I went to school to better myself and to learn. yes, it helps get a job, but if you actually learn something, you can apply your skills anywhere. And yes, it is tricky to convince a hiring manager that you do have skills that may not be obvious from your degree, but learning how to write a resume or interview is another valuable skill.

If nothing else, college taught me how to live simply, to communicate, to enjoy life, that people from all over the world and different subcultures are people too, and how to make do with less than ideal conditions in the lean times.
