Did you go to college, and did you learn anything there, or just party your way through?

Question

Did you learn enough to make a good living? Or did you learn from the school of hard knocks, as grandpa used to say?

Advisor Smith · Accepted Answer

I did go to college—business undergrad, then an MBA later on—but the real value wasn’t the diploma, it was learning how to think, write, analyze, and work with people very different from me.

I definitely didn’t party my way through; I treated college like a launchpad. Still, a lot of what actually helped me make a good living came from combining that education with “school of hard knocks”: bad bosses, failed projects, career pivots.

The degree opened doors; experience and continuous learning kept me inside the room.

Yeah I went to college... for me it was just classes and work for a piece of paper I never ended up using. I wasn't one of those people that live there though.

I'm going to be honest... I learned more as a teenager just reading books. I have no respect for someone with a college degree unless they display a working brain, because there is a lot of people out there now with a college degree that are brain dead.

Also I wasn't a kid stright out of High School that got shoved into college. I got there when I was older after some military fun, and the government paid for it. They paid for everything and paid my rent... probably the only reason I bothered.

Took eight years, lmfao. And I’m for sure not a doctor🤣

But I made a ton of connections from partying and socializing, and that’s led to some success professionally👍👍 And just the overall experience of college was very enriching for me as a person. Shit, I’d have stayed twice that long if I could’ve kept on getting into the parties🤣

I went to college but in my spare time I worked and bought my first house when I was 22.

Billlewis · Answer

No, I didn't go, despite my relatives trying their hardest to shove college up my a_ _. I held firm, though and choosing not to go was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Technically, yes. Parties are a good way to network and build social skills. But the education itself is a good pointer, not a goal in itself.

I earn more than college proffesors. But they have a role to serve as well.

Darkest-Knight · Answer

I never went to college. I hated being in a classroom and being told what to do. Still do. Although I do regret missing out on the social aspect. Maybe things would be different now if I had that.
