Drew Faust, President of Harvard University, extols the benefits of a college education in an article for USA Today.
Though acknowledging the financial advantages in the job market offered by a college degree, Faust focuses in the piece on other benefits more difficult to measure:
"College takes students to places they've never been before."
"College introduces students to people they've never met before."
"College teaches students the virtue of slowing down."
Faust talks of how colleges help students to explore themselves and the world around them, to open their minds, find a passion, choose a field to work in. Yes, salaries are important, Faust says, but the value of a college education involves so much more.
