Me @22: Boy, IT work sure looks fun and I love computers already so let me take out some student loans to become a cybersecurity specialist!

Me @29: Retail is fine too.

Same. Sometimes I wish I had instead spent all the money I saved and blew on college on anything else. I could have lost it all gambling. I could have spent it all on strippers. Or drugs. I could have bought a helicopter and thrown fistfulls of $100 bills out the window and my money would have still been better spent.

Sitting on 18k in debt. I'd actually have a car instead of half a degree and a thumbs up from ECPI. Casino would be good too.

Yet they blame all the violence on marijuana.. What do they expect people in this situation to do, die? Fuck our broken society.

If they aren't going to make college classes less bullshit they least the could do is make them free. Whether I pass a class or not has always depended more on how reasonable they want to be about it.

If you're paying $100k just to be allowed to get a job, you should be entitled to that or a full refund regardless of anything else. Fuck everyone in charge of this joke of a society.
