For Whom the Title Goes?

Nowadays, universities are full with all kind of students and their personal objectives. Because of some jobs have increased its standards, many people go to college (to get a title) first, before they decided to work. The question is, "Are they going to college only to have a bachelor degree or to pursue their dreams?"

To tell the difference of which students are "degree type" or "dream type", first, we have to know the reason or the background of why they choose to go to college. "Degree type" usually give cliche reasons to this kind of questions. Such as, "because my parents said I should to" or "it helps me to get a job more easily," or other dull-like answers.

Unlike "degree type", "dream type" usually have different answers. They know very well of what they are doing. Nobody told them to go to college, because going to college is part of their plans for the future. "Dream type" never give reasons like "degree type" gave, because it is what they need, not someone else's want.

Secondly, when it comes to work ethic. "Degree type" usually underestimate the value of class. They came late, accepting 'C' grade as better than nothing, and magically able to skip group assignment and presentation like ghost missing in the midst.

Compare to "dream type" that usually came on time, asking when did not understand the subject given by lecturers, and well prepared with their presentation, "dream type" are nothing to compare with when it comes to dedication.

In the end, either "degree type" or "dream type" will walk out from college with a title, they will become bachelor in their field of study. In the future, they maybe working in the same office and have the same amount of salary --- although when they were in college, "dream type" attended classes more often than others. It is kinda ironic, but sometimes fact tells the truth. That was just the only similarity they have: both are known as the specialist in their field of study.

With so many college students today, it is hard to tell which one of them is "man of the future". With all the differences they had, they both looking for the same goal: to have a bachelor degree, either it is "dream type" or "degree type". So which side are you on?
