Instead, most people I know sign up for Lib Arts or Business or Psych, and then fail or do poorly because they are to involved with partying or other bullshit. They care more about the experience than learning. Then when they graduate they have the same degree that a million other people have, didn’t learn jack shit, and can’t find anyone to hire them. > > It took me a bit of trial and error but once I learned that I love working with IT I went all out. Now I have a cushy 9-5 job, amazing benefits, a super flexible boss, my business on the side which makes me as much money as my 9-5’r and I actually learned something when I went to school. > > Just my .02 sometimes it takes a few tries, but you gotta find something you like, couldn’t agree more. seeing as i have had 4 majors lol…and 2 minors. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-im-still-in-college-because-i-dont-want-to-get-a-real-job-yet-thread/260205)._
