I chose this major with the advice of a counselor because I couldn't make up my mind between a psych degree, a poli sci degree, and a business degree. The good news, the median income in the state of California with this digree is $89k-$92k. The bad news, it requores about 40-50 more units than a basic psyc degree.

Again, if you are on a Mommy Sponsorship Program (tm) in school where tuition is paid and your breaks are your own, and you need the captive audience to find girls, then yeah - I totally see your point and am pretty jealous.

Ok you are hella dumb. In college, you don't have to go to the bar, you don't have to go to the club to meet girls (although obviously many people do). In college, there are parties every friday and saturday night guaranteed. And everyone likes to party it up in their individual residences thursday night as well. Hell, I've heard that in places like U. Madison and Dartmouth, they got parties all week.

Free beer, free hard liquer, free everything, free girls to freak with, plenty of drunk people of the opposite sex willing to go for it, or at least make out drunk who you'll never see again. I mean seriously, I don't know anyone who had a blast in college living the life that college promises who won't say that college was the BEST time of their life.


If you don't say that, that's because you aren't living the college life. You are missing out. All you did was play video games and hung out with a few of your close buddies all day and on the weekends. All you did was go to class, do you homework, take your exams and graduate with a degree. If you did that, then of course college is overrated.



College will only be the ***-kicking experience if you take advantage of what it offers. This is part of my theory why some people can go to Harvard and still blow ***** at life after they graduate. You can't just GO to college, you gotta take action to actively pursue knowlege, to pursue the resources at your disposal!


And if I could give a piece of advice to an entering freshman, it would be this: don't decide not to major in, say, engineering because you don't think you'll like it. Don't decide not to go premed or prelaw b/c you don't want to go to school for 4 years. Give stuff the benefit of the doubt. You DON'T want to be a senior in 3 years having majored in communications, or sociology, and wondering what the hell you are going to do after your graduate. (no offence to people of those majors, I recognize that people majoring in communications or sociology have probably gone on to do great things, like entreprenuership, business school, etc. I'm just giving an example of majors that leave a great many seniors in stress over their future careers)

Having a career and school and the differences are like night and day. When you're out of school and you find a nice paying job, the world seems like a hell whole lot of a friendlier place. No more studying, no more overnight cramming. Your worries are only during your work hours and nothing more. It can get boring however.
