with the economy how it is today, it dosen't seem to matter if you went to college or not. i know people who either never went to or never finished college who are quite successful and had a great paying job. i mean, really, if one expects to get a cushy job because they have "college graduate" on their resume they're way too optimistic.

i think you pretty much hit the nail on the head there. college is all about exploring your options and making connections. im going to use my personal experience as an example - in college i was a film major with a photography minor. in the film business its all about having your connections....thats just about the only way you can land yourself a job. on the last day of class the head of the dept. handed all the graduating seniors a list of contact info of former students of his that have gone on to be successful in the film industry (indie or major productions) so we can get our foot in the door and make a living.

some. all of us who have been through/currently in college have seen the students that are only there because 1. they want out of their parents house and they feel like this is the only way or 2. PARRRTAAAAAYY by the time their in their sophmore year they get a swift kick in the bum from reality when they get kicked out for failing too many classes.
