The idea of college has been co-opted by the money people. The people who only care how much money everyone makes and what kind of a great job everyone has
This is a big mistake
When I was growing up I understood that the point of college was to get a
"liberal education"
to be educated was its own reward
to get a glimpse into the wonders of human intellectual achievement and culture was valuable in and of itself
it is not about getting a job
at least it should not be
that is just how the money people have corrupted it
the value of college is that it should make you a better human being
someone capable of appreciating great literature
great music
great art
great thought
someone who can think
not someone who can get a job and make a lot of money
