I have been somewhat hard on college, from a financial/investment standpoint, it is being oversold, it is exploding in costs and the returns are diminishing. However, there is a lot about college that I and other grads/students take for granted. In college we meet new people, learn new ideas and in many cases get knowledge that cannot be learned on the street.
Many of us would be far more provincial without college. With going to college, we would be much more likely to only know about and know people from our immediate area and those living a similar type of life. College also does make you aware of possibilities that we may not have considered or even knew existed. Finally, there are many jobs where it is about what you know or at the very least, it is not "all about who you know." Good luck practicing law or medicine or designing a bridge that will not collapse, all on your street smarts and ability to network.
rex id actually be interested in your blog if you have one...
not just from this but how you always write on other topics also.
Thank you, I do have a blog, it is Kenyocho. I do not update it all that much but it has few posts about economicsand a lot about political theory and policy.
