I am all in favor of college education. I have a Masters degree and it has truly helped me in two ways: 1) I have changed careers three times to find the career that would be the most fulfilling to me and the only reason I was even qualified to apply for jobs in other career paths (with zero experience) was because I had a degree that was somewhat relevant. 2) It gave an opportunity to meet people with similar interests and similar intellectual range. I learnt to think critically, to work diligently just to find a tiny bit more info than you had before, to assimilate information from various fields into a cohesive whole, etc. Skills that continue to help me in my highly technical field. I believe that I have the ability to see through issues without losing sight of the big picture because of my college education, if that makes sense. PS. We have been saving for DD3.5's college education from day one.
