I'm gonna disagree with this statement. Depends on the college format and workload. I'm a pretty ballanced individual, mentally/emotionally that is. I've worked in camp situations, from large industrial projects with over 3500 workers to isolated bush work with a crew of 2 in a camp of 16. NOTHING in life has ever stressed me out like my time in college did (well maybe the divorce/custody battle), I was a mess. suffered from insomnia, couldn't keep a regular diet, felt as if the walls were closing in. And I didn't take neuro-science or asto-physics, it was Land Surveying @ COGS. The excellarated program required us to attend 8 hours of classroom instruction per day meanwhile trying to ballance field surveys, drafting and CAD projects after hours and on weekends. It seemed that as soon as one project was finished 2 more were assigned. Our class had a 25% drop out rate and only a 60% pass rate for those who remained. It was without a doubt the worst year of my life..... That said it gave me the opportunity to find a good paying job in alberta which rolled into every opportunity I've had since. Pretty sure that year of college made everything else following seem easy but I was very close to being one of the 25% who dropped out, the only thing that made me stay was the knowlege that I had already given up a year to upgrade my highschool GPA to get in and my mom had invested over $15K for the opportunity.

It's easy to say that Highschool & College are a cake walk compared to the "real world" however for those in highscool & college that is their real world and it's not fawking easy. I feel sorry for anyone who claims that Highshcool/college were the best years of their lives, personally 2013 has been the best so far, and before that it was 2012, 2011 etc... with the exception of 2003/2004 (mariage with satan was tough) every year gets better...

Each persons preasent is their own reality, grab it by the horns because in the grand scheme of things individually we have little control...

I dropped out of electrical engineering before moving west and had big dreams of the sweet job, family all told me I was nuts and to get back in school... I hauled wheel barrels of dirt for $7 an hour that summer so I could move. And now 7 years later have a WAY better career then most of the guys I went to college with... Ironically electrical engineering would have be a HUGE asset at my job but I get by without the degree... I don't regret dropping out for a minute!
