    Yeah. It's different. I've heard that College is more hands on work, where as University is more doing work on paper and stuff like that.
    Eh, it wouldn't really change my parents thinking.

    ^ Ya, that's how chinese parents see it, to them, college is for "dumber people"
    In fact, actually, Chinese parents see any career that doesn't pay 6-figure as BAD ..... so you pretty much have no choice but to be a Doctor, Lawyer, succesful business person.... -lol

    You do not need a college/university degree to make six figures. Most of the guys above me have never been to college (most meaning about 60%-70%).

    Wow... well if not college or university, you just have to work really hard. But college or Uni degree still really helps you.

    It helps if you're really specializing in something such as medical, law, accounting, etc. If you have a degree otherwise you'll realize you're not at all in an advantage. If anything you're behind because corporations look more for work experience than education. When I recruit for my department I don't want some kid fresh out of college I want a kid thats been working his ass off and know the field first hand as opposed to reading about it. I recommend kids in college to get part-time jobs/Internships and keep em for at least a year a piece.

    Yeah that's true. Now a days, to get a job, you need to know someone.
    But it's true. Like, obvious people will want a person who has hands on experience, but they still lack in knowledge sometimes. Eh I don't know. My parents won't let me not go to Uni... so only way to go. And I would like to further my knowledge... I just got to make it into co-op.

    Degree holders often have a higher salary than people without degrees on average.

    Personally I want to go uni, its meant to be best times of your life -rockon

    lol.
    But then again, this lady who was speaking to my class one tiime about university and stuff, said that her son who didn't go to Uni or college makes more money than her daughter could every make, and she is in uni. Like, it depends in the career path you choose.

    yeh some people have the ability to make money no matter what, but on average your more employable if you have that amazing degree!

    Or win the lottery - no education, skill, etc needed! just luck

    lol. Well at least you're still furthering your education. So that's still good.
    People who go to college aren't stupid. You can do just as well with a college degree, and better.
    Many people believe university is better than college so eh.
