College is like anything else you do -- you get out of it what you put into it. If you spend your college years getting wasted and chasing the opposite sex, then the type of job you deserve when you get out will probably reflect that. However, if you truly work on learning, acquiring knowledge, improving yourself and making the world a better place, then everything else will take care of itself. You must know discipline and patience, however. KU's 2008 National Championship seemed doomed many times, but the attitude, belief, faith, perseverance and diligence carried them through. Give up your pride and ask help from others, in addition to helping yourself and society and you'll find college worthwhile and rewarding -- even if the rewards don't come until 4-5 years after you graduate. Humility paves the way for wisdom. Arrogance leads to the great fall.
