call me cynical, but i have this theory that in today's world, many middle class kids just go to college because it's what's expected of them, because their parents have enough money to send them to college, because there are lots of colleges out there and they're bound to get in somewhere, even if they didn't have good grades in high school, and because they are told that they won't be able to get a job unless they go to college.
however, they don't really care about learning. they don't really care about education. they're just doing what they think they're supposed to do.
am i being way to cynical?
i'm not saying this is true of all college students. but i think it's definitely true of a lot of them. what % of college students do you think would fit into this category, and what % are actually passionate about education and learning?
