Ironic that the quote "I'm pretty sure it's more work than going to college." is from somebody who only spent a few weeks at university.
(Not that there's anything necessarily wrong with dropping out)
- delinka 13y agoPersonally, I'd qualify "...more work..." as "...more work that I enjoy, and am good at..." I don't mind doing More Work. I mind doing Useless Work.
- joonix 13y agoIt doesn't take long to discover that university education is an inefficient sloth, a waste of time and basically a broken system for almost all majors.
- VLM 13y agoIts incredibly good at educating, and fairly efficient. Training is better off at a vo-tech. Most of the people attending just want a credential proving they are trained, its their meal ticket. They're obviously not going to be huge fans of a liberal education curriculum. Yet their employers demand credentials from educational facilities not training facilities, so the 2-yr vo-tech is seen as toilet paper. Its a messed up situation. They make an excellent product, but most of the people going don't want it, but they can't get something else because the market demands they attend. Very much like complaining a 5-star restaurant sucks because they don't have cheap hamburgers and a drive-thru, or the reverse situation.
- icatchcows 13y agoI would agree with the quote, learning a skill while going to college is very challenging. I found University to be great at teaching my how to learn and giving me the fundamentals, but I'm on my own if I want to learn specific skills.
