If you think college is a waste of time, I have an even better one waiting for you right now. The line at the unemployment office is now longer than ever and every employer is getting pickier and pickier about who they employ. What do you have and what does the fellow next to you have? Oh, you have a DEGREE? Gee, we could use someone who has COLLEGE smarts here.
There's always the welfare line. The thing about the welfare line is that less than 15% of the people in line for welfare have college degrees.
That should tell you something really important about the real VALUE of a college education. It's not the cost, it's the insurance it provides when you need a really good job when you hit your big earning years. Yeah, in the beginning the jobs are kind of thin and the money is even thinner, but over time you will start to outpace those of us who do not have a college degree and your resume will look better and better and that means more money.
Stupid is not going to school. Waste is walking away from the only opportunity you are going to have in your lifetime to insure your lifetime earnings will be maximized to the fullest extent. Smart is realizing that everything worth having takes some work to get and Spanish 3 is one of the things smart people are achieving. If you are having trouble remembering the words reduce your intake for a while. You have the rest of your life to smoke pot and have fun, but you only have the opportunity for an education NOW.
Don't fuck up your only opportunity to get ahead. You'll love me for this advice in ten years, so say thank you now, stay in school and study as hard as you can. Everything you learn has value in this world.
You can take that to the bank.
great the book i gotta buy for this class is 150 bucks fucking awesome.
It sounds like you are in the same kind of situation I was in when I was in college. I got down to my last semester, and my advisor noticed that I still had to take 3 semesters of foreign language. OOOOOPS. So much for graduating on time. I was incredibly pissed for the first semester, then I began to get into it.....during this time I took more classes and ended up double majoring. Now I use the Spanish I learned on a daily basis; and I'm incredibly glad that I was 'forced' into taking it.
Now, not saying college is your way into a good job. Hell, I double majored from a major university, have a clean record and am working a $9/ hr job right now........ times are tough man, but one day we'll be glad we persevered. My recommendation is try to do something with healthcare...... that's what I'm working on right now, and the job offers are starting to roll in........... if I could go back this is what I would have studied in college, not history .

If you think things are bad now wait until you have to work for a living, pay bills and eek out an existence in the real world..
Its nasty out here and your much safer taking shelter in college.
