You pretty much need a college education to succeed in life. It may not guarantee you a spot in the work force, but your chances of getting a nice job with a college degree versus someone without one is way higher.

I know what you mean. My FrankenSkyline isn't centered, but it's barely noticeable. It bugs me enough that I try not to look at it. It's like the annoying kind of centering where it's like "Ugh, just a little farther". I can except it if I know it won't center, like my Leek. And yes, I realize that sounds wrong.

Well the thing that really bugs me is I can get it centered, but once I do I need a little wrist flick. But when I get it to flip nice it rubs the liner. The most frustrating part is I didn't have this problem five hours ago:confused: I flipped it and it just came half open...I'm perplexed lol.

Maybe you do, maybe you don't, but it wouldn't hurt to have a higher education. Any leg-up you can get on the competition doesn't hurt.

I wouldn't say higher education is pointless, but it's certainly not as essential to enter today's workforce. Most employers look not just at your degree, but what else you've accomplished. If all you have on a resume is a degree, then you could very well be passed over in favor of someone with no degree, but relevant work experience and a track record of being a dependable worker.

The trend is even reflected in how interviews are conducted now. Back when I finished college, interviews focused a lot on your technical knowledge. Now, interview questions are more behavioral / experience-based. For example, instead of asking "explain how a heap sort works", the question would be "give me a specific example of a situation when you had to write a program to sort an array of integers... what are some challenges you encountered, and how did you resolve them... and what was the result".

If you do forgo the traditional college degree, you'll need to make sure you develop a marketable skill on your own and advance it to a level to be competitive in the workforce.
