I have some opinions, but I'd strongly caution anyone against using them as a guide. After all, we all gotta figure things that work for us as individuals. I think it's genuinely important for people to get the education they feel they want and need, as not only does a good education empower us to be productive members of society, but it helps us grow in a way that's hard to do otherwise. I'm very worried though, that like rising rent and healthcare costs, rising costs in education is just another way to make money off of people in a very predatory way, and just like with rising rent and healthcare costs, I hope we find a way to turn that ship around.

That said, it's been very interesting to see what some schools have been offering lately that I didn't see being offered when I was going to school. Some things I can think of off the top of my head are Sustainable and/or Organic Agriculture programs, programs focused on Ecological Recovery, tons of places are offering certification for police, healthcare, and social workers for Addiction Treatment right now (on the one hand it's a shame it's so needed, on the other hand I'm glad the issues is being addressed), and of course, computers and technology seems to be ever evolving too. It all kind of makes me curious to see what new things colleges will offer ten and twenty years from now, that is, if college is a sound choice for people to make.
