a wise man once told me that he wanted his son to go to college instead of jumping into the work pool, and I protested and said well if the son wants to just start working, and he has that passion, you know, let it ride. and he made a great point; college is where you learn to communicate with people in your chosen field. even if you choose a different field later on, you've learned how to learn to communicate in the new field.
and sure, thats maybe not an appropriate dogma to live by but it makes a strong case for why a college education can actually have pragmatic impact on peoples lives if they want more from their future than raging about elitist libtards on an 8th tier poker forum between entenmanns deliveries.
