This article provides a much needed counter-point in discussing alternative definitions of success and paths to those successes, exposing college myths and realities, and outlining the impacts of achievement/performance while in college and the chosen major upon future earnings. In a balanced presentation, this article places many issues on the table for further examination, including factors of job satisfaction which are not financial in nature.

This article was on point in many respects, however some may find the parallel to condom usage to be a tangent, sufficiently off-topic that the overall article may have benefitted by its omission, focusing solely on post-secondary educational pursuits and omitting the other PSA.
