Education

So I am sitting here in class and it never cease to amaze me whenever I hear why some people are in college? I have heard some people say "I don't know why I am in college," I have also heard the famous "my parents made me come," I have heard "I heard the parties a great," and I just heard for the first time "I came for the financial aid!" What???? Is this what my taxes are going towards? What happened to the goal oriented students who know what they want out of life and knows what they want out of college? I have been in school for a while, but at least I can say why I am in college! I wonder if parents of these students came on a surprise visit would the find their child studying or partying? Would you (the reader)be proud to know that you are paying for your child to party? I work for a photography company and came across this one student who "graduated" from a prestigious medical school, but I dug a little deeper and found out that this young lady never attended a day of medical school. She took out loans and financial aid to only party and do whatever she wanted to do. Essentially she took money from some other person who desired to be in medical school and could have been in medical school if it wasn't for finances. I think there should be an interviewing process before a student receives financial aid just so that administrators will know where these students are before making thousands of dollars available to them to squander.
