on the one hand, i never finished college and got my foot in the door with the job i've wanted for some time. a job tons of idiots in art school salivate over. funny thing is, once they graduate and the job market for this particular job is so saturated that none of them will ever find employment, i'll have moved up and perhaps bounced around to some different companies. i may go back to school for history, but only because i find it interesting and would like to devote some serious time to that.
on the other hand, my girlfriend did real well in school. graduated college a couple semesters early. is in graduate school now and takes school very seriously while not really acting like one of these people that has to hold a degree over everyone else's head so they can feel better about themselves. she also kind of needs it for what she plans on doing.
