Yeah, fuck that. I didn't go because I had no interest in sitting in yet more classrooms listening to people drone on and smelling other people's farts for 4 more years

What did you spend your money on?

A degree focusing on intensive career training in a field that is highly demanded, and networking,...

or a "life experience" and a degree in underwater basket weaving?

I mean I get why people like being edgy about this, but the statistics don't lie. A bachelor's degree on average increases weekly pay by about 50% over an associate degree or trade/apprenticeship. You can absolutely make a good living without a degree, but they are definitely worth the cost for most people.
