The only thing I check on facebook is the pictures of the babies of my brothers :-) I only see my nephews once every 3 months, so facebook is great there! And occasionnaly I send a message to an old acquaintance from high school or get an invitation to go to some event. That is great.

But all the useless talk that make up 90% of the facebook experience... it's stupid the author is right there.

I'm doing that right now! Got a small thecnical degree, worked for 3.5 years..

But my job sucked! So I decided to go to university!

Why? It's a transition! At university yes you get shit to do (in computer science the classes are horrible and disconnected from realty!!)

But, there is no place like university to build a startup and make connections! So that's the main reason I stick to university :) Plus where I got in Québec they credit me one year + the interm because of my work experience.

So...

You will hate going to university because the classes are boring it's not practical, but you get a good degree.

But what can help you put up with the BS and really stand out is building a startup, joining toastmasters, building connection with people and making contacts, etc.

And when you know that most universities are like 60,000 people "little cities" that are all connected to the same community, it feel good :)

So... while it may not be your answer, I love what I do! And in university there are some companies that are actually taking students for a job! I see "We need 25 programmers" ads in the bathrooms :P hahahaha

I never really pair programmed but I'm going to give a try :P
