Lol, nice to meet you. Left freshman year, got paid, got out. Questions welcome. College for tech jobs became useless after like 2008. Books are cheap. I'd challenge anyone in response to prove they got a degree in the 21st century.

Me: Math PhD, found an internship through my school's internal postings (company has something of an intern -> employee pipeline from my school), interned for a couple summers, got hired after graduation. And yes, it is mostly a tech job, not a math one. I was hired three years ago.
