Personally, I don't go to school to learn or for the piece of paper at the end. I'm smart (or arrogant) enough to think that I can learn anything I need to pretty quickly. I go to school to find professors (and other students, for that matter) who care about what they're doing and to interact with them. I entered college as a CS major, picked up International Relations as a major somewhere along the way in freshman year after taking a class to fill a req that turned out to be surprisingly good. This semester? I'm taking 6 classes in 5 different departments. Turns out that my least favorite class is my CS class. And thats still a surprisingly good class (even if I'm not a huge fan of how it's taught). One of my favorite classes that I've taken (well, currently taking, in this case) is an upper-level digital art class. Somehow, I'm half-decent at design, but, I'm not an art student. I just emailed the professor and said that I was interested in the class, that I wanted to see if there is any crossover that could be done to combine the two fields. I stopped by and spoke to her one afternoon and we spent the next few hours discussing possibilities. That sort of thing just doesn't happen often enough. But thats why you go to college; for the occasions that it does happen.
