Well ladies and gentlemen i have a very interesting subject of conversation for you all today....last night i had a conversation about the importance of college in today's society- hmmm you say! go on you say! RIGHTO on we go!
Today, where the power of your network is much more important than the power of your brain (sad but true) how important is a piece of paper that says you took 123 credits and learned what it means to be an economist (or whatever your respective major)...now the terms of the conversation:
1) think long and hard about how much of what you learn in school you actually retain
2) understand that there are millions of people without a degree who are doing amazing things
3)realize that most jobs today are obtained through a connection that someone has within an organization
4)ask yourself what exactly do you want to do with your life and how well is college preparing you to do that
On my end I truly do understand the value of a college education and am extremely proud to say that I graduated from .:cough:. Temple.:cough:. (only joking TU is great), but I like to play devils advocate a LOT and often times wonder and argue that every opportunity i have availible to me now would be availible if i didnt go to college. I have this conversation pretty reguarly and was just wondering what others think about it....particularly those who didnt go to college.
Ill be throwing out these convo topics every now n again...let me know what ya think folks

Though you want the opinion of non-college go'ers, too bad! TU ALL THE WAY! (yeah right)
Long story short: much agreed. Simply put, it's not what you know-it's who you know.
