College isn't for everyone but there are a great number of us whose lives have been greatly enriched by our years at good liberal arts colleges.

Whether or not someone should go to *IT or get a CS degree so that they can pursue a technical career is mostly a function of the person and their capacity to engage in self-directed learning.
