Comment Your degree was a waste of time (Score 1) 613
Everybody has a degree nowadays and a degree means nothing compared to experience. Instead of racking up student loans, you could have been applying yourself to actual work experience.
Go for internships and specialized training in whatever you plan on doing for the rest of your life.
A degree in computer engineering is nice, but you'll find that you still have to start from the very bottom and work your way up. Computer degrees are obsolete before you finish your textbooks.
The ONLY difference between a high school grad and a college grad is that once they enter the workforce, the college graduate still has to pay back loans for another 20 - 30 years.
Same thing with certifications - most employers will say they are a requirement on the job posting, but unless you can show solid real world experience, you are out of luck.
