I found out college is useless

[viJilance]

I went to a pre-apprenticeship school, They didn't hook me up with co-op, or a job, I just got a certificate, and general knowledge about being an electrician. Oh yeah, also got overpriced books, and a $4000.00 course fee.

I went and applied to the union (they only hire once a year in May) And I found out my college is not important. They want my high school transcript, which does not have the required courses. (Physics, higher level math) Therefore, my post-secondary education was an absolute waste.

What a fucking scam.

Unfortunately, a lot of those private vocational and/or technical schools are for-profit, and when you don't have to meet the requirements for degree programs, you can get away with a little more uselessness to meet that bottom line. Granted, you do have the knowledge, but it may not open the doors for you that they might have implied it would. It's unfortunate, for sure.

At least you have a step up in terms of general knowledge about the job though.

I feel connections and knowing people is the most important requirement for any job

Depends if you want private or govt work.

Government they have procedures they have to follow and is very hard to get in.

True but some private work pays just as good

College sucks so much ass, it's a money making scheme. Half the classes are useless, schooling is so institutionalized it's stupid.
