That's what happens when the real world starts to hit us all, and we realize that the push towards college when we were growing up was largely propaganda (not to say teachers don't really believe in its usefulness, but they can't back it up with facts).
I was 'lucky' enough to only spend $30k on my seemingly-useless Computer Science degree. If I could go back and do it again, out of high school, I would go to tradeschool to become an electrician.
What a waste of money though, I wonder what else that $30k could have gone towards... or hell, just keep it as investments. A $30k piece of paper is in my bedroom though...
I'm not really that upset about college itself, I'm upset about all the people around me who fed me the lie (that they too believed), that getting a degree somehow sets you apart and unlocks all the high paying jobs. I think a master's degree holds more weight, but still.
