USC journalism freshman Rebecca
Mueller disagreed with this finding.

I think that it will help me present
my views. However, a lot of the classes
that I am taking arc pretty general. But
I think that someday they will help
out," she said.
Thomas Cafferty, USC associate
psychology professor, said there were
two reasons for the students' feelings.

people in fields that find out 10 or 12
years later that the course that they
took in music, English, or psychology
turns out to be incredibly important.
"Therefore, the student isn't to
blame. It's just that they haven't had

recognizc that it was relevant to their
career," he said.

Adams said this was because of
undergraduates' misconception that
they arc in college to receive specific
job training rather than to reccive an
education.
"So they don't perceive the benefit
of things that arc not teaching them
job skills, but rather arc preparing
them to live a fully useful life," he
said.
