Plus, what "skills" do you think college is supposed to teach you? what are you paying them for if you arent learning anything? isnt the point of college to learn skills to be marketable to employers? --- Pinoy Pride, 1988 - the day I die! <cite>AzNDarkSamurai posted [p:961094087] in Why do man...

No, not for everyone. For some, college is to learn to be a critical thinker, a problem solver, to learn about subjects and areas that were closed off in high school, etc. College should not be a "job training facility" that works to pump out office workers or structural engineers. <cite>Derwood posted [p:961098882] in Why do man...
