Anyone feel like college is a waste? Options

[Coomer]

Does anyone here feel like college is a waste of money, time, and effort?

To me, it's seemed like that since before I started. I've now almost got my AA, and I've learned some stuff, but not much that I really care about, and almost nothing that has helped me.

And if I go forward with my plans to go to Central Washington University and get my BA in computer science, I'm sure I'll learn a ton about computer programming and databases and stuff like that. But the problem I see is that I don't want to be a computer programmer or a database engineer.

I want to develop websites, and have my own business doing it.

I've got the knowledge to develop sites now, and what I don't know very well(OOP, ActionScript, etc.) I can learn on my own. I've always been able to learn on my own with the internet or a book, and I actually prefer it to learning in a classroom.

And as far as the business side of things, I'm confident that I can handle that too. I've invested a few hundred dollars over the last couple weeks buying books and such about the subject of web development businesses and business in general. And again, what I don't know, I don't need a class for. I can learn fine from reading.

So yeah, college seems pointless to me. Anyone else feel the same way?

I just graduated, and I honestly think that college is not all that important. I think I learned 1 thing from each class. Most of the College Plan courses that each college has for their students are a complete waste of time. I mean when the hell am I going to se "Greek Lit" or "Art history". Most of my actual classes for my major just overlapped each other. Could done without half of them and saved lotsa cash.

My personal opinion is that since people have gone through the b.s. themselves they believe that its only fair if other people have to do it.

Oh and for those in college or about to enter. GPA doesn't mean jack when it comes to finding a job, so get a life make some friends and don't worry about that 3.5 crap
