Several People have told me that I am wasting my time taking frivolous classes that don't accomplish anything. I am writing to explain myself.
The University today is simply a prerequisite for entering the workforce. I think that most college students are missing out on a fleeting opportunity. There are scads of topics being discussed all over campus, while students sit in the food court deciding whether they should join Occupy Wall Street or not.
In Classical Studies, Dance, Art, and Philosophy, I have gained experiences that I would have never found elsewhere. Computer Engineering is only one limited lens for viewing the world.
I would like to encourage every college student, especially those without jobs, to take the chance to gain an education rather than just a diploma.
If only all college students could see college that way. Too many students just try to pass their classes without thinking about how each subject can improve their ability to reason. Great post.
