One reason to take college course is to learn the "true" versions of American/World histories and politics that are portrayed in a somewhat unicorns and rainbows fashion in High School. |

First-of-all, I'm not dropping out of college. I'm finishing it. Kicking and screaming, but I'm finishing it. Second-of-all, the first place I worked was a place that I began volunteering at in 1998. Yes, I was 11, but the public library let me do things like straighten out books and help with stamping, etc. That was after I worked in the school library all through elementary school. Then when I was 16 I got a part-time job at the public library. I worked there until 19, when I quit to work at a theatre and at the library on campus. I only quit the library on Campus to further pursue my education and career in theatre. Follow-through is important, but I think I showed that I have it. Third-of-all, I understand about liberal arts education being about process. I wasn't as frustrated with college until my junior year when almost everything I was being taught, I had already learned from on-the-job experience. I am one of the only theatre students at the university who is going out and working in the community. I take my work and education very serious. Theatre is a competitive field. I know what's out there. But for me, classroom learning is not enough and, frankly, moves too slow. |

It is not an unalienable right that you get to do what you want or what you like in life, you choose to or not. Dont blame you choices on the institution. |

I meant as far as staying committed to a task and putting forth effort. I spent more time working at a library than I will at college. Even if I go back for a masters. |

I'm not sure what everyone is talking about because I don't have the attention span to follow through boring things.
I don't want to finish my liberal arts college because it holds no tangible value with what I want to do with my life. I just want to get out and get started on what I actually want my life to be. I'm not trying to make a living, I'm trying to make a life. |

I think that the most important thing to come out of this PODCAST is that it's very important that the RSS FEEDS on your website are correct. Comicalradio...come on...really? Maybe it's just me, but the link I finally figured out is Comical Radio Hmmm...is this a neg?
