I totally agree, this is why I'm dropping out of college. Everyone thinks it's a terrible idea, but fuck that, they just don't understand.

Colleges are over-priced, and textbook prices are immoral. Some people spend $250 or more on one book. Even used copies can be priced outrageously. I am glad that kindle is putting publishing companies out of business.

@craiginzana College is a business! its a fucking lie!! Useless classes! Your gonna need a PhD to work in burger king soon!

Most people misunderstand what college is for, to get an education in a subject, not to make money. You can make money with college, but obtaining an education in a field of study is what you get. If you want to make a lot of money, learn how run a successful business, and then learn how to invest. Most people should not go to college, they need a trade or job based certification school, as these are better designed for jobs, and careers, which is why most go.

Maybe his argument is valid about business, but I don't see how I could become a chemical engineer without further education.

@Bergkristall you should use your college time and go to an exchange semester abroad then u will get what a college degree really costs, there are no study fees in germany, and rich folks are always able to calculate themself poor

@n8junge I am from Germany and I think you are lying. We have to pay for college/university, too. And if you or your parents don't pay than you get a student loan or a scholarship. However, nothing is free in this world, not even health insurance, and you will find that out as soon as you finish your degree and go to work (if you get a job). You will see how much money the state will tax you and you will have to pay normal prices for a flat or transport, not reduced prices like students

This is so spot on...unfortunately though you really have to address the cause, it is NOT that education is too free as some left-wingers will have you think. People in Europe boast about their education being free but it isn't of course, it's funded through taxes...so yeah you can say oh I don't have to pay jack for education and healthcare but you do because you're being taxed for it...so ultimately it's a question of whether you want to take responsibility for yourself or not.

@VanillaSnow23 Yes, invest your money.

damn...so.......should i drop out now??

@toSTONEiGO huh?
stupid americans,
in germany i dont pay anything for college, i even get money for doing that. I pay more taxes when i work later, but mostly to a health insurrance which doesnt try to make profit out of me, and a pension which isnt run by mr. madoff
the only thing which keeps america together is the possibility to scam and crab each other.

@n8junge
its a bummer but facts is, your not a 100% wrong.
But also true is the fact that the vast majority of people are good hard working people that are miss directed and miss lead by terrible national leadership.
