Besides, everyone can not be a Bill Gates.

FWIW, lots of us never figure out what we want to do with out lives. Consider the university or college’s career counseling office for some guidance on where your aptitudes and interests lie.

The degree can help in making the connections, and training you on how to handle yourself.

But there are other ways to get that training, and other ways to get your foot in the door. You may just have to play gruntwork a little bit longer without that degree.

You should never go to college for a degree–people send their kids there thinking it’s a ticket into bourgeoisie comfort, and the only reason they’re right (on the occasions they are right) is because of the collusion between higher education and employers. Employers want a way to maintain their racist hiring practices–they want to hire sheep that are ready to play ball and take orders. And the schools want to sell you the piece of paper that allows the corporate world to discriminate.

Realize that the vast majority of companies that hire new grads don’t trust them to write a simple business letter. Why? Because recent grads leave school in the mildly retarded fashion they entered with no tangible skills to speak of besides contracting genital warts and binge drinking. Young Americans can’t find their azz with two hands and a flashlight, which makes the top 1 percent smile a contented smile.

The difference between a 21-year-old kid without a degree and one with is that the kid with the piece of paper has proof that they are probably white, middle class (or better), and won’t be challenging the status quo. Employers have to start from scratch with new hires from a training standpoint, they could do that with anyone if they wanted to; they choose to do it with people that talk like them and look like them (the piece of paper is a stamp of white approval; it means you’re either white or brainwashed and filled with enough school debt to become an indentured slave to a corporate master who will keep you a slave with enticements like two weeks off in the summer and health insurance).

Degrees are also getting watered down by grade inflation; BS curriculums; inept, disinterested instructors; dumb students (failed by their high schools and allowed in by increasingly less selective colleges); and schools that have become very good at selling sizzle (“the college experience”) and no steak to speak of. Degrees mean less and less, and while they still open doors, the doors are meager, middle class doors. Anybody that becomes something, with or without a degree, opens doors themselves through will, talent, experience, and gumption–and by being better than the exceptionally prevalent lowest common denominator (and by demonstrating that they are better by exhibiting common sense).

So why should you go to college? You won’t learn skills that help you do a job in school (unless you go to trade school or study the sciences at a good school–and you have a strong mind for those subjects). But college just may help you get to know yourself better. It just may make you a more aware human being–a more empathetic human being. School is great for rural kids that have never gotten to meet other cultures–under ideal circumstances, at a good school with good instructors and a good academic culture (very rare indeed), college is great for kids that need to have their beliefs challenged (namely, all kids). College is about equipping yourself intellectually for the remainder of your life’s journey–the out of class education that comes after school. The things acquired in college can be acquired in many ways, and with the quality of higher education in the world, attending college is hardly a guarantee that you will acquire anything worth all the debt and struggle.

At the end of the day, success all comes down to you. How naturally blessed you are, how ambitious you are, how much talent you make it your business to acquire, and how much you are willing to sacrifice in the name of your goals (the process of achieving is not comfortable). It takes a little luck, too. Success in and out of school, with or without a degree, is there for the taking by virtue of the greatness of this country, and by default: America’s students and workforce can’t wipe their own azz.

…..and if u something different and attractive in your college life ,,then it is very easy to get a good job no matter what was your school life…
