What a pretentious chump.
It's much more than that, but if learning how to do something someone is willing to pay you for isn't on your list of things to do in college, you are an idiot, and will fail in life. Unless you have wealthy parents that will let you be a professional student and then you can move on to Professor.
Steve Martin said he studied philosophy in hopes of opening a little philosophy shop after he graduates.
Get a fucking job, then go get "a broader world view, and exposure to an international community", while on paid vacation, like an adult.
Who asked?
I'm sure Bot is a gentleman and a scholar, but his views on college are beyond naive. He thinks you should enjoy those precious years, you can figure out how to make a buck later, in the real world that is bullshit.
This drivel is right up there with Delbjork. Of course enjoy your college years, party, get laid, and as Botfly said "exposure to an international community that for a brief period, voluntarily dedicates their life to learning. Its a pretty special space imo"
That's beautiful man, but after all that time in your "special space" you better fucking know how to do something for a living, or you just wasted a lot of precious money and time.
"In terms of employment, a degree means that you did something difficult for 4 years and finished. That means a lot, but beyond that nobody really cares about your degree."
If you have a degree in something useless like Theology, Philosophy, or 19th Century French Poetry, that is 100% correct, no one will care about your useless degree, and no one will hire you. On the other hand if you have a degree in something useful, a field where someone will be willing to pay you, because you have marketable skills and knowledge, that degree is a golden ticket to a an actual future.
Down the road you can find "exposure to an international community that for a brief period, voluntarily dedicates their life to learning. Its a pretty special space imo". Special is right.
