in spite of what i wrote earlier, i think in many instances getting a college degree is worth it (i paid my own way through college & am very glad i got the degree...don't think i would have been able to advance in the job i had if i hadn't had both the experience & the degree...plus there is more to a college degree, imo, than job acquisition)...
i worked for a 2 year college where many 4 year graduates eventually enrolled so that they could get some practical job skills (computer, nursing, things like that...it was interesting though, at one point there was such a demand for computer competent employees that many kids were being offered jobs before they could complete their degrees, though that may have changed now)... although i am happy that my son has found a way to make a decent living, my hope is that someday he will want to return to college to continue with some of the art classes that he really enjoyed (more for his own inner sense of creativity, learning & inspiration than the need to get a degree or make a career from art) ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
