People might accuse me of being a misanthorpe, but I don't see productivity in society as merit. Actually theres is a character in Generation Kill, this US army TV show produced by HBO about the Iraq war, this Latin American militant went to college, got a diploma, and ripped it all up, he comment, he doesn't need a certificate from the White Man to tell him he is worthy of society.
Couldn't agree with this. Going to University is to enrich oneself, this has to come first.
Liberty arts studies is not a waste of time. It is probably one of the few things worthy of the time spent during undergraduate. Rather, professional degrees are mostly a waste of time and youth.
Fibi, say if you kid is going to Juilliard, that's a lot better than doing an Accounting degree in UBC. Art is not a bad choice.
I think university education is different from highschool.
some that did only alright in highschool in uni and some that gets high marks in highschool cos they can memorized pages of text books may not do ok in uni.
