To add to the chorus: college is what you make it. I haven't finished my degree, financial reasons caused me to pause (27 now, going back will be weird). But I'll be back. Honestly, even when I graduate I'll probably still pop in for the occasional literature course or odd class I hear of that's interesting. College is a great place for discussion, flexing new ideas, and just general growth as a person. But, it's not for everyone. I've seen a few articles like this pop up on HN and it always reminds me of this article I read a few years ago: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/06/in-the-b... I think it's worth mentioning that many of the reasons I enjoy college, and college classes, are the same reasons I love coming to HN. I am not a programmer, I do not work for a startup, I'm actually a literature student working in a support role that has little to do with technical skill. I come to HN because I enjoy a forum filled with intelligent discourse, where most visitors understand that intelligent people can disagree. edit: I should also add to that list of reasons I like to keep up with computer and technical news, too :) |
