I'll admit, I have been jaded by the College Experience. From bad teachers, to rediculously overpriced books and mysterious "fees". To me, in my mid 30s, college has become just a way to get that magical piece of paper that can potentially open more doors for you in the real world. The question is, how do you get that paper without sinking into serious debt trying to get it, and how long before you see the payoff.
That being said, I do see the value in going to school when you are a fresh maced eighteen to 22 year old. Being out on your own for the first time, learning about yourself, and cultivating relationships certainly has value. Too bad mom and dad are stuck with the bill for you "education".
