> I’m just grateful my college degree has the year 2011 on it, for what it’s worth.

College students still cram and purge. Nobody forced to sit through OChem remembers their Diels-Alder reaction except the organic chemists.

College degrees probably don't have as much value as we've historically ascribed to them. There's a lot of nostalgia and tradition pent up in them.

The students who do the best typically fill their schedule with extra-curricular projects and learning that isn't dictated by professors and grading curves.
