What are you studying ? / studied

[macdonjo3]

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, University of Toronto.

Your college years are the most fun you'll ever have if you do it right.

I don't think it's as fun in other parts of the world, but it's fucking fun on this side of the world.

I wasn't in a frat for a couple reasons, but ended up partying a lot with Pike guys because I dated a sorority girl and that was a ton of fun.

My advice: fuckin do it, or you'll regret it and be grumpy.


EDIT:

Ya....

Looking back, I wish I partied more during uni, it's one of the few things that I regret in my life, being "too nice and correct".
So I say to my nephews and other young kids: Don't neglect your studies BUT make sure you party A LOT you might never get another time to do so.

My education didn't cost much (there were no fees at the time). My parents only paid my rent and I worked all 4 years, so I lived comfortably. Looking back, I wish I partied more during uni, it's one of the few things that I regret in my life, being "too nice and correct".
So I say to my nephews and other young kids: Don't neglect your studies BUT make sure you party A LOT you might never get another time to do so.

In terms of my education, it was definitely valuable but I felt it was too focused on the corporate world, there is so much more to business than big corps.

I partied in high school and college and it was fun at the time, and I did meet a lot of girls, but it's not like it's life changing memories lol. And I was in one of the best "party spots" in the nation down in Miami living on the beach. Partying is not an accomplishment you can look back on. I wouldn't regret that aspect of missing out on it if I were you.

Focus on the future. All that "college is the best years of your life" is another falsehood. I believe that is a self limiting mentality. I've had more fun after college working on new ideas, making music, and traveling. Heading back to Cartagena, Colombia soon, I better go brush up on my español.

Unfortunately, I'm studying computer science in Italy.. one of the worst decisions I've ever made Lol.
I'm on my way to six figures thanks to IM in just one and half year of doing IM (seriously) and started with almost no budget.

IN SHORT:

1. Don't study something so serious (medicine, Engineering, etc..) unless you are WILLING to work in it your whole life (Your career).
2. If you'll attend one of these courses and you'll take it seriously, most probably you won't succeed in IM. (You won't have any time/energy to do it.)
3. If you want Digital Marketing to be your career and dropping out is no big deal for you or your family, society or whatsoever then do it.
4. If you want Digital marketing to be your career and you want to get be a University graduate, pick up an easy course and do it part time (Language, tourism, etc..)
5. If you're willing to put in work, effort in Digital marketing you'll make WAY more money than any other career.

My Personal Opinion:

It's not worth it, If you put the effort that will be done in Pharmacy school in IM/Digital marketing you WILL make it.

I was studying business. Decided to leave the program, since I could learn from Google.

 

[LinksDomains]

Yeah honestly , I don't feel college is worth for me personally . I've come to the point where I'm doubting myself will I succeed after dropping out haha

Of course it is not worth... you are studying bullshits and after graduating you just know bullshits that anyone cares about.

I studied solvent abuse at school.

The whole education worldwide is focused on producing rat racers. Graduate, work for a big company, retire. You cannot learn to be a entrepreneur, you were born to be.

Unfortunately, I felt very "depressed" at university and in large corporations. I always hated to stick to the rules, to memorize lots of bullshit. As a freelancer I feel most comfortable and have no financial debts. Of course you need a temporary job until you are successful on the internet, but with a lot of desire and struggle this is achievable.

Yeah, intelligence definitely helps. But there's also a lot of intelligent people who are not successful. They could have book smarts, but they might not have any street smarts, or the ability to communicate. I've seen a countless number of these people. They're smart enough to do well on a standardized test, but they have no discipline, drive or creativity. A less intelligent person could have a stronger work ethic, thus achieving more success. My opinion is that it's not about what you know, it's how you apply what you know to create value.

So, correlation is not causation? What was the point of that 'study' you quoted in an earlier post?

"In a study of 11,745 NBA players, it showed that 94% of them are tall"

or

"...But there's also a lot of tall people who are not in the NBA"

Yea , and I look at the university a place that you meet people with similar interests or goals , unfortunately there weren't any entrepreneurs in my course , so I'm deciding I'll drop out and just study something to get a degree , while I'm self-educating myself in the mean time

Yes, that’s the thing you should do

Studied psychology for 8 years.

Quite a long period. Could you please share, did that help you and do you work it now?

 

[BabyJoker]

I went to a college,studied programming but I found out I love marketing and hardware more than software so I decided to drop out of the college. College life was epic,but programming is not what I love to do. I plan to go to different college next year (marketing/tourism/IT)

Answer depends on your country again
$100k in debt for a degree doesn't make sense to me
But if it's free then continue

I don't think that's the point here. When you invest in something, your main goal should be how to profit from this, not the price itself. And don't forget time is money.

So what is your take?

[Makemeproguys]

One thing I can guarantee tho
College is far far better than fucking school
School just sucks
College is more liberal and open minded
I would suggest to go college and find your best friends
Kids in school are dumb and time pass only
Be friend with mature people

College>School

I told it an hour ago - learining something specific and turning it to a business is the thing he should do as he doesn't want to be in the corporate world. I don't know whether the college is better than school, actually convinced it's not. When searching for future business partners, for example, this is not the place. And the useful knowledge can be gained with 2-3 courses on Udemy
