Default Re: What should I do for a living?

[ QUOTE ]
I know me and a lot of other people would have killed for that kind of education and credentials...Why the hell did you blow that kind of money (or the parents money) on that degree there if you dont know what you want to do?

this attitude really pisses me off - education is not job preparation. there's something to be said for learning for learning's sake, studying what you find interesting, and picking up some good critical reasoning skills and work habits along the way.

college is not about learning skills for a job, its about becoming more mature intellectually. i bet you were one of those people who majored in business and didn't nderstand why they'd make you take any classes outside the department, and dreaded filling all your liberal arts requirements.
