I just graduated yesterday and walked through the main building of my Uni feeling genuinely sad... great 4 years. Great memories

LOL Although I have considered it, it is the same price as UCLA for visa students. |

CompSci is one of the best fields to get into right now. There are jobs everywhere. And I think $55K = being overpaid for what most people do, but hey, I'm going to aim for $65-$70K. Can never have too much moneys.

As a general major it is horrible. If you focus on programming then you're ok. Too much of the rest of the . |

aww, don't be bitter just because you made some career choices you're not too proud of. And don't assume everyone's first job is just like yours. But you call me, we're hiring experienced manwhores. :clown: |

| there's some career paths that require a certain level of education before you can get into it (lawyers, accountants, doctors, teachers/professors). the value of college really depends on what you want out of it and how committed you are to doing what you want. if you can do what you want without going to college then go for it. |

IMO: You have options you can do and can't do. The college you choose will have much competition so if you do poorly there are many reasons why. Find them out and fix them so you get that A or B- you need to graduate.
College you learn to be responsbile because its not your parents waking you up anymore to get to class, laundry, meet new people, blah blah blah. You make your enviroment and well being the way you determine for x years which you are paying for or someone is. For certain jobs(engineer,architects,doctors,MBA..) you def need higher education no matter what and college is the only place to get it. |

Right, it's computer SCIENCE. There are a few colleges out there that will give you a Software Engineering degree, but computer science is all about theory and giving you a background and an ability to solve problems on your own. I think much of it is BS busywork, but... people forget that college is not trade school, it's supposed to make you learn, learn to think, learn to figure things out. It's going to teach you how to learn to catch fish. As much as I feel that I don't get to use my knowledge while in school, I still think it's better than sitting through hours and hours of learning how to program in C++, Python, Java, or whatever the hell the hot language of the week is. |

| If u go to a school in your home state, I would imagine they all have full ride type scholarships like Florida does...and tuition isn't too bad w/o the scholarship...not including your specialized schools. I went just to say I did it, and to not miss out in my younger party years. It opens doors for you for sure that u may otherwise have no chance of ever getting. Do u need a college degree to be successful?....no ing way. Theres too many people going to college these days because society says u have to, or your flipping burgers forever which really pisses me off. The value of all degrees has lowered substantially because of this. Its sad but I think I would be better off if I didn't go and pursue another route, since I was doing extremely well at a young age money/job wise. I'm not doing bad now, but I think I would be better off :whip: I'm just glad I got thru with no loans of any kind! Free and clear. |

| I went to Penn State and just graduated last May and loved every second of it. I dont know what physics teacher you had but all my physics classes werent too bad. I guess it's just how you do all the work that gets assigned to you. I always did HW in groups and it worked well. If you had to do the whole work load yourself i can see how it would get stressful but working with people made it run smoother since you could ask sum1 if u didnt know something instead of searching for the answer for hours by yourself. Plus partying all weekend would help release all the stress of the week. |

| i just transferred from an out-of-state state school to an in-state state school (that makes sense, right?), and i think i'm paying even more now. the school is overall better, but i'm just trying to get out with as little debt as possible at this point. also i gotta keep a 3.0 gpa so i can study abroad, which is hard, cos i'm kinda stupid at anything not related to my major... it blows cos i might be down to a 2.9 after this semester, which would really things up. oh well. |

| further education is pointless in this day and age. too many people with useless qualifications. not enough people with hands on experience. the only good thing about college/uni is that you get to make friends and drink without having to worry about how you are gonna pay for it. it was worth my debt just to be able to meet my girlfriend, get drunk three times a week, and avoid full time work for 3 yrs. |
