[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The value of going to college is about how to think critically and broaden your views. You don’t need to get a BS to learn programming, just like a carpenter doesn’t need to go to Stanford to figure out how to hammer a nail.[/quote] This exactly. I felt that college and grad school helped me develop into who I am. It is not so much about specific skills. College helped my writing and analytical skills tremendously. Grad school at an Ivy - I was around some amazing people and that was an irreplaceable experience to me. Life is about so much more than $$. And I come from a middle class family. I met my husband in grad school and we are a great match intellectually and emotionally.[/quote]
