While I don't necessarily agree that skipping college is a great idea, I DO agree that we should take some TIME before we go. I wanted to take a year off between high school and college, but apparently (according to my parents) only 'slackers' do that, and so I was pushed into going to a college I didn't care for, my major still undeclared as I hadn't decided what I wanted to do.
I was a straight A stuednt in high school, but the stress and unfamiliarity of college took its toll on me, and one day I just stopped going to classes, flat out. It was a low point in my life.
Now, three years later, I am re-enrolled in college, maintaining a 4.0 and happier than could be.
I think the problem is less college itself and more the 'hurryhurryhurry' attitude we all have about education.
