'Why go to college?'

<p>

</p>

<p>Aren’t you the poster that wanted everyone else to refrain from name-calling?</p>

<p>I understand some of what you are posting, but a lot of it is confusing. Are you suggesting that everyone needs to take an extremely varied courseload in college, and it is impossible to educate yourself outside an academic setting? That’s nonsense.</p>

<p>I earned degrees in Biophysics, Electrical Engineering and a Masters in IS. I think I maybe took 5 or 6 courses not in those areas. I realy enjoyed them and wish I could have taken more, but that’s all I had time for. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have intellectual curiosity and the ability to learn on my own.</p>

<p>Perhaps you could help all of us understand your position better if you would add a little context about yourself. Maybe that wold help us understand what you consider the ideal college curriculum.</p>

<p>Are you an adult? If so, what did you study in college and what sort of general education courses did you take?
Are you a college student? Same questions about your present program.</p>

<p>If you are a high school student, what do you plan? I fear you may be in for a rude awakening if you want to finish a degree in a reasonable amount of time.</p>
