<p>To add another note, here is an article that Swat publishes & distributes to its visiting prospective students: <a href=“http://www.swarthmore.edu/Humanities/tkitao1/useless.html[/url]”>http://www.swarthmore.edu/Humanities/tkitao1/useless.html</a> , “THE USEFULNESS OF USELESSNESS,” T. Kaori Kitao, William R. Kenan, Jr., Professor of Art History, Swarthmore College. </p>
<p>As excuses for not going to business school and choosing a LAC, 1. I plan on doing internships to keep things practical 2. at my current internship, nothing I do or my bosses do was learned at college (except drinking and other unmentionables). In fact, all necessary knowledge is done with on-the-job training. The business culture at my firm tells me that the point of college is just to get the degree; it’s like a requirement to be considered, much like taking SAT’s is required. While that’s not what I think college is all about, it does counter the vocational school argument a bit.</p>
