Yeah, even a college diploma is basically a generic piece of paper to most employers. It doesn't seem to matter what is on that paper, just as long as you have it.



By "most employers", I really hope you don't mean employers that require you to have the training and knowledge that college courses give you. The same college courses (in any field) that get you that diploma.

We've been talking a lot about dropout rates (in grade school and high school), drug problems, and pregnancy rates in my Educational Psychology class. Hearing and reading about these numbers is sad. Sure, there are those that decide school isn't for them. But so many drop out due to drugs, gangs, etc.
