I think what you get out of college is determined by what you major in.
I never had to write much in college because I was an engineering major. I was first a chemical engineering major, and then switche to computer science.
I learned a lot in both majors, but computer science was much more practical for me.
Also, the first 2 years of college tend to be your core classes. If you had a good high school education, you might not learn that much in those 2 years. The last 2 years of college tend to dive into your major.
My son is a junior in high school, and my daughters will be in high school next year. We talked a lot about college.
One of my daughters is totally into performing arts. She wants to major in music. We won’t pay for her to get that degree. She’s already saying that if she decides to major in music, she may go to our local state school and live at home. The college has a very well-respected flute teacher. I’m glad she’s already thinking like that. She’s trying to figure out how to follow her dreams without going broke.
It was the Germans..!!

Forget it. She's rolling.
