		<description><![CDATA[In today’s ever changing job market, it is becoming harder and harder for students to be sufficiently prepared once they graduate. Skills learned either do not apply anymore because of technology’s rapid evolution, or there are more skills to be learned that students missed out on.

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that today&#8217;s college students just can&#8217;t win. After getting accepted to college, taking out loans to pay for it, and working hard to graduate, students are dissatisfied with the outcome.
However disenchanted students may feel, they are not alone. And for some recent graduates, graduating into the unknown is the minor problem. Some students [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As tuition prices soar it has become commonplace for students to accumulate such massive debt that they will spend their lifetimes repaying it. So as this dangerous cycle continues, who is to blame for it's perpetuation? Schools for charging so much or students for agreeing to their financial demands?]]></description>

Students at American University learn to unlearn and go through a 'disorientation' process in which they ask themselves questions like 'who am I?' and 'what does it mean to be human?']]></description>
