as an extremist middle-of-the-road college drop-out, alls i can say is you can learn more on your own than in some report-card factory, & still have time to make lots of cash, if you’ve got a good job, like construction or something…kids, go to work, unless you’re REALLY sure about what you’re going to school for, it will be a waste of time & MONEY…& what’re you gonna do w/ that fancy degree anyway, move to India or China in the hopes of getting hired? take that major in buissiness back to the dish-pit, wage-slave! *crack*
