I've Graduated College!!! ^-^ (Givveys Level 1+)

Congratulations! :)

Congratulations, hope you land a job where you can use what you learnt! :D

I chose other since I went to a public college (Argentina), so aside from books (or xeroxes thereof) I didn´t spend a dime.

Congratulations, Class of 2023!

Congratulations!

Congrats man! I wish you good luck in your future.

Congrats!
Tbh it depends on your degree and intelligence. Some jobs still require you to get a certain degree, while others are easily accessible as long as you have the willingness to learn on your own. Plus, i found college to be a good source to make connection and help you get a job (my campus used to have a campus fair where potential recruits gather, for example). Also, if you are not that smart to learn on your own, you can get some guidance from your lecturer in college.

Most of my closest friends I met while attending university. I'm someone who loves to learn and need my schedule to change not too infrequently, so the "each class only lasts one semester" thing fit me perfectly. I also really enjoyed having strict deadlines in the form of exams and then be done with it. I primarily learned by attending lectures and asking questions, barely opening the textbooks. In some cases I didn't touch the textbook at all. If I had the chance to go back and change anything, there is only one thing I would do different: In a redo I would make sure to take a brake between completing my BSc and starting my MSc. That's the only thing I'd be inclined to change. Maybe. I don't really have any regrets. Taking a brake at that time might have made my life a bit easier, but that's all. My life isn't the easiest, but I'm managing. I'm really grateful for being born in a country with a proper welfare system.

Best of luck to you, and sorry for rambling 😅

Congratulations!
You did it, the road was rough but I feel happy for you that you were able accomplish this feat. Wish you the best for your further career and best wishes for your sis :) 💚

Sweet. More than I've done with my schooling life.

Congratulations and good luck.

Congrats on graduating from college!

The value of a degree obviously depends on the degree field itself and what you do with it, but overall, based in lifetime earnings of college grads vs. non-grads, the data is exceptionally clear: it's absolutely worth it. No question, even if some individual anecdotes might suggest otherwise. That's true even if your career veers in a direction that's very different from your major (and I think you'll find that a LOT of people found their careers going in other directions after college. Mine certainly did!)

Congrats!

Congrats on reaching a goal you've been working toward, fleart... and with noble reasons as well. :)

congrats on graduating!

Congrats!

Congrats! Onto bigger and better things, Fleart!

♥ Congratulations ♥

Congratulations!

Now you can go to work and start missing the peaceful days of college :)

Congratulations! And thank you for all the giveaways!
I can't speak about the United States college if it's worth it or not. I hear horror stories about student debts but I'm not entirely informed on how it works. Good thing your great grandma helped you with that. In Europe collega is worth it for sure, but it can also be a waste. It depends. Because a lot of people end up doing something completely different of what they went to college for. But when you have that "level" of studies you do get an advantage on the market even if your studies were in no way helpful for the job you're applying for... (at minimum for pay, but also for promotions, etc) But I think you chose a great field in psychology.
Good luck with finding your purpose. And don't worry about it too much right now. You're just released on to the world, things will form over time. Everyone is a bit lost at 20, fresh out of college ;-)

Congrats and thank you for the GA

Congrats! :)

Congrats on Graduation fleart!

Congratulations on your graduation!

I am also happy to hear about your personal growth and improvement. I found it helpful to realise why (and when) I display certain behaviour patterns or what causes my phases of depression and anxiety. Once I knew more about that, it was much easier to deal with as I felt that my rational self could tell my emotional self that this will pass and here are some of the reasons why you feel that way right now.
That doesn't mean I won't still struggle with some of these issues from time to time at that moment, but it has made my life much easier and happier. And these moments trigger less often and for far shorter periods of time.

I hope you will continue on that road and be able to help others along the way.

As for the poll: I have studied geodesy (which I quit halfway through), finished a graphics/design college education, done a mechatronics apprenticeship, worked as designer, bartender, UN soldier, sports journalist and editor, and numerous other jobs I can't even recall. And the experience(s) I gathered have lead me to where I am right now, which is in the the field of automation software as a Learning Experience Designer. And I draw from everything I have done previously, including interactions with people from all runs of life.

So, whatever you do in life, do what feels right to you at that particular time. And don't be afraid of change, because it is inevitable. 💗

Congratulations!
