Re: What was the biggest thing you got out of your College Edu? Was it worth it?
I spent 5 years in college. 5 years in an out-of-state school with out-of-state tuition. Ended up with two degrees. Worth every penny.

I'd say only about 20% of what you learn in college is in the classroom. You really are forced to grow up when you go to college. Especially if you go to a school far away and live on campus. I met all types of people and had a total blast!

I think it is very important to be "on your own" somewhat before you settle down. Sow those wild oats! You have the rest of your life to work full time. Enjoy those years between 18-21. Study hard in school and you can be almost anything you want to be.
