What does it really mean to you? Does it mean doing whatever you can to get a passing grade, so that you can be finished with that dreadful class? Does it mean its time to party hardy? Does it mean that you are promised a great future? That you’ll succeed in life and never have any worries, once you get your degree?

im trying to get some opinions for my research paper thing...thanks for your honest imput homers..

there prolly wasnt a high school exit exam when you graduated, but do you think you could have passed it? do you think you can pass a college "high school competency" exam?

if there had been an exit exam back when i graduated highschool, i would not have been able to pass it, not the math anyways..

It's a place to meet people and network.

Most of the majors in college are BS (Poli Sci, History, Geography, etc). Only a few of the majors can you use after college and you have to go to more school for that. I personally didn't learn anything from college school related to my work right now (except maybe business from selling herb and other things).

Remember its always better to be caught with than without...

My pops got a full scholarship to go to the University of St. Louis everything paid for. He wasnt good at reading n writing and didnt like school at all except for sports. When he graduated he had a beer delivery job he thought the money was good then and told his coach he didnt want to take the scholarship. They said that they'd get him tutors and help with any classes he needed help with. He still turned it down. His coach told him from this day on he'll be working for the rest of his life busting ass doing back breaking work. He just turned 50 and his hands are like rocks the man has worked hard from that day on.

Ive noticed the majority of the hoes at my school are white airheads, once i get my bachelors im still gonna look for that big booty latin chick who can cook a mean steak. The majority of the people i see at my school seem to be hella naive and fail to realize on whats reallly goin on around them. I think to be a well rounded person you have to be "book smart" as well as "street smart". I dropped outta high school in my teen years, its hard to do good when all you kick it with is goons. it didnt mean shit tho, i learned more when i got back in school. Gettin a degree doesnt really give me an optimistic outlook on life, its just so i know ill always have something to fall back on if i dont end up doing what i love.

I think its a good transition to the real world. I saw a lot of kids whos parents paid for it though and failed out or didnt work hard enough, and that always made me sick. Paying for it yourself definately makes you appreciate it and work harder. I didn't learn a lot that will help me in a job, but it still made me a much more well-rounded person. I can see a bum on the the streets or a member of a fortune 500 company, and either way I'd be able to relate to them on some level or another. All in all, I've always been good at school, so I saw no reason to stop after high school.

But I think the best thing about college is that you got a piece of paper that can open up opportunities you otherwise wouldn't have. Increase your chance of promotion, increase your pay rate.

i furthered my education by getting a degree in something that i like......which is architecture & engineering.

Right now i'm working for a small company that produces detailed drawings for steel fabricators. i'm trying to learn as much as possible so that when i do decide to look for another drafting job i have the experience. The "cool" factor about my work is i can work in any field that requires draftsmen(airplanes, cars, houses, bridges, sky-skrapers, warehouses, cabinets, foundation, bikes, hvac, rebar, civil, mechanical, etc etc) the possibilities are endless.
Plus i love what i do and one day, with all my experience, i will invent something that a company will mass produce to benefit myself but also the intended audience/customer.....don't know what but i plan on having atleast ONE patent under my belt.....

if all fails.........i always have the option of starting my own painting company....

college or not.....its just a matter of taking care of yourself and your loved ones and putting in work, and doing something that you are more comfortable doing(as long as your satisfied)....
