Worried about my friend.

Medical university IS NOT a college 😑

In the US the terms can be exchangeable. I was just being an ass.

Either way, finishing this or that school doesn't make you successful.
And here person operating digging machine earns more than me :/

I totally agree with you on that. You probably will make more in the long term though, right?

What "extra" jobs do you do?

Nothing yet, just PhD studies.
but after specialisation exam I would be able to get some.. let's say some kind of private pratice.. or extra hours in different hospitals.

I've read your post, but since he still was asking..
And IMHO in america they they colleges and universities as well. and there is a difference, isn't there?

An institute of higher learning is considered a "university" if it is also research institute of sorts.

"Colleges" generally aren't research based.

Yeah, but you explain that to general usage by people...

University is theoretical here, college is practical srug

Okay, but can we all, in essence, agree that the thread starter dude, when he said his friend didn't go to college, didn't mean that he had a PhD from a renowned university though, but that he had no higher level education?

What do I do?

He's 31. I would think it's too late.

Tell him there will be bitches. So when he blows off the bullshit exploitative curriculum at least he has plenty of pussy to choose from after he leaves.

****in' Baghdad had a better education system than America.

It's a ****in ponzy scheme for whoever is rich enough to rock the vote here.

There may be a reason why stee doesn't ever live in or have plans to visit America (as far as I can tell it's everywhere but America).

She may have been from this godforsaken shit-hole.

It's never too late to change something, if he so desires. However from all you said, he does not.

Perhaps you could try to look into distance learning for him, perhaps he would be more willing to do something like that?

I don't think he's taking the right path in life.

I want him to be a success.

You mean a financial success? What do you mean when you say "success?" Successful education can be pursued without going to college. This is the same with a successful income.

When it comes to him, your concern should be what he wants and not what you want for him. Unless he's actively harming himself, I see your concern as more intrusive than helpful.

Not generally, they are mostly used interchangeably.

^ This.

At this point, the issue should be dropped. OP was using the term "college" as it's generally used in the States.

We need janitors. But no one is proud of them.

That is the real underlying message of this thread.
