All three or four acquaintances without a college degree also work a 40 hour week making less than 50k a year.

All my other friends with a college degree and a career are making way over a 100k a year.


Do you think college is a waste?
Think you just answered your own question. All those without a degree and bullshit excuses like that just like to rational because they're lazy, socially inept morons who can't get off the computer and into a setting that would help them grow. College was the best time of my life and I think anyone else with a degree can agree with that. Not to mention, it's a stepping stone for graduate school.
