I had a discussion with my roommate the other day about the reason for going to college. His reason for going to college was so he can learn from the experiences of college. He said that some people lose that mentality along the way, some students just focus their time into their school work so they can graduate and start having a career. I told him that I was the latter. I didn't come from a rich family. I knew in high school that there was only one person I can truly count on in life. That person was myself. I knew I needed to go to college and graduate inorder to secure a future for myself. I don't see how this idea could be wrong. Perhaps if I didn't have any financial obligations, I would attend college and perhaps chosen a major that allowed me to have more free time.

Granted I am a little bias to other majors that are labeled "cake majors". I don't see how some parents or students themselves would pay thousands dollars of college tuition to study something that isn't quite marketable as a career.
