Didn’t finish college. I started a degree like 15 years ago but a stipulation of my scholarship was that I didn’t get a job (to better focus on school work) but the scholarship wasn’t enough for me to live on. I pretty much hated college, felt like everyone else was having fun and making friends but no one wanted to be friends with someone who had literally no money.
There was a college bar I went to sometimes when I could scrounge up enough for a beer, and they had a tip jar with a note on it that said “who cares? It’s your parent’s money!”
I was pretty bitter about it for a long time.
My current job will pay for me to take classes, I just haven’t had time yet.
Did you go to college/what was your experience with college?
