Is college worth the $$ spent? I'm about 2 years in, and I'm doing a finance major. I've watched Shrkeli (whatever the Armenian Jew's name is) and he said that he didn't really need the degree. Also, this election proved to me that college is more of an indoctrination process than it is a learning process. Basically, I think college is a meme which is a waste of money. Am I better off teaching myself and dropping out of college to save and invest money elsewhere. Or should I just finish it?

And what are you going to put down on your resume?

To even take the CPA, etc. you need a bachelor's degree. You essentially need a useful degree to even get hired nowadays. Plus, college is a good time to network with people. Of course there are exceptional people who can teach themselves and actually get somewhere in their career. However, chances are pretty slim and not everyone is that lucky. Your life and your choice.

>Once you start your own business, people generally stop giving a fuck about your schooling.
>if you start a successful business with no experience in the field then no one gives a fuck about your schooling
Yes, you're correct. But what are the chances of that? You'll probably want at least A FEW years of professional experience in a field before branching out into your own business unless you want to make yet another affiliate market/dropship business and a shitty blog plastered in ads.
And even IF YOU DO start a business, wouldn't it be a good thing to have a degree to fall back on? - In case things don't work out with your business? Businesses aren't always successful and unless you want to be in a situation where it's "Succeed or now you have to work at mcdonalds or be homeless" you'll probably want something to fall back on.
This also doesn't even get into the aspect of requiring money to start a business (at the very least to sustain yourself while you work on it, let alone all the actual costs of the business itself).
Wouldn't getting a degree and some work experience while working on your business part-time and if it REALLY TAKES OFF abandoning your job and hopping over to your business full-time make a lot more sense?
Whatever tho.
Maybe the penny stock pump & dumps and crypto coins will finally pay off. Go for it chump, drop your $15k your mom gave you for University into [new-notscamcoin]. I've heard it's really doing well
