College. I am entering my late 20s,
which makes me a late-bloomer to this college thing, but I am on
track to graduate sooner than any member of my family. My first job
was as a VB programmer.
Here are my college tips:
College is a lifestyle. It is kind of
like a march through a minefield. Sometimes you will get popped. The
way people live in college his highly illegal and highly unhealthy in
the long run. Keith Richards is some sort of freak- his lifestyle
isn’t something you would want to do over time.
If you get out without a legal issue,
you will have some personality ones. People work doubles and then try
to pull off studying and people wonder why Adderall is popular.
-Take as much AP as possible in HS.
-CLEP testing
-Community college
-Pick your four-year school wisely
Drop out if you have to. You can always
come back. Consider vocational training or a two-year degree. Expand
your resume. Don’t get stuck in food service unless you are a
well-paid manager.
Don’t get fucked over by landlords.
Debt isn’t good. Avoid it until your
last two years. Pick your major. Stick to it, drop out if you need to
find yourself. This isn’t your education. You will have to get that
on your own.
Why get a degree if its worthless? To
emigrate, become and officer in the military, or become a manger. Be
careful with this last one- you can just work hard and get this
without the degree.
