Sakky-"Huh indeed? Again the answer is simple - because you will graduate. Let's face it. You don't just go to college just for the sake of going to college. You go to college because you want to graduate and get a degree. "

I don't want to go to college to get a degree. Screw that. If it were possible to get into grad school without a BS then I would probalby do just that, unless I got the BS by doing what I wanted anyways. Caltech and MIT (along with other rigorous schools) were both up high on my list in terms of choice because of their academic rigor, and let me tell you, I honeslty do not care if I live in a **** hole for the rest of my life as long as I can do what I want to do, learn what I want to learn, and research what I want to research.

Money means nohting to me, and never has. So there's at least one person in this world that does not fit your assumptions of why one goes to college: it is most certailny not to get a degree. I go because I want to learn.
