... what planet are these people living on? I seem to remember college as being boot camp and I've only been out for a year. Go, go, Networking! Which, might I add, as been removed from my program. It's gone along with the old school photography courses. That is SO not fair. We had to spend 2 or 3 months colour balancing a print.
Back to the article, I love how they're offering "Living away from home" classes now. Yeah, res kills people. But, do we really need a class on sex and drinking in college dorms?! These things should be common sense - don't drink and try to keep your legs closed if you have an exam in the morning.
They really should have a class on budgeting, though. I cannot begin to count the students who had complex problems with their budgets. It was quite sad. :\
