I get it. Your undergraduate experience appears very similar to mine. I chose a college based on my intended major. However during my time I also developed professional relationships with professors and formed professionals friendships with members of my class. I still use those contacts today. In contrast a relative changed colleges several times but still developed professional friendships along the way. He ultimately obtained a degree albeit a very nontraditional track. I know several people that are taking courses, many online, at various colleges with the ultimate goal of “checking the box” for a degree. Most of the knowledge, professional relationships and skill applicable to their job is derived from on the job training. I’ve long considered the two main points of college to be 1) establishing a baseline credential (I was an electrical engineer at State U or I graduated from Stanford or Yale or wherever) and 2) the network of professors and colleagues you develop during that time period. It appears more students are meeting those two objectives in a very different way.
