College

College does not train you to work for other people nor does it even teach a skill to use in the work place. There are VERY few degrees that train you specifically for a real world job. This is even an argument many have against college.
BeerNuts must have gone to College in Utopia, which is not on this planet.

Dammit, If only my parents had the $7 Quadrillion dollars it would have taken to send me there like his parents obviously did.

The main point everyone is missing is that the OP is still young. Go to college (especially if you are getting financial help from your family). You can't look 10 years ahead at age 18. Sure you may not "use your degree" - but you will miss out. Also, I have spoken to many investors that turn down many investment ops because the requestor does not have a degree (if that's something you would ever consider).
 
If you already made up your decision why the fuck are you still looking for answers ?
I'm in my final year of college, and I can say the following:
-Good parts: chicks, new people, opportunities.
-Bad parts: there will be a few classes that are going to suck but you can get by pretty easy.

It's your choice, but if you decide to go you should definitely choose something you're interested in!
 
If you're 18-19 and have $300,000 saved up then you're ahead of 90% of America. Keep doing what you're doing.
 
Not to sound too harsh but keep this in mind:

You're not Bill Gates. You're not Steve Jobs. You're not Mark Zuckerberg.

You have the potential to get a lot out of college. Work hard to meet smart people and professors who you could work with to develop ideas and expand your current business. Who knows, maybe you'll find a smart CS major to partner up with and use your IM monies to start something really cool and innovative.

It won't hurt you if you take advantage of the opportunity. If you go there not wanting to be there and don't put any effort in, then yes, what is the point of going in the first place?

THIS THIS THIS
 
If you have around $300k saved up do the following...

-Buy Black convertible lambo
-Buy nice flat/pay upfront for student accommodation
-Go to college and pull bitches in your lambo errday
-Have a few campaigns(sites or whatever) that can give you passive income without much work
-Have a blast a college
-Get degree
-Acquire more money

That's what I would do. Unless you think you can have 1M in the bank, but the way IM is going just now, I wouldn't bank on it.

I'm still not sure how college is going to do any of that. I'm going to Carnegie Mellon (arguably the top computer science school in the world) and the focus is placed almost entirely on grooming CS undergrads for jobs at Facebook and Google. A couple months ago I went to a presentation of CMU's startup program and all of the startups but one were complete jokes.

College would be the first place I'd look if I wanted to find a good workhorse, but the last place I'd look if I wanted to find a partner to help me innovate and bring my work to another level.
 
Your life would end up better if you donated that 300k to a charity right now. You've obviously lost your hustle and you're now fucked.

LOL, I went to a rinky dink state school in Florida. I slacked off like all hell, partied my ass off, was there for 5yrs, barley passed with my 2.7 GPA, met my wife, and got two business BA's . Had an awesome time, it was well worth the 20k in debt at the end (I had a job, paid for school myself).

OP: You do know you only have to live in a state for one year before you register to be in-state right? If you are making money now, just do it for a year, then go to college and pay 90% less. I am sure you mom will let you wait the year to save 30k+. Plus if you continue to make as much as you are you are now you can pay off your loans in a year, or just not take any in-state tuition is a joke.

Your lucky.
You'd be grateful every day to breathe Carnagie Mellon air. Life is not only AM, this one could die tomorrow but you have the mindset to challenge new and other businesses.
What about startups? It's a matter of numbers in every place of the world not only your college, 90% of startups funded by angel investors are useless crap, the other 10% make funding profitable.
 
Move to a college town, go to school when you feel like it, fuck bitches, rage your face off, smoke massive amounts of chronic, and do some AM in your free time.

Quit being a pussy.

Just because. :)
 
The rest of the world has no problem realizing why we are among the least educated nations on the planet...I wonder why it's so hard for us to see...hmmm...this thread kind of clears that up.

Every experience in life offers something valuable if you're adept enough to realize it. It's not college that's a waste of time, it's the student that's a waste of space (potentially).

Rofl I think following around anyone who posts about how college is a waste of time and correcting all grammatical and factual errors they make is a just punishment for wasting our time with their stupidity.
