College sucks but people don't
Spend 10 minutes after your college classes talking to your professors and classmates. This has accounted for 80% of my degree's value.
The opportunities, friends, and sense of community that results from this small amount of time is kind of wild.
When the professor is teaching you can't connect with anyone. So after class, I often take 10 minutes or so just to talk. I'm never trying to use people. I'm just a curious guy in a room with people who are interested in similar things as me.
College may be inefficient, but I would probably never meet these people on my own.
