Have anons attended College/University? Always been interested by the results of the neet board.https://strawpoll.com/GJn44wx0znz
I have a useless BA in history my family forced me to get. Its been over 10 years, I've forgot the vast majority of what I learned and have just been wagieing ever since. But hey grandma got to brag to her church friends I was a college graduate.
>>85132910I never even finished highschool roflmaomegalulz
I want to just so I can make friends and talk to girls but I realized now that'll never happen because I'm broke.
>>85132910>1 underage Janitors there is a child lurking amoung us! Find them and ban them.
>>85132972theoretically it could be an 18 year old who has yet to graduate HS.
>>85132910Surprising results. I thought it would be mostly no.
>>851329904chan used to list it's demographics and it was early 20s college students. so it's not really surprising to me at all. for some reason a lot of people just go to college without thinking if it's worth it or not, they just think they're supposed to go no matter what or they're forced by their parents.
>>85133039It's a good idea for most people unless you really are super talented at something or really want to work in the trades. Also depends on cost I guess. A lot of people go to community college then transfer.
I didn't but I probably should have because I don't have the social skills to get a non-wageslave job. But I hated school so much that there was no way I was going to pay money to suffer through more school
>>85132910It seems the non education anons are a vocal minority wtf
>>85133177I don't think so. I think the non education anons are the ones who went to college and didn't get what they expected out of it, mostly due to their own shortcomings.
>>85133187But they keep talking about how they'll never go to college
>>85132910Never attended college. I am 25 and I've been thinking about starting college but I feel as though I am too old at this point.
>>85133206You're not too old, you can get a degree in 6 months to a year. Look it up.
>>851329102 underage lmao
>>85133478>shut the fuck up niggerKek he's mad that I finished my degree in 6 months for under $3k while he wasted 4 years. Regionally accredited state school. hahahahahaha.
>Underage 5.56% (2 votes)
>>85133488no, it's free in my country and i even get paid to do it. i'm telling you to shut the fuck up because i'm pissed off that retards who are in niche situations or don't really know what they're talking about always clog up thread where people ask for advice.
>>85132910>https://strawpoll.com/GJn44wx0znzwent to college for computer science
>>85133206I had a classmate in his 40s
>>85133504I am 100% sure I went to a more prestigious university than you and have more education retard. I used my bachelors to get a full-ride at a T10 University for my masters.
I am very stupid and lazy, it took me 4 years to pass the standardized math test in high school, im brain dead when it comes to math. when i got out of high school i went to a community college for some months, but they put me in a remedial math class and i was just lost, i couldnt do it, so i just went home and never went back and became a neetaround the end of the 2010s i had a psychotic break down and went to the psych ward, from there i was diagnosed as a schizo , it sucks cause i have to get an anti psychotic injection once a month, but i also get SSI and free money, so its eh.another thing is i have been blessed to be born just in time for AI to decimate humanity and render most people obsolete when it comes to work. so i guess i won
>>85133516nta but that sounds like the epitome of a niche situation. Your advice and path doesn't really apply to the average robot. If they were as smart and resourceful as you they wouldn't be struggling with going to college. If you're going to flex your T10 education everywhere you go, why don't you tell us the school and your major?
>>85133571The average robot clearly isn't struggling to go to College. Approximately 65-70% of them have already attended based on this poll. In that guys case, I'm just giving him actually good advice on how to finish his Bachelor's quickly. It's not some scam to simply get a lot of credits online then finish fast.
>>85133592Dang. I didn't know you could do that. How did you deal with classes that don't have outside alternatives? Did you sacrifice a year taking extra classes that you thought would be helpful?
>>85132910studying psychology rn
>>85133603There are entire forums and subreddits of people who have completely mapped out what courses you need to take to transfer so you have the minimum amount of classes to take at the actual University. The minimum amount of time is actually 3 months for some schools (1 month to get the transfer credits, 2 months for the school). It's so broken that I'm 100% certain it's going to get nerfed/patched soon.
>>85132910I instinctively moved to pick underage, but remembered I'm not anymoreGod I'm fucking getting old and I've spent too much time on this shithole
>>85132910I dropped out of an English degree in my 3rd year. Still regretting that -- I could at least get some office slop job or have met some foid with a wealthy family to grease the wheels.
>>85133849You still have credits, why don't you just finish the last year?
>>85133206I started and dropped college 3 times. I was 27 when I started biology, the one degree I actually finished, albeit in almost twice the time. Later, I did the master in 2 years, and the phd in 3 years.Life hasn't been great lately, but it's probably better than if I hadn't do it.When I did it at 27, I felt I was too old to socialize too much with others, but when I was younger I didn't either so it's not like it made a difference. As far as studying goes, I became somewhat more disciplined and serious only when I turned 30 or so.
>>85133923Still though, impressive that you got your phd after starting so late.
>>85133849I finished my degree and no one is hiring me. I think it might have helped you if this was a few years back but it's slowly losing prestige.
10 years ago, the average robot could at least get to a real 4-year university before failing out. Quite a few even managed to graduate. Then it slipped down to community college and now we're down to high school dropouts, drug addicts, schizophrenics and even a few helmet-wearing tards. /r9k/ is literally the internet soup kitchen at this point. Hell, a significant proportion of this board actually admits to getting services from that negative star slop kitchen.
>>85132910Same as this anon>>85132941But was going through a master when covid hit. I was staying with my parents at the time and they went insane from it. They kept screaming I was doing a masters when I should be looking for a job (not taking into account that the tourism industry I was working in and planning to get into got killed during it). It got so bad that I ended up dropping out and I have PTSD about ever going back to uni.I regret wasting my time with it. All I got for it was seeing the cracks into our society and have the pleasure of waging jobs that don't require a degree. My advice, don't bother going to uni if you aren't in law or medicine. Waste of time. All the jobs that require a degree are can easily be done without and, besides, they all go to family members of higher ups anyways. If you don't have people to get you in, you'll never get in. And that requires no degree.
>>85132910Yes, for six years. I started abroad at what was effectively a 'community college' on a U.S. military installation, and then transferred stateside to finish up (after 3 years). In retrospect, I don't entirely regret it; I just regret not majoring STEM when it was still worth doing so.>pic only vaguely related
>>85132910yeahi graduated into covid, had exactly one job where i worked for a shady sales company just to show my parents i was trying, and then i quit when they wanted me to give them phone numbers for people to scam call so i've been neet since
24 and currently wasting my time studying philosophy, I know it won't get me a job but it's fun.
>>85135158If you were studying something that wasn't considered a waste of time you would still have the same job prospects. Don't worry about it.
>>85133622>studying psychology rnJFCMy college crush majored in psychologyThen got a masters in physical therapy or somethingNow she sells real estate
>>85132910Yeah, I have a bachelors degree but work at a pizza place. My folks made me go to college though, I never actually wanted to go. I wanted to be an EMT but in my city they make less than I do at the pizza spot so I just stay here.
>>85135206>they make less than I do at the pizza spot Damn that's actually funny as fuck. You could become a paramedic and have somewhat of a career. It's also a nice segue into getting an MD.
>>85133206This viewpoint is a bit strange to me. How can you place an age cap on improving your career prospects? Unless you're referring to the social aspect of being a fresh out of highschool naive kid trying to figure things out after being thrusted into the real world alongside people in similar cohort. In which case, I can get why you're bummed about missing out on that. But you shouldn't dwell on it.
