I graduated from college three weeks ago. (That's me in the picture!)
I know that I am experiencing a barrage of emotions and thoughts. I know that one of those feelings is annoyance.
I am annoyed by the two emerging hegemonic conceptions of college.
There's the idea that college is the great equalizer and the ticket for anybody (regardless of initial socioeconomic class or race) to have access to the middle class. Then there are those who argue that college is no longer worth the money and time and college graduates are in an awful position and would have been better off never going.
The fact is that neither of these positions are correct. At least not for college grads like myself.
