I was back at school – or maybe just a school instead of the specific one I went to.  I decided to change my major, from economics to … farming.  Except they didn’t offer farming and I had to settle for horticulture.  No matter that I was already a senior, I figured I could double up on classes and graduate in just an extra year.  My immediate plan for summer was to get an internship at our local CSA.

Very strange dream – I’ve gotten over the fact that college was a general waste of time & money, though I did dwell on the could’ve/should’ve for a few years.  From the unschooling perspective, I can’t see going to college for something that can be learned other ways, like on your own or via volunteering, an apprenticeship or a job.

The cost of college has got to be a bubble waiting to be burst.  What’s the point of graduating chock full of debt?  Who needs a degree for menial office labor?  A recession will probably push college demand even higher as people go back to school to Improve Themselves, but there has to be some sort of backlash brewing.
