College, to me, is a place you go to get a degree and learn skills that get you a better job.

I think there needs to be a new school that is the "enlightening" sort of world, or what I view as college needs to be split from colleges now.

    Study something that can't be self-taught efficiently,

I've been learning most of my classes by re-learning them online after I get out of my original classes. The online ones are just as in depth so year, and I'm sitting two years in college.

I could have the same skills for a hell of a lot cheaper if the internet could print me a degree.
