None, whatever you learn is for your own benefit.

@HannibalAteMeOut I think you have to picky if you’re sinking one hundo grand into it though. If you live someplace where college is more affordable, then I support that sentiment.

@lamps what's that?

@lamps ahh yeah okay, you're right.

@HannibalAteMeOut I’m just saying, in the States at least, students can end up spending well over $100,000 (USD) for a college education (for me personally my education will cost over $200,000 for 4 years).

I’m saying when you’re spending that kind of money, you usually need to pick something practical to get a return on that massive investment. If you’re in a position where your education doesn’t gut you, then I agree that you should pursue what you’re passionate about regardless of its practicality, but for most every college student I know, that isn’t feasible for survival.

@lamps yes I understand, personally I've never had to pay 1 single coin for my education so that's why I didn't consider it. But yeah I guess you wouldn't want to give thousands in order to study philosophy or history of art or something like this.
