"Community star Joel McHale has joked that his own approach to college was quite similar to his slacker character Jeff Winger. McHale reflected on his university years with Parade, recalling that he enjoyed the recreational aspect of school much more than the education.  &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t a very focused student. It was a fun time and a good experience, but I mostly wanted to be an actor, so I devoted a lot of my time to that,&amp;quot; he commented. McHale ultimately got a degree in history from the University of Washington, but turned to acting because there were few jobs available in that field. &amp;quot;I loved the subject, but it&amp;#039;s not like you can open a history shop,&amp;quot; he quipped. Community airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.  Watch a clip from Community below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
