Do you have a degree?

Was in college for 3 semesters. Flunking out was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Tom Woods made history cool.

Tom Woods and Dr. Paul along with RPF is part of the reason I got so excited about history, even though I was already pretty engrossed beforehand. I read scholarly history papers and such for fun because I find it fascinating that there are literally hundreds of different views on every single event in history. The public school system should be ashamed promoting the fallacy that there is only one "correct" history and there is no need to dig any deeper.

Political science degrees are the lowest of low degrees as far as getting anything. I know a girl who did nonstop partying and drugs and got one of those degrees just because she showed up to class.

I'm getting straight A's, whatever that's worth. Seriously, though, my school had a path one could take to get two degrees for the price of one as long as I forfeited all of my electives and replaced them with Political Science courses. Now I am getting two degrees in three years with a minor, hopefully, and I will do it with virtually no debt.

You are correct on the whole. Political Science degrees are stepping stones to bigger degrees, on their own, they are virtually worthless.

Two degrees from a top 30 university

My best friend was getting straight A's ,attended ASU and was 1 semester away from obtaining a degree in Political Science and something else but the state fined him 15,000 dollars for something relating to carbon monoxide output of his vehicle and it not being registered. Anyhow, my friend ended up not graduating,in debt and began working at a restaurant as a waiter. He began pulling in more money and less work than people who have degrees and now he is a trainer at a top notch restaurant and still moving up.He told me "you know dude, degrees really are bullshit I've come to realize its a waste of money in most fields"

College really is more for lawyers,or doctors. Anything else really doesn't do much. I actually intend to go to a trade school just to learn welding and get as good at it as possible..already know basics and I only intend to go to school to learn just because they may have expensive tools I don't have access to learn with beyond arch welders and acetylene torches.Welding is in high demand.

Welding is a great skill to learn! It will always be in demand. Once you learn oxy-acetylene, TIG is easy. Stick welding is even easier than both. MIG/wire-fed is a little hard, but I never got to practice much. I always thought cutting torches are fun, too. Remember never to look at the arc when you're doing arc welding, bro.

BS in Exercise Science, baby! *flexes muscles* I'm about to actually head into seminary this fall though. I still may go back and get my masters in exercise physiology someday, but I'm planning on getting a MDiv as they call it.

ASU makes bank on ripping students off as well as misusing taxes

I tip my (Ron Paul 2012) hat to you, sir! I just drive 'em. I've never presumed to try to tinker with 'em that much!

HS drop out here, just been making my way in the world since I was 16.

Fortunately, I have never let schooling stand in the way of my education.

My thinking exactly.

There are letters behind one's name to jump through the hoops and satisfy an imaginary requirement, and then there is education. In all fairness, sometimes education does occur when satisfying the hoops -but plenty of times it doesn't.

No degree here.

I do have a high school diploma. (jumped through that hoop)

But most importantly, I can read, a skill taught to me first and foremost by my parental units.

I do enjoy a specific instructional class here and there, and view it as quite a luxury.
