Who here has been to college?

Would you go back and do it over again if you could? My college years were no doubt, four of the most stressful years of my life. I would probably not go back and do it over again 🤭.

College was an absolute joke. My son has the opportunity to spend his last two years of high school getting a two-year community college degree and I am pushing it.

If he wants to finish the four year degree, fine.

For 80% of the people getting a four-year degree, it's just a few letters on their resume. They don't learn anything that makes their work/skills better than the next person.

I've had two managers who didn't have a four-year degree and they were highly regarded and good managers.

(I've ranted too much about this)

@latinbutterfly Check out their high school. They might have the ability to take a few classes while they are there.

@latinbutterfly send your children to community college. They will have the college education that is useful and practical. My 4 year BS degree college was not ready for me to go to work at graduation.
@turbineman40 I will definitely discuss it with my husband.

I have. I enjoyed college but I would not go back and do it over again. I’m happy to be a working adult even if it’s stressful at times. Ultimately I want to advanced and grow and not regress back to years past, but I will say college was both educational and a lot of fun. It was nice to have people my age at easy access and so many free events and resources open to students. Less responsibility also.

My first attempt at college was just to get my degree in partying. I didn't take it seriously until I was well into my 20s. Now I have a bachelor's and two master's degrees. Thinking about going back for a doctorate.

I passed my exam for college for international law I was so happy my dream of becoming part of the diplomatic corps just so my mother and father tell me they can't afford it.
I still think about it.

2 Bachelors degrees and a Masters. So that would e a yes. Would go back for a Doctorate if I could find a school that had the right program and find the funding.
I loved college and might have been happy going to school forever. Back then college debt was manageable. But there were new, other things I wanted to do.

Yes, I graduated from college and I would definitely do it all over again. I might do a few things differently, though.
@Poppies Since I have acquired more and more knowledge over the years since I graduated, maybe I could possibly see myself going back at some point 🤷🏻‍♀️.

I didn't enjoy much of any of it, but I'd do it again because it helped me get where I wanted to go (even though I didn't know where I wanted to go at the time).

I regret going to college. Biggest waste of time and money for me. Maybe I should have dropped out after the first year or semester to still have had the experience.

I’ve been taking online courses since January, so I feel like I’m back in university. 😩😓
@marsbar I've been teaching all of my courses online because the college campus has been closed. I really miss interacting with the young men and women 😕.

I have spent exactly half of my life in academics and will probably keep participating. I actually like it.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
Yes I went back when I was 30 one of the best decisions of my life
@JimboSaturn It really helped me to grow and mature, so it was a pretty good decision for me 🤷🏻‍♀️.
if I could go back to the same age? yeah, for sure. I dunno how I'd possibly do it these days.

Went to college, got expelled from college 🤷‍♂️
Three times for three degrees, and no, I wouldn't do it again.

Nah, I'm done with college. They were not happy years for me.
