But there is a third type of person on college campuses today. These individuals really want to learn. They are aware of the ever-tightening job market and the need for strong skills and wide experience and knowledge. These people are neither eggheads nor stick-in-the-muds. They have a good time at times yet keep a strong perspective on the big picture and why all that money is being spent for a college degree Sadly, though, these types of people are never in the majority on any college campus.
