I suspect most of us who were born in the 1980s and even into the 1990s grew up with the assumption that getting a degree would make our lives easier. And, on a whole, I think it’s true. For many careers, you need at least a bachelor’s degree just to get an interview.

Whether or not you can have wisdom as a twenty-something about to graduate from college is debatable. But if you’re an undergrad counting down until your last final in 2010, I can’t think of anyone better to tell you how to spend your last year of schooling than this year’s graduates. They’re up to t [...]

Dun-dun-dun-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-dun. <–That’s my “Pomp and Circumstance” transcription.
It’s that time of year when finals are starting and seniors are thinking, “Oooooh, geez, what did I spend the last four years of my life doing?” That’s natural, of course. Don’t we always feel unprepared for big events in our lives? It’s the cold feet before the wedding [...]

As you’ll recall, yesterday I posted Kristina’s thoughts on what classes she learned the most from in college. I know, you’re saying, “But isn’t every class a valuable use of my time?”
Sure.
In reality, some classes will stick with you longer than others. Years from now you’ll be thankful for certain courses, and others won’t even [...]
