Is there a point to school? 
apsec112: "Everyone around me keeps saying how important school is, but right now I'm having trouble seeing that."Most people are morons. 45% of Americans still believe that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old. It's really as simple as that.Now, if you're going to go into a field like finance, you really will want the prestige from a name-brand university. But programming people generally care much less about school prestige.
