Yeah, I did build up more of my connections later, so I can see at least some value in networking at a big school. It's odd for me too having been pretty quiet as a kid to now working in a role where a lot of what I do requires some degree of social interaction. I tell the young people I know, start with learning something that someone will actually pay you to do, and go from there. If that requires college, fine, if it doesn't then fine, and almost never is there any reason for college debt. I owe a ton of where I am to starting my life not sitting on 100k of alcoholic boozefest experience with a piece of paper attached.
I would agree that a lot of young guys are more conservative. I can't really put my finger on any guy I know in the 15-25 group that is just bat shit crazy. I'm sure they exist and I deal solely with "flyover country", but most of what I know are pretty decent conservative guys.
I’m in deep blue territory and even I don’t know young progressive guys in the bluest of areas, though I’m sure they are around. Graduated without debt myself, so that’s another consideration too for school. 300k for $10 more an hour is a net loss.
