I think everyone should go the route they want to go, and if someone wants to go to a liberal arts college, then they can. I have dreams to do something else, and going to a liberal arts college might (and I only say might) help me.
I think everyone future will get screwed at some point, true that.
One of the biggest reasons I'm thinking of going to a liberal arts college is actually the size of a university. I don't want to go to a college that is way too big for personal reasons I shall not mention, so I'm trying to look at smaller colleges. I don't think a community college is for me either, as you generally have to move up to a big university if you continue on into education, which I plan to do.
