Well I've paid thousands and not even gone. Besides you're paying for the piece of paper at the end, not sitting through a bullshit US history class.

you sound very....young

While he may not have been very eloquent, there is still a valid point in there.

Most (if not all) colleges have quite a few requirements for graduation that do not pertain at all to your major and/or general education.

Case in point: in college I was required to take a geology course and a social sciences course. So as a business major I am being FORCED to sit in a class called "life in the universe" (spoiler alert: we aren't aware of any) and another one called "animal behavior". Wholly irrelevant to what I am doing in my life and completely unnecessary.

I paid attention and attended as little as was required to get a good enough grade that it wouldn't effect my GPA.

    I bet he's only 17 and listens to Led Zeppelin and the classics, not any of this new bullshit.

    why did you put 4 periods in your ellipsis? was 3 not enough for you?

    College isnt just about the paper saying you can do things. It is also about making connections with colleagues, professors, and professionals. You're missing out by holding the "it's only for a piece of paper" mindset while attending college.

    You say that, but half the companies at the job fair won't give you a second glance without at least a 3.0 on that resume. Knowing people gets you the interview, but not the offer.

    Then again, it's not like a 3.0 is really THAT difficult.

    As a recent college grad I agree with the sentiment here, but there are required courses that just don't matter. I was an economics and philosophy major and I had to take Spanish. Why did I have to pay to take Spanish? In that sense that class was entirely about the piece of paper it allowed me to get.

    Yup felt the same about having to choose between 1010 classes like Geology, Anthropology, Film appreciation, Art History etc. for a software engineering degree.

    It's okay, he doesn't know he's missing out because he's too busy not being there.

    Well, I graduated, got a job in my field and live a comfortable life. I'm not sure where you went to school, but it can be hard to make a personal connection with a prof when they have over 1000 students. Obviously there are classes that you shouldn't skip. However, I'll be damned if I was going to watch some jackass read off of a slide show for two hours. Plus, my connections through my job in school were worth way more than a prof could ever do for me. Furthermore, college is completely about that piece of paper. In 90% of cases, you could know the CEO of a company and have a fat chance of getting hired without a degree. Now, thank you for assuming you know things about my life after a two sentence quip about skipping class.

    While he does seem young and voiced his opinion in a vulgar fashion, he does have a point.

    I'm a computer science major, and I consider general education classes a complete waste of time. First, it is nothing I haven't learned in high school, but maybe that's just my city college. But second is that I have connections, and I would rather be learning to do what I am striving for as a career than learning the concepts of geography. It's just not in my line of future.

    I went to a pure-tech CS school where the only non-CS classes were related to doing CS as a whole (public speaking, interpersonal relationships, psychology in the context of character development, historical archetypes and mythology), or were english. I wish I had the opportunities to have branched out and tried different things than CS in a formal setting. The purpose of those "throwaway" classes is exactly this: to make you more rounded as a person. Now, do these classes actually achieve that? Not sure. Is college the appropriate place for that? I'm inclined to say no.

    You have to learn some shit. If you are an engineer and you don't know fucking calculus you're going to have a bad time. Yeah you learn a lot in the professional world but you have to learn something in college.
