Final Year musings....

experiMental

Now being a really pedantic person as I really am, I hate the way the 4th or 5th year of college is called the "Final Year".

Final year of college is not your final year. You've got at least 50 or 60 or 70 more years to live. It should be called something else.

The reason for this is, that people might respond to end of college slightly differently.

Now any ideas for alternative name for a "Final Year"?

"You are on your own" is better

keep 'em coming, I would also like a view on whether college has become a voluntary extension to secondary school. Think about it, only a small percentage of people make it to the sort of specialist careers that really and truly require a college degree, e.g computer hardware engineering reseach, medicine, etc.
