Maybe you aren't doing the real world right if you think that college is the best time of your life.
You're ridiculous... stay in school as long as you can. It's AWESOME. It's so much easier to mosey to school for 18-20 hours a week and study another 10 or so a week... and still be able to drink whenever you want and party your balls off. Trust me... school is NOT that bad.
Oh I am not saying I am not enjoying my life/real world, but college was just so carefree, fun, and easy. I was an ME who graduated with a great GPA, had a 20 hour a week job, had a fiance, and was president of my fraternity and I still had enough time to go out thursday, friday, & saturday night.
It just was so much easier to worry about studying and only studying where the real world you have stuff to worry about you never even cared about in college (healthcare, 401k, stocks, insurance, morgage, etc.)
I like the real world, but I LOVED college. Having all your closest friends live within a 5 minute walk, going to bars whenever, going to tailgates and sporting events without having the plan the whole weekend around it (because I live 8 hours away). Just no comparing IMHO.
I've fought the "college was better" bug for a long time during various points in my life. I've settled into college would be a great place to vacation but I wouldn't want to live there. I'd love to take a sabatical and go back to school for a semester.
My advice: Stay in college until you get your PHD (in a business field so that you can get a job) and then teach in college.
Ya, thats what everyone does at my school. Makes 90% of the weekends very, very boring.
The real world can be/is just as much fun as college...if it's not, you're doing it wrong...who wants to live in the past? Barf.
I guess I forgot to add this little tidbit to my post previously: can't do college forever. People are right when they say at some point you must move on. I think everyone has a friend or 2 that hasn't moved on. The guy that is a full time bartender in a college town, literally just lives his life as if he was in college full time but never actually graduated. I loved college and would go back but we have to evolve as some point.
The "ever got out of college" guy is probably pretty close to the "living through my awesome high school sports achievements" guy, both are pretty lame.:sad:

Not hating, just saying it is pretty immature. Everyone's got to grow up sometime...well, I guess not everyone but everyone should...
Had a great time in college, but enjoying the life of a family man much more. Its great to have money to do things and a wife that lets me do them.
I thought I missed college, but went back a couple years after I graduated and spent a weekend with my brother, only to find I had grown up a little bit.
The group of 8 I lived with in college still get together several times a year, sometimes just the guys, other times for weekends with the whole families, and we still can have a good time, but I doubt any of us would trade it for what we have now.
