[quote=Anonymous]What year is he?  Is he in the wrong major, is this a lack of maturity on his part, does he have any work experience?

I know that I was a hard worker in HS but when I went away to college, academics to a back seat to the social aspects (dating/partying/go out) and new found freedoms (staying up late, sleeping in, blowing off class, eating what I wanted when I wanted).  College was very, very fun for me.  I had an absolute blast.  But I was not a serious student and I don't think I took advantage of any of the academic/professional networking opportunities offered by my school....I fell into some things largely because of my course advisor.  But even those things I didn't take very seriously.

It wasn't until I was working a 40+ hour grind of a low pay, full time job and attending community at night that I fully appreciated what I had pissed away.  At the same time, I have some great memories of college and I grew as a person in a way that wouldn't have happened had I not gone away to school.  [/quote]
