<p>But the motive of going to college and learning in order to have a better career and future is not entirely evil, or shallow in the sense that these people care only for themselves. I’m pretty sure many people want to go to college for both (some magnitude of) the love of learning and for a better future. The only way to totally exclude the “shallow” reason is to be sure that one will always be financially secure. I mean, it take $$ to go to college, right?</p>
