RE: General Education in Higher Education is a Scam
It's sorta funny. I was having a conversation with my dad about this topic earlier. Although he's pushing me to get a bachelor's degree he said that the way it's being done in the first 2 years is completely stupid. This is a topic that really needs to be discussed at this very moment. There has to be a solution to this.
Honestly, if going to college is part of the American Dream (for those that live in the US) then we have to do better than what we're doing.
I hear you, I felt the same way. I recommend getting your bachelors at a state university an avoid private tuiton costs, unless they pay for a large part of it. Remember tuition isnt only the only thing, cost to live away at school is very high as well because dorms usually charge you outlandish prices. I did it and im glad I did, but im not glad about the debt I incurred. Also treat your degree like an investment, get a degree in something that has some marketing potential when you look for a job. Preferably a BS over a BA if you can as well.
I definitely will keep all of this in mind. Thanks.
