Another one which directly pertains to this, is questioning the point of a college education itself. Specifically, is it to get a a degree so as to get a job? Or, is it for the pursuit of knowledge and truth that will be used throughout life, no matter job or career is entered into? The old liberal arts vs. business degree argument is relative for this discussion as well. This is a great question to ask every student before high school graduation.

I'm a 22-year old sophomore in a nyc community college and I'm doing so well that I have more than a couple opportunities to go to some Ivy's. Ultimately though, and as I'm getting older an $8,000 baccaleareute (build your own degree program) feels like a much better fit than a 30,000 Columbia general studies. Everyone says, the ivy degree is for the networking and that you get more job opportunites...my response: if you plan on working for someone else for the rest of you life. -'m letting my degree unfold and evolve, that is, I'm a huge fan of the liberal arts degrees. Most of us are too young to waste so much time and money on studies we can only will be relevate to who we really are (sorta like that tattoo you got at 18). Good luck everyone.
