What matters is who you become in college

This is just a personal observation, but with my own kids (now age 29 and 26), I have noticed far more personal growth during the years after college than I did during their college years. I’m not saying that they didn’t mature and learn a great deal in college – they did. But college is a unique environment, and much of what happens there is not directly applicable to adult life. They learned more and developed more after graduation, and what they learned has been more applicable to the rest of their lives.

I think that the decade after college is crucial to “becoming” the person you will be – often more so than the college years.
