The above mentioned article appeared in The Atlantic issue of March 2010. I would like each of you to take the time (20-30 minutes) to read the 4 pages.
Remember that the reward is in the journey :-)

Good article. I think that students need to evaluate why they are attending university. Is it just to get a job? If so, maybe they should consider alternatives such as tech programs. It is my opinion that an education is not about getting a job, but about expanding personal knowledge.
