Anything that requires children/their parents to solicite people to buy stuff as a fund raiser.  Not worth it for anyone involved. 

Only exception is Girl Scout cookies.  However, that's not really soliciting.  That's just them setting up in front of a store or laying down an order form on a table to sell themselves.

Hanging Christmas lights on the house is def worth it. But it's a total waste of time to try to save those shitty little lights you put on Christmas trees. Half the time they won't work again next year anyway. I just toss em with the tree.

Painting (doing it right) sucks and I'd rather pay someone else to do it.

Same goes for oil changes.

Same goes for washing my car. The $6 car wash down the street is well worth it.

If I every hang lights anywhere ever again, I'm never putting them away.  I'm going to Hobby Lobby Dec 29th and buying new lights in a box for 10% of the original price and setting them on the shelf.  If I plan of repeating this for years to come I'm buying a 5 year supply at once and still taking up less storage space than if I tried to put used ones away myself and with no effort.

Hey Breads, i'm glad you enjoyed college for the social aspect, I mean usually people don't need to pay for adult day care until they are old and infirmed, but you do you.  Its just my opinion that people who aren't going to college to be a more kick ass person and well skilled in a trade with a good return on their investment should consider full time bartended for 4 years before taking a job they could have got out of high school.  It will keep everyone else's tuition down that that many fewer mouthbreathers flunking out of 101 classes, make drinks cheaper with the sudden influx in bartending supply, and save me from having to read on my facebook feed how pissed off those losers are that they have $80k in student loans and a communications degree to show for it.

And that cheddar.  I'd say fully half of all college graduates shouldn't have bothered.

You sound like a loser.  Socially.
Hey Breads, i'm glad you enjoyed college for the social aspect, I mean usually people don't need to pay for adult day care until they are old and infirmed, but you do you.  Its just my opinion that people who aren't going to college to be a more kick ass person and well skilled in a trade with a good return on their investment should consider full time bartended for 4 years before taking a job they could have got out of high school.  It will keep everyone else's tuition down that that many fewer mouthbreathers flunking out of 101 classes, make drinks cheaper with the sudden influx in bartending supply, and save me from having to read on my facebook feed how pissed off those losers are that they have $80k in student loans and a communications degree to show for it.

It sounds like college was awful for you. :frown:
I don't know if you knew, but

It's creepy that you think it's mutually exclusive, because you know financial losers and you're apparently a social loser.  Like it never occurred to you that you could have it all.  And before you even try, you definitely don't.

Well, that went just about as imagined.

I didn't mean to seem like I meant college is not worth it for the general population. I was only speaking for myself. At this point in my life, I understand it's "worth it" from an "I need a degree to do this job in society's eyes", but it is not at all worth it financially/effort wise.

You all are the ones footing the bill any way.  :thumbsup:

My point wasn't that you couldn't have it all, but that if you couldn't, if you were primarily in college for the social aspect, you could just live in a college town and do something else with your time and not shell out thousands in tuition every semester that you don't expect any return on.  And furthermore, eat a dick Breads.

A college degree is usually worth it. But seems like about 50% of the classes I had to take (and theoretically pay for, cept for scholarships) were a total waste of time. But if the degree is worth it, then I guess all those classes are worth it. Undergrad could really be two years, though, and that's where we're heading.

I'll probably get crap for this, but...



College. I say this because I've lead a somewhat non typical lifeline up until now, and based on personal experience the whole cost/benefit analysis of it just screams eff THAT. Too bad employers don't see my logic...
Many careers require a professional and/or doctoral degree in order to obtain a required license.  More to what I believe you are speaking of, the benefit is mildly noticeable in the beginning of a career, but compounds as it maturates.  Many upper level positions simply aren't accessible without a bachelor's or master's degree.

All but 1 or 2 classes that I took were very useful. Seems like maybe you should have picked better electives.

College for me was basically going to school all day with my friends and having a great time. I worked an on-campus job about 10 hours per week and enjoyed that, too. If I would have just moved to Manhattan to work, I'd have just been working some shitty job, living with high rent, with absolutely no way to justify it. There is a whole lot more to the college experience than just going out and getting blasted on cheap drinks Thursday night.
