well said! people(especially young people) neglect to reflect on the fact that A: money is not or should not be the primary reason to enter into any field or even for going to college for that matter. if money is your aim, there are a lot of ways to make it... B: there are a lot of high-paid people who get up every single day and hate what they have to do for a living! C: education is about making more of you time and talents. if you only come out with a degree and have not truly been engaged in the college experience and have not expanded upon the person you were when you came--you missed a big part of what higher education is all about. and D: if you come out of college only thinking about the money your degree will make you and never think of how you can contribute to the community and/or better the life chances of someone else, THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE EDUCATION HAS BEEN WASTED on you... many groups have been excluded from the academy for a long time...we can't afford to think of only ourselves!
(sigh) my sermon is complete...
