Dave Barry puts college in a completely different perspective. College is a complete waste! If you don't like learning and having to memorize completely irrelevant information for your life then you just shouldn't go. According to Barry any science or mathematics major is just all about retaining information that you probably won't even use again. Sliding by easy through college can be done if you are wordy and create alternate information for your assignments if you major in English, Psychology, Philosophy or Sociology.
I find the entire article to be hilarious. It's all about how college is useless and how most of the things you learn, you'll end up just forgetting in the long run. You know… I partially agree with what Barry has to say, but more of me disagrees. College is a necessity for people to go through in order to have a chance at what they want to do in the future. Of course not every one needs to go to college. There are trade schools and other opportunities that are given right out of high school, but if everyone went to the alternate schools then people wouldn't be employed in jobs like doctors, dentists or even teachers.
Although I find this article to be very entertaining and interesting, I think I'll stick to my plans of going to college. I'll be in debt forever practically, but I'll have to go to college to achieve the goals I have planned for myself.
