politician, no one makes more for doing less, with zero accountability or fear of justice system.

1) Don't go to a liberal arts University or College.
2) Get a Degree in the STEM (or STEAM) fields that's useful 3) If you take the loan, YOU pay it back....not the tax payers. 4) Treat your college time as if it were a job that you can't afford to lose if you take 1-3 above serious (but don't forget to relax when you get the chance) 5) Don't trust your teachers just because they are spewing forth fancy word salads at the front of the classroom. Most likely they are no more intelligent than the drunken idiot frat boy sitting next to you. |

Take a major that has a career path. If it has anything to do with advanced math, you will never have to be unemployed.

I hear there's big money to be made in trolling internet forums and undergoing frequent avatar changes.

Get a good job.
Work your way up the ladder. Take that knowledge and work for yourself. Laugh at college grads that are making fries. |

Stanford must have pissed someone off, as always in Top 5. |

I believe I read that only 50% of college students graduate. And a very small percentage of graduates end up working in the field that they are degreed in. Stupid effing sheeple. |

There will ALWAYS be jobs for people in service type professions such as plumbing, HVAC etc. start your own business and keep it small not a lot of employees if any as often you end up making less net income wit a lot more headaches.

I was pretty straight with mine. No fraternities or you pay for it yourself and that's the way it went. Average GPA the first semesters for most kids is around 2.5. He maintained 3.8 and above through all 4 years plus his masters and still had plenty of time to screw around.
Been an engineer at a national Labs for 14 yrs now. |
