College is only worth it if you're motivated, and are studying a degree that's guaranteed to find you work after you graduate so you can pay your bills.Originally Posted by ispeakjewleo

Makes you question if college is really worth going to.

i know a good # people with degrees in areas like philosophy/english (examples of what many would consider useless majors) in T14 law schools. they interned, studied, and were very active around campus and it paid off. they didn't just party and sit around like so many college students and except something to be handed to them afterwards just because they got a piece of paper.
I find myself thinking this way more and more each day. M heart really isnt in school, and I feel like Im here, just because I feel like I have to be, honestly. All the money spent on classes could've went to following my dream of being a race car driver and going to racing school.Originally Posted by shoeking2101
Said this ever since last year...
College is the biggest scam that our society has pulled on us. Our most successful people didn't even go to school. Spend all that money to go to school, just to get out of school and not be able to get a job, and once we do, we have to use part of that job to pay off that tremendous debt, and what not.
Honestly, if it were up to me, If I were lecturing students, and this is taboo, but I would encourage them not to go to college as much as follow their passion, there hearts. You only live once, and there isn't any jobs out here, why not do what you love and want to do?
To this day I haven't found a student who is in college that didn't feel like on some level, that it was a waste of time, and that they weren't really learning everything.
I don't know anyone who actively works in fields that deal with English or Philosophy degrees (unless they teach or do something with writing/editing) but you are right, the people I know had very high grades / LSAT scores. I don't think they even bothered to look for employment because they went to law school right after graduation. I was just saying they did something more than leave school and expect something to be handed to them (all though probably a poor example because they planned to go to law school).Originally Posted by DwyaneWadeOG

Lol why do you think they are in lawl school? (probably because they couldn't get a good job with their philosophy/english degree)
All you need to get into a top law school is a good GPA and a good LSAT score. Law schools could care less if you were active around campus or interned. If you have that 3.8+ and 172+ you are straiiiight.
