College, Round Holes, and Square Pegs

If you have both feet planted on level ground, then the university has failed you.
- Robert F. Goheen

The college industry is a tool for society to place all the square pegs in the square holes and all the round pegs in the round holes. Heaven forbid you’re not a square or round peg. First they’ll try and put you on the lathe and shave you into a normal peg. Second they’ll try and at least take off the more radical edges so you at least fit, no matter how uncomfortably, into a square or round hole. Lastly, they use you as an example of a bad peg and throw you on the scrap heap.

If you let them.
