[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. What is "Swat" 2. I don't see what's so wrong with seeing college as mostly a vehicle to get a good job. I don't want my son to major in philosophy. He wants to major in computer science and I'm glad. The goal is for him to be a responsible, self supporting adult. Sure, I want him to have thoughtful, intellectual conversations and be exposed to new ideas and ways of thinking but mostly I want him to get his ticket stamped so he can get a good job and be intellectually challenged in his work life. I think professors want us to put college and academics on a pedestal because it's their life but I think a lot of the time spent in college is frivilous and a waste of time.

I dont disagree with you but just clearing up the misconception that SLAC's as a whole are completely 'life of the mind' places.[/quote]
