<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3602436, member: 76194"]The problem with a lot of college degrees is that they're basically hobbies. If you want to learn art or music, these are things you could study for very little money by hiring a private art or music teacher (or even cheaper if you join a class at a studio rather than hiring a private teacher just for yourself). Literature, history, sociology, philosophy, and art history can be studied by buying books on Kindle on the subjects, or going to conventions, etc. There really is no need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a degree in those areas.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tell me, why spend $65,000 to study classical history, when for $7000 you could buy dozens of Kindle books and dozens of computer lectures on the subject, visit several museums stateside with ancient artifacts, and go on a European trip to visit and experience many of the sites and artifacts for yourself. Not only will you end up learning as much or more than those who paid for the expensive degree, you'll also have way more hands on experience than them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
