mixed emotions.

so we all have found a common ground when it comes to pursuing a college degree: just do it. its better than nothin'.

of course, it is on the high list of accomplishments (according to discoverucpa). and a college degree can only help when trying to find that dream job (hannah hasson). and not to mention it is absolutely a worthwhile investment (samelliott4).

so how about all those mixed feelings?

maybe it is important not to 100% rely on your degree to get you that job after graduation (styleinthebag). maybe our degrees are becoming less and less relevant (benjamin a). maybe your dream job doesn't require a college degree (eli).

and what many believe is the biggest asset to finding a job: networking (thank you, themusicpolice).

does networking mean we don't need that diploma after all?

and yet, all of us here are going to school and working towards that degree.

obviously we believe it can do something. so let us hope we are not wrong (which i do not think we are).

however, i really hope not to ever regret spending thousands upon thousands (that i do NOT have) for my education. which means i need to find a job i love, and pertains to what i have learned, and need to stop waiting tables at maggianos (because i could have done this without going into major debt).
