Simply getting a degree from a mediocre school does not mean much, you have to stand out in someway if you want to advance in your field at all. I mean your not just going to graduate college, get your B.S., hang it on the wall and wait for recruiters to knock on your door saying how much they want you to work for them.

Secondly, you should never go to college out of state for undergrad because instate tuition is very cheap. Couple that with financial aid and work, you can easily complete school with little or no debt. The most expensive part of college is paying for an apartment.

Its funny when people talk about how expensive college is because it really is not at all. Tuition is extremely cheap instate and you can get ALOT of financial aid depending on your situation. Not to mention if you go on to higher education, say a PHD, the grad school will literally give you a salary of ~20k a year on top of paying for your tuition.

Thirdly, you should not major in non-science because for the most part it is a waste.
