Personally, I thrive as a big fish in a small pond. I went to a competitive high school and drowned in jealousy, didn't do so hot, but I went to a state school and did great because everyone there got shit grades - it was kind of the norm. I spent time tutoring which helped me make friends and got my As from taking easy classes. Now I'm going to a top grad school.

Bro, in todays world it basically can't.

Colleges now a days are hard as a motherfucker to get into. My counselor pulled up where she thinks I should apply and my heart sank. We are talking ghetto shitty schools in buttfuck nowhere. It's embarrassing. Everyone at my school goes to crazy colleges and then there's me. Having to apply to some ass school is just so disgraceful. I'll be lucky to get into a state school

>and youre rich
Won't help me after college when I'm on my own. Was cool in my childhood days. Those days are over.

You need to fucking invest, College is a sham in this day and age.

What's the point of going to a 4 year college first? You clearly don't really care too much about putting in the work to study, so you'll probably just end up fucking up your first year of school and getting kicked out. He may not be proud of you if you go to a 2 year to figure yourself out first, but if he's anything like my dad he will be happy that you saved him thousands of dollars in tuition and I think it would be nicer than telling your friends your son got kicked out of MIT.

>>38070694
Nigga here's the thing. Most wagecuck jobs only give a shit if you have a 4yr degree. It doesn't matter where it's from. It doesn't particularly have to be related to the job. Professions where the degree matters inevitably require postgrad degrees.

The rest of what gets you into your job and promoted is your social game.

>>38070827
There is actually a really strong middle ground for 2 year degrees as well. A 2 year degree job easily gives you enough to live comfortably, although not mega-rich. I make $45k and can get raises up to $55k without any promotions at my current job, just with a stem AA

Do people actually care about college performance over prestige of the school?
I've kept a 4.0 GPA at a mid-low tier STEM school. Will this do me better than transferring to a more prestigious school and having a lower GPA?

>>38071244
experience is worth more than your GPA, take advantage of co-op terms and paid internships otherwise you'll graduate and be a lost little boy like a good friend of mine.

>>38071123
I get that. He's done so much for me and I am grateful, and I am sad I disappointed him. :(

>>38071244
I disagree with everyone else. if you tell an employer
>I went to Harvard
You're basically insta hired. Plus Ivies and other god tier schools basically have programs where you can get jobs very easily at good companies. They help you as fuck. Shittier schools do not have the skill or resources to.

>>38070754
I do try. I pulled As and Bs but that just wasn't good enough. They need to be all As. I'm confident I can do well in college. I just don't know where the fuck I'm going to go or what the fuck to study [and its not going to be a good outcome]

>>38071419
urgh, the idea of applying for and interviewing for a bunch of positions stresses me out. I should go for internships and co-ops though, will get working on that in the fall semester.

kinda. international students pay the difference between what the government subsidizes. in leafland my student union threw a shitfit over this, thinking its unfair(not realizing our international students are all affluent chinks, nigerians, and muslims who can easily afford it). i think they still have rallies about this, which doesn't really surprise me. you can't teach critical thinking.

Besides, i was 5 years out of school, he seems to have recovered a little pride on me since he knew i was entering uni, which is something that didn't happen since like 10 years ago.

Can confirm. A Yale law grad served me medium fries and a small coke zero with extra ice at McDonalds the other day.

Tell your dad that the name of your college isn't important, but the education you receive there.

My college didn't have a famous name, but it did have the only Mongolian language program in the US...which is why I went there. Never looked back.

:^)

i know community colleges are garbage but why not endure two years of easy middle school tier courses then just transfer to a really good school if it means so much to you. if you get good grades (which would be pretty easy desu) then eventually going to mit or any other high tier school is very plausible. it seems like a better choice than spending 4 years at a state school with an acceptance rate of something like 60%. idk

You guys are retarded, worrying about college and everything, life is completely worthless, you should leech off your parents or government as long as possible until you're homeless and you can jump off a bridge. No one will care if you're gone if you're homeless because it means everyone has given up on you.

But you'll still always have that safety net of parents who COULD bail you out if you were unemployed, etc. Lots of folks literally don't have that.

>>38071938
>>born well off

"Well off" doesn't mean "rich". It could easily mean "nice suburban house'

>>38072856

The part about the alumni is absolutely true.

Plus for most jobs, if you went to Harvard etc, people would stereotype you are smart but simultaneously, as an arrogant snot who thinks his shit don't stick...so still there would be hesitation to hire such a person.
