Havent gone to college in a few years, just what am i looking at here? Im assuming the classes are way easier to pass, however, how likely is it i get canned/expelled for me being well me? Also, worth it doing a masters or should i can that idea?

You’ll soon come to the conclusion that you’re wasting your money.

You’ll have to walk on eggshells around every easily-offended freak to avoid getting canceled. And since it’s college, they’re all easily-offended freaks.

That you’re wasting your time unless you’re doing STEM. Then you’re only mostly wasting your time.

STEM is where i would want to go towards, however, at my level it seems like a downgrade? I have a decade of experience in large scale, big data companies, doing some insane stuff. However, even back when i started, i always wondered how college would help me? If college is to get a job, then doesnt me having a job defeat the point of college? The only reason i see this being a problem, is that there are still tons of companies that will toss your resume in the trash for not having a degree. And with the advent of diversity crap, this is becoming more apparent that white people need higher credentials than the minority counterparts to get a leg up

I have recently been involved in the hiring process at a large company that you have almost certainly heard of if you live in Minnesota. If you have decent experience, nobody cares if you have a degree or not. You can learn all the stuff you might not learn on the job by watching videos on Youtube (or something like Kahn Academy if you prefer) and running a few experiments on your own. College was arguably not worth it when I graduated more than 10 years ago, and I can't imagine it's worth the damage to your psyche now. If I were you, I would very strongly consider cutting my losses and abandoning the whole thing.
