Going to a liberal arts college was probably the biggest financial mistake of my life. I spent four years being "educated" by mostly leftist professors while being immersed into a student body that largely engaged in degenerate practices (ie. binge drinking and unnatural vices) for recreation. Upon graduating, I made only $5 per hour more than when I started college, but the degree had cost me and my parents more than $50,000.
If could do it over again, I would have gone to a trade school or a college for engineering.
