I met my wife at university, so of course it was worth it!

I actually went back to school to finish my degree while doing IM full-time. Right now it just makes for a nice wall decoration but I definitely don't regret getting it.
I didn't go to school for work to begin with, I went because I enjoy developing myself and working alongside people with the same values - something you can't get from simply buying and reading books.
Although with free sites like coursera.org, I see college becoming even more obsolete than it already is. If you haven't already, check it out: https://www.coursera.org/

you on one of those special grants only black people get? You know the ones so the college can show how diverse they are.
Yes, I get $200/semester for being black. The rest of my $13k/semester is paid by a combination of state, school and federal grants (majority) and interest free student loans. I get a check at the beginning of the semester to go here.
I am finishing my Bachelors this May in marketing and a minor in business. I am happy to finally be finishing my studies even though I have no plans to use my degree anywhere.
Do I regret spending four years in college? Not at all. For the few here that actually work their asses off everyday, then stepping away for a few hours to educate yourself on other matters or socialize with people on non-business matters isn't a bad thing.
So many people on this forum speak about school being a complete waste of time, but at the same time many of them work in a half-assed way. They would put in 5-6 hours of work a day, and then spend several hours fucking around on this forum or Youtube. Why not spend those hours in a classroom, reading a text book, work on your social skills? I hate to throw myself into this example, but I have been going to school religiously with good grades, playing division 1 sports, and doing better financially than the vast majority of members here that have all the time in the world.
I have gotten used to tiresome schedule and I know that when I finally graduate this May, I will substitute the time I put aside for school with time for business.
