I was greatly disappointed in college. I imagined it a sort of exchange of ideas and discussion. Heck, hardly, didn't even fill in all the things you'd need for your job and the Master's was even more useless. Just a hoop to jump through.
BUT... worse than that, I am among the few that saw through. The majority allowed it to inflate their egos and bind them to a fixed and narrow worldview.
Hardly a joke... a dastardly twisted forming of humanity's view of their own selves, past, present, future and abilities.
