of the time, the problem isn't college, it's the students. College
gives you direct access to some of the smartest minds, most
cutting-edge projects, and largest information databases in the world.
They also provide tons of programs for pairing you up with leading
businesses and helping you to secure internships that lead to future
jobs.
If you don't take advantage of this, then YES college is
useless to you. OP is the idiot here (though congrats on your own
business) when he says a "BS is the new high school diploma." The fact
that kids continue to treat college like high school is EXACTLY the
problem. If you seriously graduate without a job lined up in your
chosen field then it's your own fault for failing to take advantage of
college's ridiculously large network of resources. Getting A's in your
classes is only half the work.
(Compsci major here, got a job
lined up with a company that paid me 15 dollars/hour to work part-time
(including work from home) AND my college gave me a scholarship just
for working the internship, which went into my pocket since another
scholarship covered school expenses. If you pursue the opportunities
college provides you, and actually do the work, it's a great fucking
opportunity) |
