Nov. 20th, 2002 12:27 pmJohn Stewart went back to his alma matter and answered students questions. Here's a few choice quotes:
"I don't really want to bum anybody out, but college is useless," he said. "I don't mean that in a bad way. I just mean that it costs too much and it takes too long, and you don't learn enough. But other than that -- it's really fun. The transition from college to life is an enormous one.
And unless you really know what you want to do, I would recommend that you don't worry about it. It doesn't matter ... just get good at it.
Whatever it is that you do, don't add to the suckiness that is out there. The world is filled with incompetence, and people doing things they don't want to be doing. Do what you want to do, and you'll get good at it, and you'll add to the discussion and the dialogue. If you do what you don't want to do, you'll be bitter and old and your parents."
