly sit
back and blindly contribute to the problem (which would really
amount to the same thing).
(Yea, I know Caltech sounds like it might be better, but even
if it is...and *still* is...that only makes it the exception to
the rule.)
I never went to college and I feel no worse for wear for it. At
24, around an age I would be graduating, I'm glad I'm not looking
at spending a quarter of my income on school loans. God knows
taxes take a big enough toll as it is.
It really is a case-by-case situation though, as much as I'm
against "big pharmaceutical", you can't/shouldn't be a doctor
without proper education. Unfortunately college, like so many
other industries, seems to be growing to fat for it's own good.
But then, as a member of the Zeitgeist Movement, I think that
about a lot of for-profit organizations. ;)
