tele writes, "College debt was followed by chosen area of study (12%) as a top regret for employees, though this varied greatly by major. Other regrets include poor networking, school choice, too many degrees, time spent completing education and academic underachievement. Most satisfied: Those with science, technology, engineering and math majors, who are typically more likely to enjoy higher salaries, Most regrets: Humanities majors, who are least likely to earn higher pay post-graduation, were most likely to regret their college education. </snip> This is one of the few things I agree with tele on. My college education was strictly an employment credential. And I didn't waste any motion taking a course that didn't directly affect whether or not I graduated. (That's the reason I completed my engineering degree in 3 years.) You need to be very wealthy to pay for a college education as a means to "find yourself". intercst |
