<p>"I think people rely too much on their degree to get them a job when it’s really not the case. A common misconception nowadays is that people go directly to college to get skill sets and then head out to the job market with those skill sets - not true at all; only a few majors are like this (accounting, engineering, etc).</p>
<p>What you should be doing is think of school and work as separate spheres of your life. You come to school to learn and you study for the sake of learning. You should then focus on getting internships and work experience for the sake of getting a job later on. Completely parallel paths. If more college students knew this then there would be less people complaining about how “impractical” certain degrees are. In truth, almost every bachelor’s degree is impractical unless u plan on academia."</p>
<p>^^I agree completely…it’s all about how you go about pursuing your career! k</p>
<p>…and too 123456bc I like how you skipped over this sentence in my post “The pendulum swings both ways on this one buddy if you’re going to be that extreme in examples” which if you’ll notice I stated after I gave my “extreme example” of an overly corrupt person. That was my point…that you were giving an extreme example LOL. </p>
<p>Anyways, that is a value, I truly believe that money can corrupt a person and I believe that those that only desire it are greedy and selfish…if you value money more than anything else then to me your values are warped. However, I understand that this could just be me…I was just throwing that out to the OP as something to think about, not necessarily to attack them as you are trying to desperately to do to me. </p>
<p>And just to clarify I’m not saying that everyone should be “poor” and have no “nice things”. Sure we all need money, but one should only have as much as they need to live a comfortable life…however I am a social democrat so that could explain why we differ in beliefs regarding money and its worth…</p>
