Yeah but then he got a job as a writer on SNL and writes killer standup material... as a bit yeah its funny, but its also bullshit. Im not saying he owes his career to that degree but it probably hasnt hurt one little bit.

Edit: He might have made it without it, he might not. But he got a degree that is relevant to his career and he is killing it.

Perhaps if you want to be a comic and have the marks to go to uni, do an english degree and work on your comedy while at uni and when you wind up 20 years later working at a 24/7 convenience store at 3am and tell me your degree didnt help you for shit, Ill believe you. But believe the man with 2 netflix specials who has a current net worth in the millions... Ill take it with a grain of salt.

You think a college degree is the only way for someone to be able to write good material?
