[QUOTE=Pluperfect_Arson;14433262]That is true, but I would actually go to school for a while. I would actually like to study the entire spectrum, learn what I am dealing with, etc.[/QUOTE]

True, but in reality most of the stuff to do with finances and the stock market is common sense that can't be taught in a classroom, only learned while doing.

Agreed, but there are also higher mathematics that I would still like to know and whatnot. I will only be 22 when I finish college, so I will still be young and wild. :p

I have no idea what I want to do. I have no interest in anything.

I hope to still be in my [late] 20's when I finish my PhD.

im just the opposite, i have interest in everything and cant make up my mind.

True, if I stayed in school I would have been 22 when I got out. But school is for losers.

Good luck with that, take courses over the summer and help yourself along a bit.

Nah. I planned my undergraduate degree perfectly, so I don't have to take anything outside of the regular school year. My MA, I'll probably go right into, and have that finished in 2 years, and then I'll probably take a year off before doing my PhD, and I'd like to get that done in 4 years.

[QUOTE=User Name;14433286]I have no idea what I want to do. I have no interest in anything.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I become bored with most everything too quickly, so I figure that the stock market will be enough of a gamble to keep me interested. :p

[QUOTE=irishslappop;14433313]spoken like a true dumbass.:thumb:[/QUOTE]

Actually I really like school, but I have no idea what I want to do. So I am taking some time off to figure things out. Or I might just talk my way into a high paying job, that could work out well.

Man, why do the cool schools have to cost so much?

[QUOTE=Akira;14433463]Man, why do the cool schools have to cost so much?[/QUOTE]

Because you are paying for a name, not better education.

There is only a very small grain of truth in that.

How do you think those schools got their "names"? It wasn't by proving crappy education.

Yeah, but I am talking about courses. Example: Berklee's Film Scoring program. Look at this course list:

Why can't a school that is actually affordable offer a film scoring program like that?

Noob.


Anyways, as much as it hurts me to say it, Justin is kind of right. You really do pay exorbitant amounts of money just for the name.

Because it costs a ton of money to pay for that program.

I am not saying that they provide substandard education, far from it. Many of those schools have some of the best education in the world, but it is only marginally better then the other schools that are out there. Also they got their names because they have been around for much longer and have always been leading the way, but that isn't to say that they are a better choice.

For example, the London School of Business (London England), set the standard for business programs in the late 40's early 50's, but everyone copied them and made their own little improvements. Then in the 80's and 90's the Harvard system got copied, and now the Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario is the system that is being copied. These three schools of business are among the best in the world, but everyone is right behind them because they copy their system and curriculum, so by going to these schools you are really only paying for the name, not a better education.

^^And paying for a name just happens to be the thing we do in this world. With school, with clothes, with musical instruments.. etc.

Yeah you might talk yourself into a high paying job. But it will be a high paying job for a kid, not a grown up. 1500 in a month may be a high paying job when you're 20 or something. But at 25, it's an underpaid job. You need more money to have a family, a nice house and not working for lik2 24-7.

They have a big film program because they have the money to put into designing the program, because they charge a bunch of money.

I know a bunch of people that don't have degrees that make $70,000+ a year. Why? Because they do their job and do it well, thus getting them promotions and more money. You do NOT need a university or college degree to get a good, high paying job.

I have no idea how much 70 000 a year is compared to our standards. But it seems a lot to me..

But if you haven't read my edit on the previous post:

You might succeed, but then you need to have your own business, quite a bit of guts and a good talking mouth. And still, you need to work a LOT. The most important thing: an idea. No wait, that's the second important thing. There are millions of people with idea's, but only a few who can work them out, properly.

If you happen to actually know some of these people, not know them by name, but know them personally. Then they might give you some advice, but most of all, they will tell you this what I just said. With my work as a cocktail bartender, I tend to come at quite a few places. With all sorts of people, so I happen to speak to people like what you described. Succesfull or not.. :thumb:

I hope that it will all work out for you and wish you luck if you're actually going to try something like that. Have a good network!

How are you?
