Was it worth it?

After tomorrow at 2:00pm I'll officially be done with my undergraduate college career. This has caused me to reflect on my college career tonight and simply ask: was it worth it?
In many ways I would say it was worth it. Having a college degree is almost necessary in today's world. So I guess for over $30,000 I have met the standard of today's world. I have become a better writer, reader, and listener, although I do wonder sometimes whether that is a result of the university system or just my own ambition. I remember my freshman year down at Augsburg when I took History 101. The entire class was to write a paper and turn it in at the end of the year. No textbook, no tests, no lecture...just the paper. When pressed on how long the paper had to be, the pompous professor replied, "As long as a piece of string." This guy's philosophical babble got annoying really quick and we ended up giving him terrible reviews at the end of the semester (that didn't stop Augsburg from giving him Teacher of the Year). I remember leaving the class at the end of my first semester thinking, "I just spent $1500 bucks to do something I could have done in a week at the library for free."
Another thing that really makes me wonder if college is worth it is how radical college students' world view can change after four years at a university. After four years of college I have been taught that: no culture can claim to be better or superior than another; Middle East terrorism exists mainly because of poverty; there are no fundamental differences between men and women; communists countries like Cuba actually serve their citizens quite well, but the media never reports it. These are just a few examples of some of the absolutely ridiculousness things that get many college students are taught as truth. College seems to be set up to provide "knowledge" rather than "wisdom." I think we need a little more wisdom taught to our citizens. It's frowned upon however because it would require us to actually make judgments about things.
A story I heard on the Dennis Prager radio show the other day sums it all up for me: PETA has started a campaign where they insert pictures of slaughtered chickens along side pictures of mass graves from Nazi concentration camps. This, in their view, will reveal to the masses the evil associated with slaughtering chickens. Prager responded by stating, "You've had to have gone to college to believe something so stupid." Unfortunately, I agree. I'm proud of my degree, but there is a part of me that worries about what kind of society we are creating through our education system. Any society that believes that there can't be civilization, society, or culture that is better than another, is a society that is in danger of becoming a dangerous place where wisdom is no longer valued.
