I got 4 years of college paid for(with a housing allowance). How should I use this to /lit/max?. Learn and language and take English and creative writing classes? I already make a lot of money so any talk of jobs is irrelevant

You're a trust fund baby. Just do coke and fuck hookers until you OD.
>>
>>24965516
I can do that while in college
>>
>>24965512
If you have the time and money, consider studying an ancient language. Greek and Latin are obvious, but there is an insane amount of untranslated coptic, arameic and cuneiform still out there. Highly /lit/, and with a surprising amount of work in that field. Take courses or even a minor in literature, theology, philosophy on the side you will learn a lot about those topics through cultural osmosis in those fields anyway. Writing is never something you should study in a university, but something you will find is your calling if you get into it somewhere throughout your studies.

>>24965512
get a degree in creative writing and huff your own farts while jerking off
it's how all the ancients gained their wisdom
>>
>>24965604
>>24965589
Yeah I figure creative writing classes would just be for the practice and not really the teachings
>>
>>24965512
I'm not going to tell you to study pure maths, but at least take a course in formal logic while you have the opportunity. Its surprisingly helpful for learning how to structure an argument and also just express yourself in a clear and direct manner. Makes you a better thinker in so many subtle ways.

>"i learned how to be a great writer in college"
said nobody ever

art school/majors are in rare cases defensible for things like film where there is a technical element, equipment cost barrier and future prospect of contractual employment, but going 200k into debt to get feedback on your writing (that you can get for free on the internet) from some literallyhu is dumb as shit.

even in your case, its a waste of four years unless you're actually a fundy and are set for life.
>>
>>24965672
I mean even if I did become a great writer after college, I doubt I'd say it was the college that did it. Great writer isn't the goal either
>its a waste of four years
Getting paid to read and not work for 4 years is a waste? Just say all reading is a waste of time then
>>
>>24965680
All college did was make me unhireable for the trade jobs I actually wanted to for a very long time. I wish I used it more for shitposting and reading.
>>
>>24965769
>the trade jobs I actually wanted to for a very long time
I can already tell by your tone you couldn't handle it
>>
>>24965512
Language/instrument/audio engineer/media post production

>>24965516
>You're a trust fund baby.
You do know universities offer full-ride scholarships, even to the poor students, right?
>>
>>24965626
>take a course in formal logic
this. took it as an elective (t. engineerfag) and it's probably come in handy more than any other non-math course I took
>>
>>24967294
I always hear retards talk about how much ivy leaguers spent so much on college but the two I know paid community college rates because there's so much financial aid
>>
>>24967294
He said he was rich in the post dumb fuck. Also, you do realize full ride scholarships are exceptionally rare, right? Less than 1% of students get them.
>>
>>24965589
>This
>Greek major
>Niche under translated minor and/or Historical Linguistics
>thesis rendering Niche text(s) into Greek, then English
>rinse & repeat postgrad
>begin from day 1, ez mode later on
>make a YouTube owning shortform primers on the subject with an eye for prospective Thesis translation book shilling (10% of follower count can be monetized for crowd funding purposes, generally)
>invest what you'd be spending on tuition/housing embezzling a student loan

>>24967379
You're retarded. The government gives out the GI Bill to millions
>>
>>24967415
>you want to go to college? just sign here and pledge your soul to Israel, Saar :^)
>>
>>24967466
Exactly why you're retarded for thinking someone who has college paid for is a trust fund baby kek
>>
>>24967466
That's my point
>>
>>24967466
Your soul belongs to Israel just by living the US
>>
>>24967379
>He said he was rich in the post dumb fuck.
No, he didn't. "I make a lot of money" is a subjective statement. Your standard of "rich" is likely different from mine or anyone else reading this thread. For all we know, he could be living in LOCL area, and the money he makes there is "a lot" but "poverty level" in a place like San Francisco or New York City.
> Also, you do realize full ride scholarships are exceptionally rare, right?
I did know that, yet the rarity is irrelevant.
>>
>>24965512
I'd do a language and learn to edit videos
>>
>>24965512
Study rhetoric and language so you can shitpost better
>>
>>24968162
Make a lot of money to where your degree is irrelevant is rich you dense dumbass. Good Lord you're easily triggered.
>>
>>24968190
Posting better on 4chan just means you adapted for the audience of demoralized pseuds
>>
>>24965680
God I hate Mcmansions. Americans can't buy class

>>24968640
that's a victorian estate from like 125 years ago, seems like maybe u just have no taste.
