What is the most important thing to get out of college?

I have to disagree with some of our colleagues here at Yahoo Answers who stated that job skills are the most important things to acquire from going to college.\n\nI believe the most important thing is education. And more specifically..... learning how to teach yourself. The subject you major in is somewhat coincidental. A well-educated, well-rounded renaissance person is a blessing for his/her own life and those around them.

The first most important thing is to graduate and than it's the GPA that comes into consideration.

Advertise at the college. Most colleges have boards to post things on. Put on the sign that you want to sell it and how much you want. Best way to do it quick is to put O.B.O.(or best offer. I am sure there are some freshmen kids wanting to get out of the dorm. You might get a bite quick seeing as how summer is coming up!

Tips #1: College is a big waste of time

Living in a dorm all the way.\n\nIt is important to learn the skills of living on your own before you are completely thrust out to live on your own. People grow up faster in my experience if they have to live in the dorms. Plus that way there is no commute and you have quick access to all the educational and social resources. Be careful about spending too much time with friends and making poor decisions. Those can come back to bite you without your parents looking over your shoulder. Act like a responsible adult and you should be fine.

Depends on what you want to get out of it.\n\nIf you are being strictly crass, then go for a professional major that seems to have a glut of graduates right now. By the time you have your degree there will be a demand again because everybody else is majoring in the fields that currently need people, and in four years there will be a glut there.\n\nIf you are speaking of the true value of going to college, then major in what interests you.

Go to a real local college in your state rather than some nameless one in what you think is a cooler place.  You can get away after you get an education.

you have to show the state that you are able to support yourself, by showing how much money you can make, and how you are going to school. and show them where you will stay. and so on and so forth. before you can be emancipated. goodluck.

Study hard to get into college. Retain little knowledge.\nFinish college.\nGet a job at a company with nice perks, work for someone that's never had to work in their life making them money.\nThey wanted you to do stupid tasks like high school and college learning very little, just to make sure you could do busy work and listen to instructions, it's to prepare you for corporations.\nWork 40 years, when you're starting to break down, you have permission to live life.\n\nHave fun, sheep.

never heard of a college of kicking out a hard-studying student who has a way of paying tuition.\n\nJob prospects depend on the field. I'd say things like economics and business are probably a better bet than English or Philosophy

No. What's more important is that you learn things that interest you. If you learn how to learn, then you can change what you do throughout your life. I know an economics major developing software, a political science major managing a multimillion dollar division of a corporation... what's more important than what these people studied, is that they learned how to pick up new skills, and they jut kept learning things that interested them.\n\nLife will take you lots of interesting places, and you don't need to plan them all before your freshman year of college.

You have time to make up your mind. Talk to your school counselor. What are some things that interest you in school, like classes or sports or hobbies? Talk with some other people as well. You do not need to go to college the minute you get out of High School. Sometimes it is even a good idea to go to a Community College as a Liberal Arts Major to get yourself into the college atmosphere and get an idea of what might interest you. All in all, just do what you feel most comfortable doing, and try and talk with some other people about your future.

GET OFF THE COMPUTER!! That is step #1!  Get involved with something.  Try a fraternity jsut do soemthing you do not want to waste the best time of your life on the computer when that is what you will be doing for a job.  get out there and enjoy life.  if it is hard to get off the comp, start by making a rule-with every 1 hr you spend on the computer, you spend 1 hour socializing, or doing work, something.
