How is it a meme? I started at 16 as long as you work hard toward a goal and volunteer at several possible job locations to get experience and connections you'll be miles ahead of normal people. I had my bachelor's degree and a starting salary of 70k when I hit twenty. I mean if you're lazy with no goal then yeah college is stupid

Sad, 16 year olds at college are true wizards in waiting

wut

16 year olds in college are dropout chavs, who couldn't cope with 6th form

Whatever you say anon I'm not going into my life details but find a goal and work hard toward it or stay the heck away from college unless you want tons of debt for nothing

My mom pushed me so much to go anywhere after highschool (I wanted to retake the SAT-equivalent in my country) so I ended up in a shitty rural uni working on a degree I dislike.
Of course I eventually dropped out for many reasons.

This meme wasted many years of my life.

Your "country" sounds like a shithole.

>>25770448
that's because it is a shithole indeed, but at least I'm not $100k in debt or dead due to lack of medical insurance.

how do you start college at 16? is this some american thing? starting university in my country is basically impossible before 18

>Be underachiever
>Flunk out or choose a worthless major
>"IT WAS A MEME IVE BEEN TRICKED!"

I went to college at 18. Got a degree in a shitty arts subject, nearly landed a really good 70k p/a job in Hong Kong but couldn't get the paperwork for it, ended up going into a PhD in a different shitty arts subject.

My life is a joke, but at least people think I'm smart for whatever reason.

Yes, we can get credits for basic college courses before we graduate highschool. You can start them as early as you want if you are homeschooled.

Some kids graduate Ivy league before they're 18.
