Looking back, the majority of my college experience was a waste of time, and (more importantly?) money. If I knew back then what I knew now, I would have taken clarinet and conducting lessons, music theory/sightsinging, piano, and that's it.
I'm looking into getting a die casting job (which pays A LOT better than pushing carts at wal-mart), and experience isn't necessary. They train you on what you need to know, and BAM! $500 paid weekly.
Switzerland has the highest per-capita incomes in the world, and most people there don't finish high school.

It's irresponsible, and ridiculous, for any educated person to write that college is not needed.

Why can't those things be learned before people go to college?
