The Six Year College Degree
Jan. 5th, 2007 09:41 amIt took me five years to graduate from college. It took Michael eight. I have a friend from junior high who started college in 1997 and still hasn't graduated. Many of my closest friends at Knox took over 4 years to graduate. To this day I often tell younger friends who are stressed out over their grades and performance that nobody actually graduates from college in four years. And now there's proof.

i, personally, wanted to shop around a little before i chose my major to make sure it was what i really wanted to do and not something that caught my eye first semester of my freshman year
it pisses me off how advisors/parents/etc expect you to know exactly what you want to do with the rest of your life at 18 (or, in my case, 17). bah
