Some time ago I held a special lecture about efficient note taking and learning in class. It was filmed, I have the edited the pieces and made a video. The sound is not perfect, so comprehension suffers; the plan was to write the subtitles and then go public.
There is a trend among students - skip classes because they have a job. I've seen this happen to my colleagues when I was a student, and I see this happen to my students today, when I am a teacher.
I always disagreed with this, for a very simple reason - education is the best investment you can ever make.
A job gives you money, but with a better education you can get a better job and even more money. If money is what you're optimizing, then the calculus is trivial: "money" << "even more money"; the choice should be obvious. Shouldn't it?
