Nothing I learned in college has applied to any of my jobs on a consistent basis. I need 2 classes to graduate and have over 15 years experience working in my field and I have to out perform to get a job that doesn't pay as well as the one I could get if I had not been as those two jackasses who are so smart they are going to drop out of college because they already know everything.
For me, college was a waste of time and money. Because I work in the technology sector, it would have served me better to have gone to a technical school, such as : York Technical Institute. I was planning on going to that place, but my parents could only pay for a instate school. So I ended up going to West Virginia University.
