Sometimes I think the whole point of college is, "If this person can bring themselves to complete pointless bullshit, then they can bring themselves to complete anything."
Which turns out to be bs in the end. Just about everyone does college and just about no one brings it upon themselves to do anything out of the ordinary afterward.
Maybe just about everyone you know. But not in general.
At almost every company I call on, most of the good jobs are done by college graduates and most of the hourly jobs by non-graduates. The graduates have demonstrated before the first interview that they can take on a major project and FINISH IT.
Not a judgement. Just an observation. When it doubt, stick it out.
