wow, you obviosuly do not know much about taking the field engineer exam, which requires 4 years of undergraduate study. The FE offers decent jobs, but not really, to really succeed as an engineer you need to get your PE, or professional engineering degree which is an extremely long test that most people have to take atleast 3 times to pass. good luck doing that online. Also, how about doctors who go to med school and take anatomy classes of the human body so they can be our surgeons, once again good luck learning that online. Or my sister for example, who is an eye doctor, who went to optometry school AFTER 5 years of undergrad, so a total of 9 years of extra education after highschool.. once again good luck learning that online. Sound like someone is a little butt hurt because they were either too moronic (which is most likely the case) or either too much of a fuck up to get into college. Cool life bro. Also people with higher education are just deemed more exceptable in todays society, 20 years or more ago yes, you could have gotten away with not having a college education. My father does not have a college education and he is the VP of a multibillion dollar demolition company. His year end bonus alone last year was probably more than most people make in 5-10 years. But people can no longer get jobs like that without high levels of education. I would much rather be at work than college. I call work the "easy way out." I will probably work much harder in college than I plan to do once I actually have my job. The harder you work in college the easier your life will be outside of school. That is a FACT.
