I will say it again, from college I've learned "Idiots go to college and waste money while smart people don't"
Not that no one should go but make your own decision, just remember if you go, for every thing you learn in college someone has learned it outside of college...is it worth the cost?

Yea you know its all bullshit man, its corrupt and horrible I mean I'm sure I could have done DNA homolog research like on my own! All I needed was my own lab, a couple hundred thousand dollars of equipment, and about 10 years worth of self teaching. There was no benefit of having experts in the field all together in one place, and I'm sure had I just been self studying I would have come across the concept of differential brain growth, cDNA, polymerize chain reaction DNA replication, not to mention all the biochemistry used to isolate the selected strands!
Man I wasted all that time and money on a corrupt institution!
I guess I'm just an idiot, after all only idiots go to college.

The funny thing about self study, is that if it weren't for the Universities, most of the self study materials wouldn't even exist. So while for some people college is obviously a waste of time, for many it is indispensable. I would also argue for a VAST majority of those for whom college is a waste of time, it was a waste of time because they didn't take advantage of the resources, not because college itself was wasting their time.
