Did you learn anything in college?

**Skip Towne** · 11-05-2005, 08:58 AM

If so, do you use what you learned in your present job?

HolmeZz · 11-05-2005, 08:59 AM

I'm in the process of learning. Hopefully.

I learned that I didn't need to go to college.

While in college I thought I learned a lot. Once in the real world I have come to the conclusion that nothing I learned in college is really helping me with my business.

I learned that just because a school is 75% female doesn't mean they're all gonna be hot.

It's not what you get out of school, it's what you take with you. Though I got an econ. degree, I chose to take math (1 class short of a minor), physics, chem, and accounting as electives. I got way more out of those other classes.

I learned that in any environment that math has to be used - sit next to an Asian kid.

I've got a Pi Alpha girl in my Sigma Alpha bed. And when she goes down she gives me Pi Alpha head.

Even though I didn't make it through college(if I was ever to return I'd be a 9th term freshman)I got a degree in socilizing and have used it everyday for 20+ years in my career of sales.

Exactly. I have 2 Bachelor Degrees, one in Criminal Justice and one in Computer Information Services and NOTHING I learned in school helped me for any of my jobs.

I learned how to operate a fake ID business, which helped me in building/operating my current business.

I learned you can drink beer much faster if you use a funnel.
