Man, personally I think that if you're upset with your current college you need to go to a Liberal Arts school. The things I learned at UNCA that had nothing to do with my major were what I really considered learning. Yeah, I got my degree, but while doing so I sat in interesting classes and had involved discussions about issues that affect me outside of the realm of my major. That's something that is important to learn- how does one relate to the world as a whole? That's something you don't learn in high school, and probably not in trade school or a traditional four year college. I feel that higer education teaches people to be more eloquent, and to open up their minds to new ideas. The argument that "because all these people who are now rich dropped out of college means that no one should go to college" is such a big fallacy I can't believe anyone would think it was a good argument. Because B happens after A doesn't mean B happens BECAUSE of A. Perhaps all these entrepreneurs got the ideas for their buisnesses in college, and then decided that it was such a good idea they'd go off and do it instead of waiting around for a degree. The beautiful thing about college is that you can go back anytime you want- it's not like high school where the goverment says you have to go.
