my degree is still in the cardboard tube that the

college sent me, practically unopened. i've checked it once

and never looked at it again. i was an average

student with a 2.5 / 4.0 GPA, and 3.0 in my major.

the DEGREE IS USELESS, except as a checkmark

to get a reference.

I never even picked up the diploma for my bachelors. I hit the road the second after my last final, didn't even stick around for my own graduation. I agree, a bachelor's degree is a cake walk and a joke, apply yourself minimally and you'll walk away with a 3.0 or better. But it isn't entirely useless, a good number of those things on your list would have never even been an option for you if you hadn't had that BS.

i feel that the degree was a formality.

i never used the information directly from my degree,

i didn't keep the books that i studied, i didn't remember

most of the cursory knowledge that was taught.

i memorized stuff, passed tests, and moved on.

basically, school and college was just a reason

to learn how to study/read/think, and not

necessarily apply any of the information for

useful skills - except in the 2 cases i mentioned.

if i had become an accountant, math analyst, statistician,

researcher, actuary, or math professor maybe i wouldn't have

felt that way.
