You don't go to school to learn a specific skill. If that's all you want, you're going to burn up a lot money and find yourself back at square zero in 10 years.
You go to school to learn how to learn. And I don't mean that philosophically. I mean, you learn how to navigate the system. Because no matter what job you get out of college, unless you're a professional like a lawyer or doctor, in 2 or 5 or 10 years your job title is going to disappear, and you're going to be forced to learn a new set of skills. And if you can't do that efficiently and confidently, then you're screwed.
