Are you going to college to get a degree, or an education?

My experiences at Clarkson taught me, that in some classes, you can cram for the tests and pass the course without learning much at all. (Though you will often pay for doing so down the road, when you're expected to know the stuff you crammed and forgot).

If you go through college doing this, you will regret it.
So, now I ask people the above question, and ask them to remember this question throughout their college tenure.

Are you going to college to get a degree, or an education?

(Make sure you get both, I'm not advocating a Kamenesque career.)
