As someone who heard your "taking ownership" talk back in 2009 I can attest that it is true in more ways than I could possibly imagine. <br /><br />However, in many ways the opportunities to take ownership in the educational system have been eroded for my generation. A lot of my bad university experiences were actually related to the wealth inequality problem in this country, and there are a lot of self-fulfilling prophecies within the system that help to exacerbate this issue. However even with these barriers I still have my degree and "real" experience needed for the workplace.<br /><br />I always imagined that I would end in graduate school and be a part of the research community. Instead I'm part of a private weather company as a computer programmer/software developer. I have no regrets and I will still be taking "ownership" over what I learn. However, I feel it will be less in the realm of academia and more of the "maker" way of professional life.Justin Reidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759913671101666257.post-75056361454534327022013-04-18T07:43:48.484-05:002013-04-18T07:43:48.484-05:00Barry,
