What are your experiences with college? Did you find work in the field you went for?

In short, it worked for me. I got scholarships and later worked as a research assistant so the cost wasn't prohibitive and, while I had to stick around to get my Master's, I ultimately got the job I most wanted. 20ish years later it's still a good fit.

In my case I knew I'd never have the drive/fire to come back to it so I had to finish while I was there. More power to you!

That said it was a pure transaction between the college and I. I never sensed they cared greatly about their students (donors and prestige over student services) and I therefore have no lingering warm fuzzies for them or their sports teams despite all of the mail they send me asking for donations.
