An undergraduate degree in this country teaches you how to become a worker bee. If you like being a worker bee, getting a decent(?) salary, taking 2 weeks and then later in life maybe 6 weeks vacation, by all means study business, marketing, etc. Otherwise, get educated.

If only we could have a few more people every year become free thinkers and creators.
- julius_geezer 17y agoDidn't Asimov do an advanced degree in chemistry?
- Vladik 17y agoYes he did. Medicine, law, engineering, mathematics, etc., most people will need to go to college and graduate programs. Tough to self-educate in those areas.
