The 18-year-old Winter is going to college, but there’s no word on how her studies will impact her role on the ABC comedy.

I came here just to make the same post.

But my question is WHY is she going to college? She already makes $6 million dollars a year on the TV show, which is much more than most middle class people earn in a lifetime. For example, someone making $100,000 dollars a year, still a great normal salary would take 60 years to make what she makes in one year.

Seems rather pointless. I guess I did not like college that much. I found it to be boring and difficult as hell, forced to take stupid classes for my major like a year of science (for a business major), English literature, Art History and other garbage. College to me was like High School but with alcohol and dope (the weed was to dull the boredom of the classes and the stresses of the tests).

Most college educations at the Bachelor level is worthless anyway. What is Winter going to do, intern in some Fortune 500 company fetching coffee for some boss who makes 5% of her salary? Maybe I can see this if she wants to be a network executive or something on those lines. Maybe.

If I were her, I would enjoy my life, travel, see new things, spend money, have fun, sitting on the beach in Waikiki and emjoying my life, not sitting in boring classrooms, with idiot professors and 18 year old horndogs looking at her boobs. I look back at her age going to college thinking what a waste of my time, my youth and my parents money. I guess she is paying for it so if she flunks out or drops out, her parents wont give her hell about it and tell her she wont amount to anything, especially since she is far wealthier than they are.

Sorry to be so negative, but if I had her money at her age, I would have laughed my ass off at the thought of sitting in another classroom.
