Wet Dog always has a good quote!!

I am not sure they do much educating in Universities anymore unless you are looking for a specific vocation Wet Dog was in my office yesterday (pleasure having you stop by) and even though i have a masters degree he may have noticed there wasn't a single diploma on my wall just a map of the world and old SF artwork (Beasley and Belanger). When people ask how i got to where i am in life i say "everything i ever needed to know i learned in Kindergarten, and i didnt go to Kindergarten" In reality I probably learned everything i needed to know from my parents and from my mentors in SF. That said - if you are motivated, focus on the right classes and go above and beyond what the professor requires I do think you can get a lot out of a college education. If you want to learn a trade - acctg, finance, nursing, engineering, etc. you dont really have a choice you have to go but like anything in life be the best you can be, get into the absolute best school you can.
