[Dionysus]

okay, I finally read the whole article, and now I have mixed feelings about the article.

I pretty much agreed with everything that was said, except for the part where they said that college students should not ask their parents for advice. That only leaves them with two other options (that I can think of):

1. Ask their friends for advice. I don't know about you all, but most of my friends in college gave awful advice. It was like the blind leading the blind. The "friends" who did know things were not willing to share it. Or, if they did share, you had to pay a "price".
2. Ask no one for advice and take a risk. I guess this is the "correct" answer, but let's face it, sometimes mistakes can cause permanent change in your life. It seems dumb to reject advice that could save you from a lot of trouble, no matter who it's from.
