As I have mentioned before, college can be incredibly rewarding but can also be disastrous if rushed into. My next thought is: What happens when you graduate?
It seems to be a common consensus among parents that the best way to ensure a job is to have a degree in the required field.
However, if you were to glance through the job openings list on various websites or in magazines and newspapers, a common listing will be: Entry Level Position; three years experience required.
What the heck? Have these people forgotten the meaning of contradiction?
