Kid, you do not need college. You are already a better writer and a more sensible thinker than 95% of the professors in the humanities. There is nothing, nothing, nothing those people can teach you. Take it from me. I have a B.A. in English, a B.A. in French, an M.A. in applied linguistics, and did three years in a Ph.D. program in Anthropology. I've published, I've taught, I've edited scholarly journals, I've done fieldwork.... what do you think you'll get from these smug, useless, socks-and-sandals wearing tofu-eating latte-sipping pony-tailed fascists?

Unfortunately nothing. Except, of course, for a degree.

(Though thankfully that doesn't mean much in the creative field.)

he probably will not learn much at college, but he will get the sheepskin.
With a sheepskin (and $.93) he'll be able to get a cup of coffee.
See? It's worth it after all :)

Nothing, if he's lucky. But better stand at least 10 feet away, just to be safe.

Linguistics and anthropology are my dream fields! Not that they really exist anymore....If the Marxists hadn't taken them out that's what I'd have studied----I guess I was born too late.
