Dude, just gotten into the engineering degree, cos someone said it is worthy (and because I was guaranteed free tuition and 900$/mo stipend, that's the real reason.)
The things that are taught are so pointless. They teach us, for example, how to find currents given a complex voltage example, a we *have* to do it through matrix inversion and multiplication. Except design engineering (for example invention) almost never ever involves computing formulas, because creating a whole design overhaul will may save you 50% of costs, and vastly improves customer value (one of my redesigns did), and crunching the numbers will improve, well, maybe 7%.
*after a few days*: why is 99% of curricula so math focused? Shit, people explain oversimplified concepts but neglect to put the most important principles behind them. Why are things which can be googled in 10 minutes explained in 1 hour? Teachers are damn sloppy. And they will grade us on their own bullshit.
Also, everyone is... Dead, and just like in MJ's words, with aspirations twisted by false hope and the weekend. This place smothers dreams into falsehood and low effort, not makes you better. Not me, for I know how to manage my brain.
(just from somebody who didn't expect it would really be stupid.)

As for me:
I probably should become self-employed salesperson (I tried to last month but for 2.5 weeks didn't even book a meeting), gather enough cash and drop out.
(Right now I am developing a very significant AI, and college takes about 8 hours a day. I consistently work for 15 hours, which is normal, but having that cut in more than a half with 0 value delivered isn't.)
Edit: also, this: Post in thread 'Following "unscripted " with university?' MINDSET - SLOWLANE - Following "unscripted" with university?
It *is* bloody indoctrination! What the F*ck?
