The average is around 20k so the 80k comment makes little sense.

You have to pick a worthwhile major.
Look at the classifieds.

What jobs seem to be advertised the most?
One that's experiencing a shortage?

(Please don't say nursing,we have too many nurses and not enough jobs)

There are Pell grants,scholarships,even community colleges.
There are also trade schools.

Not attending some sort of post secondary school is asking for poverty.

Guess what?
When you apply to a low wage job,you will be competing with a lot of other people with no skills,esp illegal immigrants.
Unskilled labor outnumbers skilled labor.

More than likely an illegal alien will get the job before you,because they work for lower wages.

Or

Someone who actually is a college grad will get the job before you.

Either way you are SOL.


In my area you need a Bachelors to work at the group home,work at Enterprise Rent a Car,become a supervisor at UPS, drive the Fed Ex truck,become a corrections officer,beome a shift manager at any retail store making 13.00 an hour.

TreasuredJewel, meet school. School, meet TreasuredJewel.

TreasuredJewel, meet spellcheck. Spellcheck, meet TreasuredJewel.

If you're going to rip college grads, at least understand what a spellchecker is. Everytime you post, you are embarrassing yourself with your spelling errors and illogical reasoning.

I just started college this past August and honestly, no I don't think college is worth it. It's a waste of time and money. I'm just being taught stuff I already know about. Why can't I just do whatever career it is I want already? Why do we have to spend thousands of dollars to be "taught" stuff we already know and then leave with thousands of dollars in debt to find out we still can't be hired? It makes little to no sense to me whatsoever.

I know how to use a computer, I can read, write, talk, and I have a high IQ score. I also have good work ethics. That should be good enough.

I'm tired of school, writing essays and spending money I don't want to spend.

College just delays and even prevents people from doing what they really want. I don't want to be in college. I already want to have a career, my own home, be married with a baby on the way. I feel ready for these adult milestones. But no... I have to spend another 4-6 years in school. I'm only in school to satisfy my family.

College is just an excuse to allow adults to extend their immature teenage years. People ARE be able to work and do things on their own by the time they're 18 if people let them. But society has babied them and made them incompetent of using their maximum potential.

College IS a rip-off. Why do you think they charge people outrageous prices? To gain profits of course. Plus most people drop of college anyway. So why put so much emphasis and concern on college when most people drop out?
