Yeah, fuck that. I didn't go because I had no interest in sitting in yet more classrooms listening to people drone on and smelling other people's farts for 4 more years

What did you spend your money on?

A degree focusing on intensive career training in a field that is highly demanded, and networking,...

or a "life experience" and a degree in underwater basket weaving?

Look if going to college didn't cost four years of time with 20K per year, where in my career you'd be near to outdated (tech), I'd go.

But for tech I feel like its almost a scam. I'd rather have the certs and/or practical knowledge or be able to go through an interview via algorithms, soft skills, explaining how to go through what I know. Its harder work to learn this way but I think it keeps your skills sharper.
