True...college can be good...but what i.have seen is lots of waywardness and drunkenness....just cause you got good grades doesnt mean you know how to apply that knowledge to real world problems...
And please stop wholesale taxpayer funded subsidies....the next cinematographer will most likely not save the world.
Mankind survived for thousands of years just talking. How many folks today really need to know how to read, write & cipher?
I think going to a top notch college can be a great move... if someone else pays the freight.
If you really want to see the value of a college education first hand and enjoy fantasy, work with a newly minted MBA!
My undergrad education was at a liberal arts college. I thought all the time I spent in liberal arts courses was a waste. I was going to be a physicist. Why did I have to take courses in history, government, literature, composition, and a foreign language?
Well, some fifty years later, I know why. I spent a career as a scientist, in and out of the Air Force. Those liberal arts courses have stood me in good stead over the years. My technical education taught me how to do something. My liberal education taught me why some things were worth doing and some were not. I wouldn't trade that liberal education for anything.
For most, college is nothing more than daycare with sex and alcohol.
WSJ did an article last week that said 101 Americans owe more than $1 million in federal student loans.
