Am I wrong to regret attending college? (Yale)

@Doncic42: Sorry things haven’t worked out as you had planned. After graduating from Yale in 2015, my son told us . . .

Yes, my son could have learned this lesson at any college, but our family doesn’t feel as though we wasted money on a Yale education.

Full Disclosure: Due to Yale’s generous financial aid, our son attended Yale for less than the cost of our flagship state college. Had our family paid the full sticker price we might have felt differently. FWIW: my son started off on the computer science track at Yale, but dropped out of compsci as he disliked the way they were teaching the subject. He graduated with a psychology degree and is now a product manager at a top-5 tech company. EVERYTHING he learned to get his job he learned on his own. So like you, he doesn’t give Yale credit for what he learned, nor did Yale prepare him to succeed in a given career. He did that all by himself . . . and I’m sure you can too!
