<p>I agree with yunhai. If college didn’t cost any money, maybe I’d be more willing to say that you should only go to school for intellectual and emotional growth. But education is expensive. Even a relatively cheap education is now valued at around $20000 per year. I think growth is a great thing to gain along the way, but I went to school so that I can get a job when I leave and be able to afford to continue living a comfortable lifestyle. I understand that college isn’t the only way to do this, but for me it was. Now I do think people should choose majors that they enjoy and take advantage of all the college has to offer while they’re there, but for me this wasn’t my primary purpose for attending. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to want to leave with a degree capable of opening doors to interviews for jobs (notice I said interviewing, eventually you have to have the skills for the job on your own). College is an investment and I intend to get something in return.</p>
