After over a decade of not using my degree I dropped more than 50 k on, I think its 50% worth it .
It took so long because while in school I got good with a different career path making good money.
Almost 15 years later I started at the bottom (Rap song) =) and not even half way to the top!
Now mind me this new path did not need a degree but experience and I got that in 8 years.
Long story short im glad I experiencedsome College but glad I went the route in Certifications much cheaper.
Took a few years off after high-school worked a bunch of factory line work. Hated it. Quit. Went to school for adventure recreation and park operations then got into natural resources and environmental law inspection and enforcement then graduated and got into home building and farming. Pointless education but heck the parties were worth it and police have a damn hard time taking advantage of me after my law education.
Went to college. Sociology and history.
I was a pretty good student until my final year.
I worked all my schooling, drank a lot, took drugs, went crazy, got into trouble all the time, but I still did my homework. In my last year, I’ve seen the devil will take his share. I paused college, boarded a ship, and sailed. Then I drank and took drugs along all the parallels and meridians.
And suddenly I stopped with all that shit. Without effort and toil. There was a kind of jump in my head.
I didn’t finish college and it’s not that I’m too sorry. I’m sorry I didn’t develop skills with my hands. And a mind that would be in tune with those skills
