Still, I think college is valuable in allowing you to specialize and gain deep knowledge of one subject, learn to write well, learn to think critically, and force you to learn time management & multitasking as you juggle all your priorities. It definitely would be helpful for college to prepare students for the real world better, but I think this is something we have to pursue actively - through clubs, leadership positions, networking, and internships. Ultimately, I'm not sure how these things can even be taught in a classroom atmosphere. These are things we have to seek out on our own.
