Why? What for?

"A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education"
- George Bernard Shaw

In our country, there is this idea that everyone deserves a college education. We are asked to make such an important choice at a very young age. As a result, we have tons of drop outs, and people changing their minds, which, to a certain point, is a good thing, as we all must try to both make a living and enjoy what we do.

Why did you choose your field of study? What characteristics do you have that make it a good choice? Is it what you really want? Do you have doubts about your choice? Are there things that you do not need to study? What subjects are important for you to study now? What actions do you have to do to achieve your goals? Do you have a plan to achieve them? What is important now? What isn't? What drives you? What are your motivations? When are you planning to be professional? What bothers you about your teachers? What do you like about them? Where would you like to work? Do you understand what it is like to have a boss? Do you like to deal with people? What is your attitude about being told what to do? Do you understand that eventually you will have to be independent? At what age should you be independent? 

For today's activity you have to think about all of these questions and others I have not pointed out.  

VERY important note:
I do NOT want a bunch of clichés oreven  a single one! I want you to write it from the heart. Furthermore, tomorrow [Tuesday, October 15th] you will give an ENTERTAINING two-minute talk on it.  You can NOT have notes, you can not use visual support, or music. It will just be YOU!
