ITT talk of your college experience and recommend tips for a senior like me (or others) on which one to attend. I am thinking a service academy but I am not sure. Give me /adv/.
>inb4 colleges are a sham
They kinda are, yet they are a necessity for someone wanting to get a good job nowadays, so no one wants to hear it.
I tried college after I got out of the military. It was miserable. So I dropped out and luckily got a job making $54,000/yr

Make your college experience worthwhile. Don't just go and get good grades. Actually try to get something meaningful out of your classes, even the mandatory ones. The quality of your education isn't up to your professors: it's up to you. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll be ahead of the game.

Welp, that's about it. I hate this.
I recommend hurrying the fuck up. American universities are slowly transitioning into shitty social justice daycares. It's really fucking disgusting to what was once an intellectual haven become a housing place for shitlords and false victims. Try to avoid places that force gender studies and intersectional bullshit on you regardless of major. I had to sit though a semester of the shit because I double majored in English. Apparently victims are more important to my understanding of English than Shakespeare

I'm guessing you went to Berkley? I remember reading something about critical theory being mandatory for English lit majors, but Shakespeare wasn't
Don't go unless you actually want to and know what you want to study.

Give us more info faggot
We cant just tell you what to do
What do YOU want to do? Career wise in life?
Don't go to college if you don't even know. You'll be wasting your time and money

Academy* sorry on mobile. That being said college is fucking awesome it's the best time of your life as long as you get an employable degree it's a fast track to six figures plus it's incredible networking which while the opportunity cost of going to college might be high in immediate net $$ in the end chances are pretty good that those 4 years will give you a job without a glass ceiling etc
