That's what they say when you point out that college doesn't really -> job anymore.

I went to college, and pretty much got jack shit for an education. I educated myself. I went to a small high, Catholic high school and learned more there in the sense of "enrichment" than I ever did at the colleges I attended (and excelled in). Maybe at some point this was true: colleges enrich you, and college means you can get better jobs. That's not really true for a lot of people now, myself among them.




Agreed. I've learned more about life and the world in the years after college than in the 4 years I spent getting my BA.
