Comment on Ask HN: Should I attend college?

Comments

Don't go to an expensive school. Second, work while you go to school. Lastly, you don't have to finish and get the degree, just get the foundations of what you need and a few great connections.

If you don't go to college, you won't get college experiences. Trust me, college experiences are some of the best in life.

If you go to a super expensive school and don't work, really depends on how much money mommy and daddy got, plus you don't want to be they guy who shows up for a Web Dev position with all your fun algorithmic theories but you hand code new functionality like a chump.

Either way, you'll be fine if you're typing if-then statements but get some life experience, too, or else you'll just be a nerd with no stories, aka lonely.
