What about not paying for college? I'm loving the college life and not paying a dime for it.



Nice gig if you can get it. Not everyone is so lucky, unfortunately.


Right. I'm just used to seeing the stance "College is a waste of (time/money/etc)". I mean, if you're paying for college, it's a tradeoff just like anything is.

It's an investment. If it's not going to pay off in the long run, don't go. Basic economics. That was my point, didn't intend to sound so arrogant in my op. :(


Though now that I look back, I generally don't appreciate being told that my scholarships were attributed to luck. Especially considering how hard I worked for them in HS and how hard I continue to work to keep them.
