Colleges arent there to make you into an activist. That is your own personal decision that you should have enough motivation to do regardless of what the school tells you to do. The liberal arts part of college is there to expose you to things that you wouldn't just run into during self study. Its there to teach you things that don't have direct application, things that make your life interesting just because you know them. It puts the tools in your hands that you will need so that YOU can come up with the right course of action and then DO IT. There's nothing that says once you get your degree your obligated to do nothing with the knowledge except pass it on to others (Although makeing people aware of the problems in the world is a necessary preliminary step to fixing them).

Then theres the science and math. That shit is there because you really cant just self study. If you trying to learn Maxwell's equations or how your genetic information is encoded in DNA, i dont care who you are, you're gonna need somebody to explain it to you not just read it.

The wrap up is Its up to you to take action AFTER you get your education. A degree lends you credibility in some circles and it will never stop you from starting a company like habitat for humanity.

Uh stay in school
