How much money do you make a year?

Yawn.

 

Thank you for the kind words. Do you know a lot of folks that went to Stanford?

 

It's not about how much money you make or how much education you have or where you went to school. It's about how smart you are with your money.

 

I know a couple actually. I grew up with a guy who played a tight end for Stanford.

 

Or how many threads you can start.

 

I have a small basement apartment to show for the tons of money I bring in. I've since resorted to gigoloism.

Cool. So there isn't really a reason to place it on such a pedestal. It's just a university.

 

Whats the average income of someone who graduated from Stanford. Its not just a University. Lets be real.

 

Stop being insecure, Zags. You're actually a solid guy.

 

I have no idea.

 

That's not true. I know that man.

 

I just don't understand why people spend a shit load of money on college when A)They really do not have to or B) They keep changing their major around due to the fact they can't figure out what it is they really want.

 

Because society tells us that you have to go to college in order to be successful.

 

I think HCP started this thread just knowing what would happen with it . . .

 

PapaG, you've loved jumping in on the questioning Stanford game many times.

 

I'll catch you guys on the flipside. I got a date with the dumbbells.

 

Hopefully you guys will have this all sorted out when I get back.

 

Please say hi to them for us.

 

Well that's just another way to drive people into debt.

 

College is more than just the degree, it is a life growth and experience.

Many are entering an important time in their life when they question things and try to discover who they are and what is their place in this world. A university is a great environment to be in when going through this time. To be surrounded by intelligent professors who will challenge your every thought and be experiencing this with others the same age or same place in life. I was forced to think outside my comfort zone and challenged by some great professors.

I wouldn't give up my college experience even if it cost me 10Xs as much. It is a shame that the cost of college experience is so expensive and I think one of the sad situations in our country, but the college experience is often a once in a lifetime experience that can shape you for the rest of your life.
