[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously people keep learning and doing fun things after college graduation. But in the FT work world, you only get two weeks of PTO a year. You don't have summers and all those long school breaks once you start a full time job. And being a student isn't a full time job in the sense that you don't spend 40 hours/week sitting in classes or labs. Most of it is spent on your own, and you can often select the times and days when you are in class. It really is a different phase of life that will never come again. There's no need to rush through your youth unless you're financially strapped. And most people have more to learn after their junior year of college. Practicing writing some more papers, preferably a honors thesis if you're all done with requirements for your major, or doing a double major are ways to improve your skills and make yourself more attractive to grad schools and employers.

[b]As someone who hires college grads[/b], I would look upon a degree earned in three years as inferior to one earned in four. I'd also wonder if you're socially inept or uncomfortable with your peers because why else would you skip your fun senior year? [/quote]
